Overview
FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 is a draft European amendment developed by CLC (CENELEC) addressing the safety requirements for luminaires with limited surface temperatures. This standard provides additional specifications to EN IEC 60598-1, focusing on the design, construction, and testing of luminaires intended to operate with restricted surface temperatures. The purpose is to reduce burn risk and improve safety wherever luminaires may be accessible or installed in sensitive environments.
The standard was prepared by CLC/TC 34 “Lighting” and aligns with European regulatory directives, notably the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) for electrical safety.
Key Topics
The main areas covered in FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 include:
- Limited Surface Temperature Requirements: Specifies maximum allowable surface temperatures for different luminaire parts to prevent injury on contact.
- Testing Procedures: Outlines testing methodologies to verify that luminaires comply with specified temperature limits under normal operation.
- Referencing Core Standards: Works in conjunction with EN IEC 60598-1 (General requirements and tests) and relevant standards on controlgear safety.
- Conformity Assessment: Details how compliance with this standard supports presumption of conformity with EU legal safety objectives, notably for market access under Directive 2014/35/EU.
- National Adoption and Implementation: Sets out guidelines for member states to adopt and harmonize the amendment at a national level without alterations.
Applications
FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 is applicable to a broad range of luminaires where surface temperature control is critical, such as:
- Public Spaces: Lighting installations in schools, hospitals, and childcare facilities where vulnerable individuals may come into contact with luminaires.
- Commercial and Retail Environments: Controlling surface heat emissions to ensure customer safety in shops, malls, and other high-traffic areas.
- Industrial Settings: Ensuring occupational safety in environments where workers might touch luminaires during operation or maintenance.
- Residential Installations: Providing enhanced safety for lighting fixtures installed in homes, particularly children's bedrooms, nurseries, or care homes.
Limiting surface temperatures helps prevent burns and injuries, making compliance vital for manufacturers, installers, facility managers, and safety assessors. Adoption of this standard ensures safer product offerings and streamlines market entry throughout the European Economic Area.
