Overview
EN 60598-2-2:2012 (IEC 60598-2-2:2011) defines particular requirements for recessed luminaires. It applies to luminaires incorporating electric light sources for operation from supply voltages up to 1 000 V and excludes air‑handling or liquid‑cooled designs. This third edition updates and aligns the recessed‑luminaire requirements with later versions of EN/IEC 60598‑1 (general requirements and tests).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and normative references: Cross references to IEC 60598‑1 (general requirements) and cable standards (IEC 60227, IEC 60245) are normative and indispensable for application.
- Construction and classification: Luminaires must be classified and marked in accordance with IEC 60598‑1 provisions; construction requirements are applied specifically to recessed designs.
- Wiring and cable temperature: Flexible cables supplied with the luminaire must meet mechanical/electrical properties of IEC 60227/60245 or equivalent materials and withstand the highest expected service temperature. Table 1 of the standard links required cable operating temperatures to IEC 60598‑1 limits or to the luminaire’s marked cable temperature.
- Thermal and endurance tests: Thermal endurance tests ensure wiring and components do not reach unsafe temperatures. The standard specifies test order and measurement methods (reference to Annex K of IEC 60598‑1).
- IP (ingress protection) sequencing: For luminaires with classification greater than IP20, specific dust/moisture tests from IEC 60598‑1 must be applied in a defined sequence relative to thermal tests.
- Protection against electric shock and earthing: Parts within ceiling cavities must provide the same degree of protection as exposed parts; earthing provisions follow IEC 60598‑1.
- Insulation, electric strength, heat, fire and tracking: Requirements and tests for insulation resistance, dielectric strength, resistance to heat and tracking are applied as per the referenced clauses in Part 1.
- Ambient temperature measurement: Annex A gives a procedure for measuring installation ambient temperature and notes the practical need for mock‑ups to verify thermal performance in situ.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committee
