0.4 General test requirements and verification
0.4.2
Delete the existing fourth paragraph starting with "In accordance with IEC guidelines ."
0.6 List of parts of IEC 60598-2
Add, after the existing Clause 0.6, a new Clause 0.7 as follows:
0.7 Information for luminaire design in light sources standards
0.7.1 In accordance with IEC guidelines, IEC standards are divided into those covering
either safety or performance.
0.7.2 In light source safety standards, “information for luminaire design” is given for the safe
operation of light sources; this shall be regarded as normative when testing luminaires to this
standard.
0.7.3 In light source performance standards, “information for luminaire design” is given for
the correct performance of light sources; this shall be regarded as informative when testing
luminaires to this standard. Testing of light source performance is not required as part of the
type test approval for luminaires.
1.2 Terms and definitions
Add, after 1.2.11, the following new entry:
1.2.11.1
rated constant input voltage
input voltage or voltages assigned by the manufacturer for luminaires not equipped with
controlgear
Note 1 to entry: The rated constant input voltage of the luminaire corresponds to the rated output voltage of the
constant voltage controlgear.
Add, after 1.2.12, the following new entry:
1.2.12.1
rated constant input current
input current or currents assigned by the manufacturer for luminaires not equipped with
controlgear
Note 1 to entry: The rated constant input current of the luminaire corresponds to the rated output current for
constant current controlgear.
Add, after 1.2.43, the following new entries:
1.2.43.1
maximum working peak output voltage

Û
out
maximum repetitive occurring peak working voltage between the output terminals or between
the output terminals and earth, during normal or abnormal operating condition and with
transients neglected

1.2.43.2
ignition voltage
peak voltage applied to ignite a discharge lamp

within 10 ms with the duration time (width) of each pulse being measured at the level of 50 %
of the maximum absolute peak value
Note 1 to entry: Ignition pulse waveforms, which are considered as ignition pulse voltage, should not contain any
dominant frequency above 30 kHz or should be usually highly damped (after 20 μs the peak voltage level should be
less than one half of the maximum peak voltage). For the assessment of the dominant frequency
IEC 60664-4:2005, Annex E should be consulted.
[SOURCE: IEC 61347-1:2015, 3.46.1]
1.2.43.4
equivalent transformed peak voltage
U
p
transformed output peak voltage, which is converted for the worst case peak voltage with its
related frequency into an ignition pulse voltage
Note 1 to entry: The value of the declared equivalent transformed output peak voltage is the essential parameter
for selecting the associated components.
Note 2 to entry: See 1.2.43.3.
[SOURCE: IEC 61347-1:2015, 3.47 , modified – notes 3 and 4 have been deleted.]

Insert, in the second column, between markings 3.2.7 and 3.2.9, the following new marking:
3.2.8.2 Rated input power
3.2.2
Add, at the end of 3.2.2, the following new text:
Where marking is provided in accordance with 3.2.25 or 3.2.26, additional marking of the

or maximum input power according to 3.2.8.1, 3.2.8.2 and 3.2.8.3.
3.2.8.1 Luminaires for tungsten filament lamps shall be marked with the maximum rated
wattage and number of lamps.
Marking of maximum rated wattage for luminaires for tungsten filament lamps with more than
one lampholder may be in the form:
"n × MAX. W", n being the number of lampholders.
3.2.8.2 Luminaires designed for non-replaceable or non-user replaceable light sources shall
be marked with the rated input power of the luminaire.
NOTE The intention of the marking with the rated input power is to give guidance to installers. This standard does
not specify a test for the input power.
3.2.8.3 For all other luminaires, the rated wattage of the lamp or the designation as indicated
on the lamp data sheet of the type or types of lamp for which the luminaire is designed.
Where the lamp wattage alone is insufficient, the number of lamps and the type shall also be
given.
3.2.12
Replace the existing paragraph between NOTE 2 and NOTE 3 with the following new text:
