36 Part 2-23: Particular requirements – Extra-low-voltage lighting systems for
37 ELV light sources
41 FOREWORD
42 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
43 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
44 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
45 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
46 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
47 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
48 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
49 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
50 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
51 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
52 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
53 interested IEC National Committees.
54 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
55 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
56 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
57 misinterpretation by any end user.
58 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
59 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
60 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
61 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
62 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
63 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
64 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
65 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
66 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
67 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
68 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
69 Publications.
70 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
71 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
72 9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
73 patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
74 respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
75 may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
76 the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch www.
77 [IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
78 IEC 60598-2-23 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires, of IEC technical
79 committee 34: Lighting. It is an International Standard.
80 This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2020. This edition
81 constitutes a technical revision.
82 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
83 edition:
84 a) the clause numbers and structure have been aligned with those of IEC 60598-1
IEC CDV 60598-2-23 ED3 © IEC 2025

85 b) some construction and screwless terminals and electrical connections clauses from the
86 previous edition were deleted as they were a repetition of the requirements of IEC 60598-1
87 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
XX/XX/FDIS XX/XX/RVD
89 Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
90 the above table.
91 The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
92 This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
93 accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, and the
94 ISO/IEC Directives, JTC 1 Supplement available at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The
95 main document types developed by IEC are described in greater detail at
96 www.iec.ch/publications.
97 This Part 2-23 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60598-1 and its
98 amendment(s). It was established on the basis of the tenth edition 2024 of that standard.
100 NOTE  When “Part 1” is mentioned in this document, it refers to IEC 60598-1.
102 Where this document states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text of Part 1 is to
103 be adapted accordingly.
105 Subclauses additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting from 101; supplementary annexes are
106 entitled AAA, AAB, etc.
108 A list of all parts in the IEC 60598 series, published under the general title Luminaires can be found
109 on the IEC website.
111 The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
112 stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
113 specific document. At this date, the document will be
114 • reconfirmed,
115 • withdrawn,
116 • replaced by a revised edition, or
117 • amended.
