22、 of the test specification add “E5 and” before “E10”. 15.9 Replace the 2ndparagraph of the test by: The backplate of lampholders shall be fixed by means of screws to a rigid flat steel sheet as follows: - 3 mm screws for lampholders E10; - 4 mm for lampholders other than E10. This sheet shall have t
23、wo drilled and tapped holes at a distance equal to the distance between the axes of the fixing holes of the backplate. The screws shall be gradually tightened, the maximum torque applied being - 0,5 Nm for 3 mm screws, and - 1,2 Nm for 4 mm screws. These requirements do not apply to lampholders E5.

NO
28、TE 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 pus
29、h-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 conseq

37、 regarded as part of the chain. NOTE 2 For lighting chains with non-removable lamps, the lamps are regarded as part of the chain. NOTE 3 A lighting chain may incorporate control devices (e.g. flasher units, see 20.7.16). 20.4.2 sealed chain a lighting chain enclosed in a rigid or flexible insulating
38、 translucent pipe or tube, sealed at the ends and having no joints 20.5 Classification of luminaires Luminaires shall be classified in accordance with the provisions of section 2 of IEC 60598-1 together with the requirements of 20.5.1 and 20.5.2. NOTE As lighting chains are mandatorily required to b

43、 immediately by lamps of the same rated voltage and wattage to prevent overheating; this requirement does not apply to sealed chains; 3) do not connect the chain to the supply while it is in the packing unless the packing has been adapted for display purposes; 4) for series-connected lamps where fus
44、ed lamps are used to ensure compliance with 20.13.3 hereafter, do not replace a fused lamp with a non-fused lamp see item e). 5) ensure all lampholders are fitted with a lamp. c) Ordinary lighting chains shall additionally be accompanied by the substance of the following information: “FOR INDOOR USE
