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 national member.

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

NOTE (from CEN-CENELEC IR Part 2:2011, 2.17) Where standards fall under EU Directives, it is the view of
the Commission of the European Communities (OJ No C 59; 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
be restricted except under the safeguard procedure provided for
complying with such a standard should not
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.

Luminaires for emergency lighting

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 Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60598-2-22 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires
of IEC technical committee 34: Lamp and related equipment.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 1997, AMD1:2002 and

batteries;
– 4 – IEC 60598-2-22:2014 © IEC 2014
c) Clause 22.6, improved requirements to confirm that the charge indication is correctly
connected to the circuit together with other clarifications regarding the controlgear and the
remote box with its connecting cabe to the emergency luminaire;
d) Clause 22.12, improved requirements to ensure that the luminaire shall not become
unsafe;
e) Clause 22.16, full revision of the photometric testing to align with ISO and CIE;
f) Clause 22.17, now only references the requirements which are now covered in
IEC 61347-2-7;
g) Clause 22.19, now only references the requirements which are now covered in
IEC 61347-2-7;
h) Annex A, now includes nickel metal hydride batteries and reference to cell types in
IEC 61951-1;
i) Annex B, minor changes to the classifications;
j) Annex C, Figure C.1 deleted in favour of a revised text;
k) Annex E, the additional requirements covering self-contained portable emergency

22.7.3 Emergency luminaires shall be equipped with a protection device which disconnects
the luminaire from the supply in case of any failure within that luminaire.
Compliance is checked by measurement and inspection.
22.7.4 For emergency luminaires, the mechanical strength tests given in Clause 4.13 of
IEC 60598-1 shall be applied with a minimum impact energy of 0,35 Nm to all external parts.
22.7.5 Whilst connected to a live supply, self-contained emergency luminaires shall have
adequate separation between the normal supply and live parts in the circuit for battery
charging. When there are exposed live parts, double insulation, reinforced insulation, earth
screen or other equivalent techniques can be used.
Additionally, in the event of bare contacts in the battery charging circuit, a safety isolating
transformer shall be used. If a separating transformer is used as insulation between the
normal supply and the battery charging circuit, the insulation in the battery charging circuit
shall consist of at least basic insulation.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by the tests of Clauses 22.8 and 22.15
22.7.6 In centrally supplied combined emergency luminaires, electrical separation between
normal and emergency supplies shall be ensured by double insulation, reinforced insulation,
earthed screen or other equivalent means.
EXAMPLE The use of basic insulation only, for both circuits, or double/reinforced insulation on the normal supply
circuit fulfils this requirement. The connection of both circuits to a terminal block where the required
creepage/clearances are obtained by leaving one terminal free, without the possibility of connection between the
circuits, is also acceptable.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
22.7.7 Self-contained emergency luminaires shall have adjacent to them or incorporated in
them a device for charging the battery from the normal supply and an indicator visible in
normal use, for example a lamp, which shows the following conditions:
a) the luminaire is connected and the charge of the battery is being maintained;
b) circuit continuity exists through the tungsten filament of emergency lighting lamps where
appropriate.
Where an electrical light source indicator is used, it shall comply with the colour requirements
of IEC 60073 and be green.
For emergency luminaires with tungsten filament lamp(s) both a) and b) apply at the same
time, and for other emergency luminaires without tungsten filaments, such as fluorescent and
LED lamps, only a) applies.
For emergency luminaires with tungsten filament lamps, compliance that circuit continuity
exists through the tungsten filament is checked in the following manner: disconnection of one
of the lamps, or all the lamps when connected in parallel, causes the indicator to extinguish or
change colour in accordance with IEC 60073.
For all emergency luminaires, compliance that the charge indicator is correctly connected to
the circuit is checked in the following manner: disconnection of the battery during the charging
phase, causes the indicator to extinguish or change colour in accordance with IEC 60073.
22.7.8 Self-contained emergency luminaires shall incorporate a battery that meets the
requirements of Annex A and is designed to provide the rated duration for at least four years
of normal operation. This battery shall be used only for emergency related functions within the
luminaire or its satellite.
