IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and approved by CENELEC as HD 60364-5-559:2012.

A draft amendment, which covers common modifications to IEC 60364-5-55 (64/1805/FDIS (CLAUSE 559)),
was prepared by CLC/TC 64 "Electrical installations and protection against electric shock" and approved by
CENELEC.
The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2013-03-14
• latest date by which the document has
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
(dow) 2015-03-14
• latest date by which the national

standards conflicting with the
document have to be withdrawn
This document supersedes HD 60364-5-559:2005 + corr. Oct.2007.

In Denmark if no information is given in the luminaire manufacturer’s information sheet

regarding the current carrying value of the through wiring in the luminaire depending of
the installation method, the biggest fuse allowed up-stream in the installation is 10A,
which on the safe side corresponds to the current carrying capacity for a 1,5 mm Cu
conductor
In Denmark the third paragraph is replaced by the following requirement:
559.5.3
Cables for through wiring in luminaires prepared for through wiring but not delivered by

the manufacturer, shall be selected in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction
