This part of IEC 60598 specifies requirements for lighting chains fitted with series- or parallel- or a combination of series/parallel-connected incandescent lamps for use either indoors or outdoors on supply voltages not exceeding 250 V.
NOTE 1 A Christmas tree 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 connected lamps.
NOTE 2 For lighting chains fitted with lampholders of the push-in type, the appropriate requirements of this part of IEC 60598 apply.
NOTE 3 In some countries, the term “strings” is used instead of “chains”.
NOTE 4 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 (and thereby in the certificate, if any).
