ENIEC60598-1:2021/A11: The 2022 lighting standards will be released and enforced on February 16, 2025. The main updates include deleting some notes, reducing the voltage for withstand voltage testing, changing material standards, and adding special national conditions and A-deviations attachments.
On April 8, 2022, EN IEC 60598-1:2021/A11:2022 "Luminaires - Part 1: General requirements and tests" was officially released. This standard specifies the general requirements for lamps using electric light sources with a power supply voltage not exceeding 1000 V, covering requirements and related tests such as classification, labeling, mechanical structure, electrical structure, and photobiological safety.
Standard execution timeline:
On February 16, 2023, EN IEC 60598-1:2021/A11: Formally implemented in 2022;
On February 16, 2025, EN IEC 60598-1:2021/A11: Mandatory implementation in 2022!
