Specifies minimum safety requirements for lighting chains fitted with series/parallel or combination of series parallel incandescent lamps for indoor and outdoor use on supply voltage up to 250 volt. This document is reproduced from IEC 60598-2-20:1998 and is varied to suit Australian/New Zealand conditions. This document includes IEC draft amendment 2:2000.

This section of IEC 60598-2 AS/NZS 60598.2 specifies requirements for lighting chains fitted with series or parallel or a combination of series/parallel connected incandescent lamps for use either indoors or outdoors on supply voltages not exceeding 250 V.NOTE 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 push-in type, the appropriate requirements of this section 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 part of the lighting chain and consequently included in the testing (and thereby in the test certificate, if any).
