IEC/TC 34 - Lighting
To prepare, review and maintain international standards and related IEC deliverables regarding safety, performance and compatibility specifications for: Electric light sources and components thereof Caps and holders Controlgear and control devices for electric light sources, and electronic lighting equipment Luminaires Lighting systems Miscellaneous equipment related to items (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) Compatibility specifications may include requirements necessary for coexistence, interoperability and interchangeability between components in a lighting system. It is recognized that the border of TC 34 product responsibility, the interfaces and protocols to other products, and committees internal and external to IEC may need to be specified. For lighting systems within building premises, TC 34 is responsible for light sources, luminaires, control gear, dedicated protocols, and certain aspects of dedicated networks. Details of the work on control devices and lighting systems are currently under consideration in SEG 9/WG 5 "Advisory group on lighting systems". For the purpose of the scope, the terms and definitions according to IEC 60050‑845:2020 apply. Terms not provided there but included in TC/SC 34 standards are available in the IEC Glossary.

Cartographier et maintenir la structure de normalisation et préparer, réviser et maintenir les normes internationales et les produits connexes de l’IEC concernant les spécifications de sécurité, de performance et de compatibilité pour : a) les lampes électriques et les sources de lumière électriques b) les culots et les douilles c) Appareils de commande et de contrôle des lampes électriques, des sources de lumière électriques et des équipements d'éclairage électroniques d) Luminaires e) Systèmes d'éclairage f) les équipements divers liés aux points a), b), c), d) et e) Un système d'éclairage est une combinaison de sources de lumière, de luminaires et d'équipements connexes qui interagissent ensemble pour satisfaire aux exigences des applications d'éclairage telles que le confort des personnes, la sécurité, l'environnement et la consommation d'énergie. Le système d'éclairage peut servir à une fonction visuelle ou non visuelle. Le système d'éclairage peut comprendre des composants physiques, la communication entre les composants, des interfaces utilisateur, des logiciels et des réseaux pour assurer des fonctions de contrôle et de surveillance centralisées. Une définition du terme "système d'éclairage" est en cours d'élaboration au sein du WG 14. Les spécifications de compatibilité peuvent inclure les exigences nécessaires à la coexistence, l'interopérabilité et l'interchangeabilité entre les composants d'un système d'éclairage. Il est reconnu que la limite de la responsabilité des produits du TC 34, les interfaces et protocoles avec d'autres produits, et les comités internes et externes à l’IEC peuvent avoir besoin d'être spécifiés. Pour les systèmes d'éclairage dans les bâtiments, le TC 34 est responsable des sources de lumière, des luminaires, des appareils de contrôle, des protocoles dédiés et de certains aspects des réseaux dédiés. Les détails des travaux sur les dispositifs de contrôle et sur les systèmes d'éclairage sont actuellement à l'étude dans SEG 9/WG 5 "Groupe consultatif sur les systèmes d'éclairage".

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
