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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 60598-2-14 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires,
of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

14.7 Construction
The provisions of Section 4 of IEC 60598-1 apply together with the following requirements.
14.7.1 All the accessible high voltage connections of the luminous-discharge tubes shall be
protected by means of insulating sleeves made of suitable insulating material.
Replace the requirements of 4.9.2 of Part 1 by the following.
Insulating sleeves shall be made from one of the following:
a) glass having a minimum wall thickness of 1 mm; or
b) silicone rubber, having a breakdown voltage certified by the supplier as not less than twice
the no-load rated output voltage to earth of the control gear supplying the circuit, a wall
thickness of not less than 1 mm and an operating temperature of not less than 180 °C; or
c) material with insulating, resistance to UV radiation and ozone and heat-resistance
characteristics at least equivalent to those specified in b).
NOTE Silicon rubber suitability is checked with all the tests listed in this Part 2.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
14.7.2 The luminaire intended to be installed within the arm’s reach zones shall be provided
with open circuit protection according to 14.4.5 if accessibility of live parts of the secondary
circuit is possible in the event of a tube breakage.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
14.7.3 Earth leakage protections
14.7.3.1 The high voltage circuits supplied by inverters or converters other than type A, for
Class I luminaires, shall be protected by a device sensitive to earth leakage according to
IEC 61347-2-10. The high voltage circuits supplied by transformer, for Class I luminaires,
shall be protected according to 1 4 . 7. 3. 2 and 14.7.3.3. Following an earth leakage which
caused the protective devices operation, they shall remain live until the supply voltage circuit
is removed. If the leakage is still present during the switching on, the protective device shall
operate according to 14 .7 .3 .2 and 14 .7 .3. 3 .
---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST EN 60598-2-14:2009
60598-2-14 © IEC:2009 – 9 –
The performance of the device sensible to earth leakage according to 1 4. 7. 3.4 s h all be
assured.
14.7.3.2 The device shall disconnect the mains supply to the luminaire or otherwise remove
the output power, in case of accidental contact between the high voltage circuit and the earth.
If the switching of a single pole of the supply voltage is provided, such switching shall be
connected to the phase of the supply.
14.7.3.3 The fault condition detection (earth leakage) shall be made by means of suitable
sensors connected to the output circuit, which shall operate means arranged to disconnect the
supply circuit or remove the output power.
NOTE 1 Sensors and contacts of the device may be assembled in a single unit.
NOTE 2 The earth leakage device may be made in a way to protect more than one circuit of the luminaire.
14.7.3.4 The earth leakage protective device shall be as follows:
• If the sensor and/or the protective device which removes the output power is not
placed within the enclosure of the control gear, it shall operate correctly over a
temperature range –25° C to +65° C. In case the device is suitable to operate at
different temperatures, these shall be indicated on the instructions sheet.
• If a part of the sensor and/or contact or the device switching the output power is
installed within the control gear enclosure, such part shall operate correctly in the
temperature range provided within the enclosure. The maximum ambient temperature
of that part of the sensor and/or protective device shall not exceed the maximum
temperature allowed during the tests of 12.4 and 12.5 of IEC 60598-1.
• The rated current to operate the device shall be not more than the nominal secondary
load current of the transformer being protected and shall not exceed 25 mA.
NOTE 1 The effective current flowing through the sensor during earth discharge is determined by the circuit
impedance and by the output characteristics which supply this discharge. It cannot depend on the current flowing in
the protective device.
• The time for the device to remove the output shall be not more than 200 ms.
• The voltage across that part of a sensor which is detecting the earth-leakage current
shall not exceed 50 V.
The earth leakage protective device shall be tested according to the manufacturer’s
instructions concerning such devices. These tests shall assure that the units operate
correctly.
NOTE 2 The standards related to earth leakage protective devices should comply with the regional regulations.
NOTE 3 In the US and Canada, the operating current is equal to the rating of the control gear, if rated less than
15 mA, and must not otherwise exceed 15 mA. The time it takes the device to disable the output high voltage after
the earth leakage has exceeded 15 mA does not exceed 500 ms.
14.7.3.5 If the protective device is designed to disconnect the mains supply in case of earth
leakage, the relevant means shall have mechanical contacts. The use of switching by means
of semiconductors (tyristors, triacs, etc.) is not allowed.
14.7.3.6 If the circuit includes a flasher, any protective switch and its reset circuit shall be
installed on the mains-supply side of the flasher.
NOTE If the protective device and its reset circuit were placed on the load side of the flasher, the protective
switch would keep resetting and re-tripping during fault conditions.
14.7.3.7 If the circuit includes a flasher and the device(s) to remove the output power is
(are) incorporated within the housing of the control gear(s), either a protective switch shall be
connected on the mains-supply side of the flasher and the incorporated sensor circuits shall
