BS EN 60598-2-24 specifies requirements for luminaires intended for use where the necessity of limited temperature on the outer surface exists, due to the risk of thermal effects, combustion or degradation of materials but where the risk of explosion in the atmosphere does not exist. The luminaires are for use with electric light sources on supply voltages not exceeding 1 000 V.
BS EN 60598-2-24 specifically excludes requirements for luminaires for use in explosive gas atmospheres, and explosive dust atmospheres.
BS EN 60598-2-24 on requirements for luminaires is helpful for:
Luminaires are fixtures which are used to emit light for indoor, and outdoor purposes. These are widely used, domestically, commercially, and in vehicles. It is essential to have access to reliable requirements for manufacturing, installing, and using luminaires. BS EN 60598-2-24 provides manufacturers with the general test requirements, classification of luminaires, marking, construction, and the creepage distances, and clearances which will allow them to prepare, and test luminaires with limited surface temperatures effectively.
BS EN 60598-2-24 contributes to safe, and secure application of luminaires with limited surface temperatures for its users.
