Overview
EN 60598-2-5:2015 (identical to IEC 60598-2-5:2015) is the European particular-requirements standard for floodlights - luminaires used to illuminate scenes or objects. It applies to floodlights powered from supply voltages up to 1 000 V and updates the previous (1998) edition. A significant technical change in this edition is the introduction of a glass breaking test to reduce hazards from shattered glass.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & integration: Read together with IEC/EN 60598-1 (general requirements and tests).
- Safety & electrical tests: Requirements cover insulation resistance, dielectric strength, protection against electric shock, creepage/clearance distances, and thermal/endurance testing.
- Mechanical & environmental tests:
- Hammer (impact) tests reference IEC 60068-2-75 and IK code (IEC 62262) for impact resistance.
- Glass breaking test introduced to limit risk from broken flat or curved glass.
- Vibration resistance and endurance under service conditions.
- Ingress protection: Floodlights for outdoor use shall have moisture protection of at least IPX3.
- Mechanical construction & mounting:
- Lampholder and lamp support durability, correct seating and retention.
- Reflectors/refractors must be keyed/marked so they can only be fitted correctly.
- Fixings must prevent dislodgement under vibration and, for outdoor above-ground use, withstand wind effects (connection designed for 150 km/h projected-surface load).
- Load test using sand-bags: 2.4 kN/m² applied for 10 min, rotated 180° and repeated - no failure or permanent set >1°.
- Additional protection for parts mounted above 3 m if not fixed with at least two independent devices.
- Marking & documentation: Instruction leaflet must include operating position, weight/dimensions, maximum projected area, indoor/outdoor limitations, and maximum mounting height if ≤ 5 m (relevant to glass-fall protection).
Practical applications and users
Who uses EN 60598-2-5:2015:
- Floodlight manufacturers - for design and compliance testing.
- Test laboratories & certification bodies - to perform required mechanical, electrical and glass-break tests.
- Lighting designers and specifiers - to write performance and safety requirements into procurements.
- Installers and facility managers - to ensure correct mounting, fixing and safe operation (mounting height, vibration resistance, IP rating).
- Regulatory/compliance teams - to demonstrate conformity with LVD and CENELEC adoption.
Typical applications:
- Outdoor sports and stadium lighting, façade and architectural floodlighting, industrial area illumination, and high-mounted site security lighting where robust mechanical performance and glass safety are critical.

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 60598-2-5 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires, of
IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1998, and constitutes a
technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition: it introduces requirements for the glass breaking test.
