Overview
EN 60570:2003 - Electrical supply track systems for luminaires is a CLC/CENELEC harmonized standard (based on IEC 60570:2003, modified) that defines safety and performance requirements for electrical track systems used to distribute power to luminaires in ordinary interior environments. The standard applies to track systems with two or more poles and provision for earthing (Class 1), with a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V between poles, rated frequency not exceeding 60 Hz, and rated current not exceeding 16 A per conductor.
Key topics and requirements
EN 60570 addresses the essential aspects of track system safety, conformity and practical use, including:
- Scope and ratings - applicability to Class 1 track systems for ordinary interior use; maximum rated voltage (≤ 440 V), frequency (≤ 60 Hz) and current (≤ 16 A per conductor).
- Electrical safety - requirements for earthing/grounding (Class 1), conductor connectivity and safe live conductor segregation.
- Mechanical design and compatibility - dimensional and mechanical interface considerations to ensure safe, interchangeable connection of luminaires and track accessories.
- Marking and instructions - mandatory product identification, ratings and installation/operation instructions; safety instructions must be in a language acceptable in the country of installation (common modification).
- Referenced tests and symbols - cross-references to related IEC/EN publications (for example EN 60598-1 for luminaires and EN 61032 for probe tests) and use of standard graphical symbols (EN 60417 series).
- Normative annexes - Annex ZA is normative (CENELEC-required) and links the European standard to international normative references.
(EN 60570 is to be used in conjunction with EN 60598-1.)
Applications
This standard is directly relevant to the specification, design, manufacture, testing and installation of track lighting systems in interior spaces such as:
- Retail and showroom lighting
- Office and commercial interiors
- Galleries, museums and exhibition spaces
- Hospitality and restaurant lighting
Using EN 60570 helps ensure track systems meet recognized safety and interoperability expectations for luminaires, reducing electrical and mechanical hazards and aiding product acceptance across European markets.
Who should use this standard
- Manufacturers of track systems, conductors and track-mounted luminaires
- Lighting designers and specifiers selecting track solutions for projects
- Electrical contractors and installers responsible for safe installation and commissioning
- Test laboratories and certification bodies conducting compliance and safety testing
- Regulators and procurement teams referencing harmonized standards for compliance
Related standards
- EN 60598-1 (Luminaires - General requirements and tests) - intended to be used alongside EN 60570.
- EN 60417 (Graphical symbols) and EN 61032 (probe tests) are cited normative references incorporated by the standard.
