Final Report Lot 9: Public street lighting - Amper

The specific IP ratings for luminaires and the related specific test methods for defining these
ratings for luminaries are described in standard EN 60598-1.
A complementary performance segmentation can be made, based on the material of the outer
glazing, e.g. glass attracts less dust than synthetic material and has consequently a higher LMF.
The LMF is taken into account in the selection of representative luminaires and consequent
modelling of the performance, impacts and costs (see chapter 4).
1.2 Lighting test standards or guidelines
This section identifies and shortly describes the 'test standards or guidelines' that are related to
the functional unit, resource use (energy, materials, ..), safety and other lighting product
specific standards.
A “test standard or guideline” is defined in the context of this study as a standard or guideline
that sets out a test method, but that does not indicate what result is required when performing
that test. Therefore, strictly speaking, a test standard can be different from a “technical
standard”. Especially 'technical standards' that are a specification against which all others may
be measured are not discussed hereafter(e.g. the measurement of power, luminous flux, ..). In
addition to “official” test standards, there are other sector specific procedures for product
testing that are compiled by industry associations or other stakeholders for specific purposes
included in this chapter. Also ongoing work for the development of new standards or guidelines
is discussed together with recommendations for new ones.
The following references are made to:
• EN, European standard ratified by either CEN (European Committee for Standardization)
or CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization),
• IEC, International Electrotechnical Commission,
• CIE, International Commission on Illumination.
