| 7<\/td>\n | Classification of luminaires According to the type of protection against electric shock, lighting chains shall be classified as Class II or Class III. According to the degree of protection against dust and moisture, lighting chains for outdoor use shall be classified as \u201cof rain-proof, splash-proof, jet-proof or watertight construction\u201d. Marking The following information shall be marked on the lampholder or on the cable, or on a durable non-removable sleeve or label fitted to the cable. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
| 8<\/td>\n | The following information shall be marked on the lampholder or on the cable, or on a durable non-removable sleeve or label fitted to the cable. Fused lamps used to ensure compliance with 20.12.3 shall have a suitable means of identification, such as a special colour. Construction Edison screw lampholders E14 and E27 shall meet the requirements of EN 60238:1998. Clause 4.6 of Section 4 of IEC 598-1 referring to terminal block does not apply. Clause 4.7 of Section 4 of IEC 598-1 referring to terminals and supply connections applies together with the following requirement. Only 4.11.4 and 4.11.5 of Clause 4.11 of Section 4 of IEC 598-1, referring to electrical connections and current-carrying parts, apply. Gaskets used to provide the specified degree of protection against dust and moisture of lighting chains for outdoor use shall be… Compliance with the mechanical strength requirements of 4.13 of EN 60598-1 for E14 and E27 lampholders incorporated in lighting chains shall be checked by the tests given in Clause 15 of EN 60238:1998. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
| 9<\/td>\n | E5 and E10 lampholders and similar small lampholders of the push-in type shall be used only if the rated voltage of each lamp does not exceed: For lighting chains fitted with series-connected lamps, resistors, if any, for bridging the lamp filaments shall be contained within the lamps. The protection against electric #shock$ and fire shall not be impaired when these resistors are functioning. Flasher units forming an integral part of the lighting chain, shall be enclosed in non-flammable insulating material; they shall be securely fixed to the cable of the chain. No requirement. Lampholders for replaceable push-in lamps shall have a body of insulating material. #The lamp (bulb) glass of push-in lamps shall not rotate in relation to the lamp cap and the lamp cap shall not rotate in relation to the lampholder. #Replaceable push-in type lamps shall remain in the seated position when the lamp is subjected to a pull force of up to 3 N. Rep… Sealed lighting chains shall have adequate mechanical strength. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
| 10<\/td>\n | The lamp bulbs in lighting chains fitted with parallel-connected non-standardized or non-removable lamps shall meet the mechanical requirements of Clause 4.13.1 of IEC 60598-1 using an impact energy of 0,2 Nm. Any electronic control device (e.g. flasher units) shall, in addition to the requirements of this standard, comply with the requirements of IEC 61347-2-11.

| 11<\/td>\n | External and internal wiring cSubclause 5.2.2 of EN 60598-1 does not apply. Internal and external cables of lighting chains, sealed chains and external cables of sealed chains shall not be lighter than the following: For lighting chains incorporating a single-core cable, the test described in 5.2.10.1 of Section 5 of IEC 598-1 is made in the following way. Plugs of lighting chains shall meet the requirements of IEC 83. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
| 12<\/td>\n | Protection against electric shock For lighting chains with means for retaining lamps other than E10 or larger lampholders, the protection against electric shock shall be at least equivalent to that required for lighting chains provided with E10 lampholders. Lighting chains shall not electrify tinsel or other metallic decorations with which they are used. Lampholder contact shall be reliably secured in the lampholder body by means other than friction to avoid such a displacement of… Endurance tests and thermal tests The requirements of item d) of 12.3.1 and item d) of 12.4.1 of Section 12 of IEC 598-1 are replaced by the following. The requirements of item e) of 12.3.1 and item g) of 12.4.1 of Section 12 of IEC 598-1 apply except that lamps for sealed chains are not replaced. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
| 13<\/td>\n | The operation of devices for bridging the lamp filament, where fitted in accordance with 20.6.8, shall not cause any part of the lighting chain to attain a temperature which would impair safety.
