Foreword
The text of document 34D/1090/FDIS, future edition 3 of IEC 60598-2-8, prepared by SC 34D,
"Luminaires", of IEC TC 34, "Lamps and related equipment", was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel
vote and approved by CENELEC as EN 60598-2-8:2013.
The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2014-03-03
• latest date by which the document has
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national (dow) 2016-06-03

standards conflicting with the
document have to be withdrawn

This document supersedes EN 60598-2-8:1997 + A1:2000 + A2:2008.
EN 60598-2-8:2013 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
EN 60598-2-8:1997 + A1:2000 + A2:2008:

a) The requirements have been updated to make them consistent and to solve contradicting requirements
introduced in the Amendment 2. In that amendment, a requirement was introduced specifying that
handlamp shall always be classified as rough service luminaire only. The implication of this statement
was that according to 4.13.4 of Part 1 this kind of luminaire shall always be IP54.This requirements is in
contradiction with several points of this Part 2 where it is considered acceptable for ordinary luminaires
(e.g. 8.11.1, 8.11.2 and 8.13.1).

b) Furthermore, the contradiction between the requirement in 8.7.1 and 8.7.2 regarding the
type of material used for the protective cover has been corrected.

This standard is intended to be read in conjunction with EN 60598-1: Luminaires – Part 1: General
requirements and tests.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.

This standard covers the Principle Elements of the Safety Objectives for Electrical Equipment Designed
for Use within Certain Voltage Limits (LVD - 2006/95/EC).

Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60598-2-8:2013 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.

Part 2-8: Particular requirements –
Handlamps

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 60598-2-8 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires,
of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 1996, its
Amendment 1 (2000) and its Amendment 2 (2007). It constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition.
a) The requirements have been updated to make them consistent and to solve contradicting
requirements introduced in the Amendment 2. In that amendment, a requirement was
introduced specifying that handlamp shall always be classified as rough service luminaire
only. The implication of this statement was that according to 4.13.4 of Part 1 this kind of
luminaire shall always be IP54.This requirements is in contradiction with several points of
this Part 2 where it is considered acceptable for ordinary luminaires (e.g. 8.11.1, 8.11.2
and 8.13.1).

b) Furthermore, the contradiction between the requirement in 8.7.1 and 8.7.2 regarding the
type of material used for the protective cover has been corrected.
This standard is intended to be read in conjunction with IEC 60598-1 Luminaires – Part 1:
General requirements and tests. It was established on the basis of the seventh edition (2008)
of that standard.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34D/1090/FDIS 34D/1097/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60598 series, published under the general title Luminaires, can be
found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
