Safety and protection of luminaires
Approvals and standards
Luminaires sold in the market are expected to comply with the
appropriate safety requirements as laid down in the European series
of standards EN 60598 prepared by CENELEC, the European
Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation, and which are almost
fully harmonized with the worldwide series of standards IEC 60598.
European standards are accepted as the national standards and
published as such.
Since the issuing of the Low Voltage Directive the availability of the
appropriate safety standards has improved the overall quality of our
luminaires. The European testing institutes, in cooperation with the
European Luminaire Industry, introduced the ENEC mark in January
1993.
All luminaires supplied by Philips comply with the ENEC criteria and
many indeed carry the ENEC mark to show the involvement of
objective third parties. The CE mark, which is a condition for the free
circulation on the entire European market of products that are safe,
for example, is the way our organization demonstrates its compliance
with the relevant European legislation.
