This Part, using translation method, is identical to IEC 60598-1.2014

"Luminaires - Part 1.General requirements and tests".

China's documents which have a consistent correspondence with the

international documents normatively referenced in this Part are given in Annex

NA.

This Part has made the following editorial changes.

national standards and international standards".

Luminaires - Part 1.General requirements and tests

0 General introduction

1000 V. The requirements and related tests of this Part cover. classification,

marking, mechanical construction, electrical construction and photobiological

safety.

Each section of this Part is read in conjunction with this Section 0 and with other

relevant sections to which reference is made.

Each standard of Part 2 of GB 7000 details requirements for a particular type

of luminaire or group of luminaires on supply voltages not exceeding 1000 V.

These parts are published separately for ease of revision and additional

sections will be added as and when a need for them is recognized.

The presentation of photometric data for luminaires is under consideration by

the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) and is not, therefore,

included in this Part.

Requirements are included in this Part for luminaires incorporating ignitors with

nominal peak values of the voltage pulse not exceeding those of Table 11.2.

The requirements apply to luminaires with ignitors built into ballasts and to

luminaires with ignitors separate from ballasts. For luminaires with ignitors built

into lamps, the requirements are under consideration.

Requirements for semi-luminaires are included in this Part.

In general, this Part covers safety requirements for luminaires. The object of

this Part is to provide a set of requirements and tests which are considered to

be generally applicable to most types of luminaires and which can be called up

as required by the detail specifications of Part 2 of GB 7000.This Part is thus

not regarded as a specification in itself for any type of luminaire, and its

provisions apply only to particular types of luminaires to the extent determined

by the appropriate part of particular requirements of GB 7000.

Standards of Part 2 of GB 7000, in making reference to any of the sections of

this Part, specify the extent to which that section is applicable and the order in

which the tests are to be performed; they also include additional requirements

as necessary.
