Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 7-714: Requirements for special installations or locations - External lighting installations

IEC 60364-7-714:2011 applies to the selection and erection of luminaires and lighting installations forming part of an outdoor fixed installation. The origin of the external lighting installation is the supply delivery point of electrical energy by the supply authority or the origin of the circuit supplying the external lighting installation exclusively. The requirements apply to, for example, lighting installations for roads, parks, gardens, places open to the public, sporting areas, illumination of monuments, floodlighting, telephone kiosks, bus shelters, advertising panels, town plans and road signs. The requirements do not apply to:
- public street-lighting installations which are part of the public power grid;
- temporary festoon lighting;
- road traffic signal systems;
- and luminaires which are fixed to the outside of a building and are supplied directly from the internal wiring of that building.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1996, and constitutes a technical revision. The major technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
- clause numbering is aligned with present structure of IEC 60364;
- additional protection is required in some cases of equipment incorporating lighting;
- more stringent requirements regarding IP degree of protection;
- introduction of particular requirements for isolation.

Installations électriques à basse tension - Partie 7-714: Règles pour les installations et emplacements spéciaux - Installations d'éclairage extérieur

La CEI 60364-7-714:2011 s'applique au choix et à la mise en oeuvre des luminaires et des installations d'éclairage faisant partie d'une installation extérieure fixe. L'origine des installations d'éclairage extérieur est le point de livraison de l'énergie électrique par le distributeur ou l'origine du circuit qui alimente exclusivement l'installation d'éclairage extérieur. Les exigences s'appliquent, par exemple, aux installations d'éclairage des rues, parcs, jardins, lieux publics, terrains de sport, pour l'illumination des monuments, pour l'éclairage par projection, aux installations d'éclairage des cabines téléphoniques, abris d'autobus, panneaux publicitaires, plans de ville et panneaux de signalisation routière. Les exigences ne s'appliquent pas:
- aux installations d'éclairage public qui font partie du réseau de distribution public;
- aux guirlandes lumineuses temporaires; aux systèmes de signalisation routière;
- et aux luminaires fixés à l'extérieur des bâtiments et alimentés directement de l'intérieur de ces bâtiments.
Cette seconde édition annule et remplace la première édition, publiée en 1996 dont elle constitue une révision technique. Les modifications principales par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivantes:
- la numérotation des articles est alignée sur celle de la CEI 60364;
- une protection additionnelle est exigée dans certains cas d'appareillages comportant des luminaires;
- les exigences concernant les degrés de protection IP sont renforcées;
- et des exigences particulières pour le sectionnement ont été introduites.

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 60364-7-714 has been prepared by committee 64: Electrical
installations and protection against electric shock.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1996, and constitutes
a technical revision.
The major technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
– clause numbering is aligned with present structure of IEC 60364;
– additional protection is required in some cases of equipment incorporating lighting;
– more stringent requirements regarding IP degree of protection;
– introduction of particular requirements for isolation.

64/1806/FDIS 64/1814/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60364 series, under the general title Low-voltage electrical
installations, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
The requirements of this part of IEC 60364 supplement, modify or replace certain of the
general requirements contained in Parts 1 to 6 of IEC 60364.
The clause numbering appearing after 714 refers to the corresponding parts or clauses of
IEC 60364, Parts 1 to 6. Numbering of clauses does not, therefore, necessarily follow
sequentially. Numbering of figures and tables takes the number of this part followed by a
sequential number.
The absence of reference to a part or clause means that the general requirements contained
in Parts 1 to 6 of IEC 60364 are applicable.
