Foreword
The text of document 34D/889/FDIS, future edition 7 of IEC 60598-1, prepared by SC 34D, Luminaires, of
IEC TC 34, Lamps and related equipment, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote.
A draft amendment, prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 34Z, Luminaires and associated
equipment, covering the needed common modifications towards IEC 60598-1:2008 (34D/889/FDIS) was
submitted to the formal vote.
The combined texts were approved by CENELEC as EN 60598-1 on 2008-10-21.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60598-1:2004 + A1:2006 + corrigendum August 2007.
The major changes which may affect certification are given in Annex R. Annex R shows where a new text
has been included which contains more serious/critical requirements requiring products to be re-tested.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2009-08-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2012-04-12
NOTE In this standard, the following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
Annexes ZA, ZB and ZC have been added by CENELEC.

A-deviations
A-deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being outside the
competence of the CEN/CENELEC member.

This European Standard falls under Directive 2006/95/EC.

NOTE  (from CEN/CENELEC IR Part 2:2008, 2.17)  Where standards fall under EC Directives, it is the view of the Commission of the
European Communities (OJ No. C59; 1982-03-09) that the effect of the decision of the Court of Justice in case 815/79
Cremonini/Vrankovich (European Court Reports 1980, p. 3583) is that compliance with A-deviations is no longer mandatory and that the
free movement of products complying with such a standard should not be restricted except under the safeguard procedure provided for
in the relevant Directive.
A-deviations in an EFTA-country are valid instead of the relevant provisions of the European Standard in
that country until they have been removed.
