37 FOREWORD
38 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
39 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
40 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
41 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
42 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
43 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
44 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
45 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
46 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
47 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
48 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
49 interested IEC National Committees.
50 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
51 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
52 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
53 misinterpretation by any end user.
54 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
55 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
56 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
57 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
58 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
59 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
60 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
61 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
62 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
63 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
64 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
65 Publications.
66 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
67 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
68 9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
69 patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
70 respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
71 may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
72 the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch www.
73 [IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
74 IEC 60598-2-11 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires, of IEC technical
75 committee 34: Lighting. It is an International Standard.
76 This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, amendment 1 published in 2022.
77 This edition constitutes a technical revision.
78 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
79 edition:
80 a) the clause numbers and structure have been aligned with those of IEC 60598-1
81 b) The requirements for photobiological hazard against UV inside the aquarium have been
82 moved from an Annex into the main text of clause 7

90 ISO/IEC Directives, JTC 1 Supplement available at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The
91 main document types developed by IEC are described in greater detail at
92 www.iec.ch/publications.
93 This Part 2-11 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60598-1 and its
94 amendment(s). It was established on the basis of the tenth edition 2024 of that standard.
96 NOTE  When “Part 1” is mentioned in this document, it refers to IEC 60598-1.
