29、IRES Part 2-20: Particular requirements Lighting chains 20.1 Scope This part of IEC 60598 specifies requirements for lighting chains fitted with series, parallel or a combination of series/parallel connected light sources for use either indoors or outdoors on supply voltages not exceeding 250 V. For
30、 combinations where rope lights (also known as sealed lighting chains) are included, see IEC 60598-2-21. Lighting chains provided with fixed or detachable attachments e.g. ornamental or decorative, are considered to be covered by this standard. For lighting chains fitted with lampholders of the push
31、-in type, the appropriate requirements of this standard applies. NOTE 1 A Christmas tree lighting chain is an example of a lighting chain fitted with series or series/parallel connected lamps. A chain for illuminating ski-tracks or promenades is an example of a lighting chain fitted with parallel co
32、nnected lamps. For lighting chains with non-standardised lamps (e.g. lamps of the push-in type) the lamps are regarded as a part of the lighting chain and consequently included in the testing. NOTE 2 For products where the lighting chain is permanently fixed to a frame or pre-lit Christmas tree the
33、relevant clauses of IEC 60598-2-4 and/or IEC 60598-2-7 can also apply. NOTE 3 In some countries the term “strings“ is used instead of “chains“. NOTE 4 Candlestick luminaries are tested according to IEC 60598-2-4. 20.2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively
34、 referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

39、 lighting chain luminaire comprising an assembly of series-connected lamps, parallel-connected lamps or series/parallel-connected lamps and interconnecting insulated conductors Note 1 to entry: For lighting chains with non-standardised lamps (e.g. lamps of the push-in type) the lamps are regarded as
40、 part of the chain. Note 2 to entry: For lighting chains with non-removable lamps, the lamps are regarded as part of the chain. Note 3 to entry: A lighting chain may incorporate control devices (e.g. flasher units, see 20.7.8). Note 4 to entry: Unless otherwise stated, references to lamps within thi
41、s standard also refer to LEDs. 20.3.2 rope light sealed lighting chain lighting chain with non-replaceable light sources enclosed in a rigid or flexible insulating translucent pipe or tube, sealed at the ends, with or without joints Note 1 to entry: Covered by IEC 60598-2-21. 20.4 General test requi
42、rements The provisions of Section 0 of IEC 60598-1 apply. The tests described in each appropriate section of IEC 60598-1 shall be carried out in the order listed in this part of IEC 60598. 20.5 Classification of luminaires 20.5.1 General Lighting chains shall be classified in accordance with the pro
43、visions of Section 2 of IEC 60598-1 together with the requirements of 20.5.2 and 20.5.3. 20.5.2 Protection against electric shock Lighting chains shall be classified as Class II or Class III.

44、ure Lighting chains for outdoor use shall have a protective index IP 44 or higher. 20.6 Marking 20.6.1 General The provisions of Section 3 of IEC 60598-1 apply together with the requirements of 20.6.2 to 20.6.4. 20.6.2 Lighting chain marking The following information shall be marked on the lighting
45、chain: rated voltage of the complete chain; rated wattage of the complete chain. Where the information is on the cable, it shall be marked on a durable non-removable sleeve or label. 20.6.3 Lighting chain and packing marking The following marking shall be placed on the lighting chain and on the acco
46、mpanying packing of lighting chains for indoor use only. “FOR INDOOR USE ONLY”. As an alternative to the text, the lighting chain can be marked with the symbol SOURCE: IEC 60417-5957 (2004-12). The symbol shall be explained in the instructions. NOTE In some countries (UK and Australia) national requ
47、irements are such that a plug must be fitted to a portable appliance. In situations where this plug does not provide the same ingress protection of the lighting chain information concerning the location of the plug/transformer may be given e.g. “Plug/transformer for indoor use only“. 20.6.4 Packing
48、or instruction marking The following or similar marking shall be placed on the accompanying packing or instructions. a) For all lighting chains where the packing has not been adapted for display purposes: “Do not connect the chain to the supply while it is in the packing”. b) For lighting chains wit
