31、r indoors or outdoors on supply voltages not exceeding 250 V. For combinations where rope lights (also known as sealed lighting chains) are included, see IEC 60598-2-21. Lighting chains provided with fixed or detachable attachments e.g. ornamental or decorative, are considered to be covered by this
32、standard. For lighting chains fitted with lampholders of the push-in type, the appropriate requirements of this standard applies. NOTE 1 A Christmas tree lighting chain is an example of a lighting chain fitted with series or series/parallel connected lamps. A chain for illuminating ski-tracks or pro
33、menades is an example of a lighting chain fitted with parallel connected lamps. 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. NOTE 2 For products where the lighting cha
34、in is permanently fixed to a frame or pre-lit Christmas tree the relevant clauses of IEC 60598-2-4 and/or IEC 60598-2-7 can also apply. NOTE 3 In some countries the term “strings“ is used instead of “chains“. NOTE 4 Candlestick luminaries are tested according to IEC 60598-2-4. 20.2 Normative referen

41、 lamps (e.g. lamps of the push-in type) the lamps are regarded as part of the chain. Note 2 to entry: For lighting chains with non-removable lamps, the lamps are regarded as part of the chain. Note 3 to entry: A lighting chain may incorporate control devices (e.g. flasher units, see 20.7.8). Note 4
42、to entry: Unless otherwise stated, references to lamps within this standard also refer to LEDs. 20.3.2 rope light sealed lighting chain lighting chain with non-replaceable light sources enclosed in a rigid or flexible insulating translucent pipe or tube, sealed at the ends, with or without joints No
43、te 1 to entry: Covered by IEC 60598-2-21. 20.4 General test requirements The provisions of Section 0 of IEC 60598-1 apply.

Where the information is on the cable, it shall be marked on a durable non-removable sleeve or label. 20.6.3 Lighting chain and packing marking The follow
47、ing marking shall be placed on the lighting chain and on the accompanying packing of lighting chains for indoor use only. “FOR INDOOR USE ONLY”. As an alternative to the text, the lighting chain can be marked with the symbol SOURCE: IEC 60417-5957 (2004-12). The symbol shall be explained in the inst
48、ructions. NOTE In some countries (UK and Australia) national requirements are such that a plug must be fitted to a portable appliance. In situations where this plug does not provide the same ingress protection of the lighting chain information concerning the location of the plug/transformer may be g
