National foreword

This Section of BS 4533 has been prepared under the direction of the Electrical
Illumination Standards Policy Committee and is the English language version
of EN 60598-2-9 “Luminaires — Part 2: Particular requirements
Section 9: Photo and film luminaires (non-professional)” including
amendment A1, published by the European Committee for Electrotechnical
Standardization (CENELEC). It was adopted by that organization from
IEC Publication 598-2-9:1987 edition 2 and Amendment No. 1 (1993), which is
identical with the European Standard. This Section of BS 4533 supersedes
BS 4533-102.9:1981, which is withdrawn.
The foreword and preface of IEC Publication 598-2-9:1987 edition 2, which do not
form part of the text of EN 60598-2-9, have been quoted in a national appendix,
Annexes designated “normative” are part of the body of the standard. Annexes
designated “informative” are given for information only. National appendices are
designated “informative”.
In 9.1, 9.2, 9.12 and 9.13 where the words “section of Part 2 of
IEC Publication 598”, “section of Part 2” and “section of Publication 598-2”
appear they should be read as “section of BS 5433”. In 9.1 and 9.2 where “Part 1”
appears this should be read as “Part 101”. Where the words “Publication 598-1”
appear they should be read as “BS 4533-101”.
Cross-references. Details of other international publications quoted in this
standard are given in Annex ZA. Where there are British Standards
corresponding to these International Standards the relationship is given in
National appendix NB.
Product certification. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider
the desirability of third party certification of product conformity with this British
Standard based on testing and continuing surveillance, which may be coupled
with assessment of a supplier’s quality systems against the appropriate Part
of BS 5750.
Enquiries as to the availability of third party certification schemes will be
forwarded by BSI to the Association of Certification Bodies. If a third party
certification scheme does not already exist, users should consider approaching an
appropriate body from the list of Association members.
The foreword of the EN amendment A1 makes reference to the “date of
withdrawal (dow) of conflicting national standards” as “1995-04-01”. In this case
the relevant national standard is BS 4533-102.9 but the “dow” relates only to
those parts of the British Standard subject to Amendment No. 1. Certificates and
--`,,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
marks will not be awarded after this date with respect to the British Standard not
incorporating Amendment No. 1. They will be awarded with respect only to the
amended British Standard. However, such certificates and marks already
awarded with respect to the British Standard not incorporating
Amendment No. 1 may continue to apply for production until 2000-04-01.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

Luminaires with an IP classification greater
than IP20 shall be subjected to the relevant tests
of Clauses 12.4, 12.5, and 12.6 of Section 12 of
Publication 598-1 after the test(s) of Clause 9.2 but
before the test(s) of Clause 9.3 of Section 9 of
Publication 598-1 as specified in Clause 9.13 of this
Section of Publication 598-2.
9.12.1 Endurance test
The luminaire is freely placed as in normal use, the
handle, if any, being positioned as for normal use or
the fixing device being attached to the stand or
camera in the normal way, and “barn-doors”, if
provided, being opened.
Luminaires are tested in that position of normal use
which produces the most unfavourable thermal
conditions; for example, luminaires provided with
adjustable reflectors are arranged so that the axis of
the reflector is adjusted as nearly parallel with the
axis of the light beam as possible. The luminaire is
then positioned so that the beam is directed at an
angle of 45° below horizontal.
For luminaires not suitable for continuous
operation, the operating time is as indicated by the
marking but with a minimum of 5 min.
9.12.2 The procedure for the endurance test
described in Sub-clause 12.3.1 of Section 12 of
Publication 598-1 is modified in the following way:
The luminaire is mounted as described in
Sub-clause 9.12.1 in the draught-proof enclosure
and is operated at rated voltage of the lamp during
the operating time.
For luminaires not suitable for continuous
operation, the test is made with an operating time
as described in Sub-clause 9.12.1, followed by a
resting time as indicated by the marking or of the
same duration as the operating time. This
procedure is continued until 60 min have elapsed,
after which the luminaire is allowed to cool for a
period of 15 min. This test cycle is then repeated
until a total operating time of 50 h has elapsed.

For luminaires suitable for continuous operation,
the test is made with an operating time of 60 min,
after which the luminaire is allowed to cool for a
period of 15 min. This test cycle is then repeated
until a total operating time of 50 h has elapsed.
NOTE “Operating time” denotes the time during which the
luminaire is switched on.
9.12.3 After the test of Sub-clause 9.12.2,
compliance shall be checked according to the
requirements of Sub-clause 12.3.2 of Section 12 of
Publication 598-1 together with the following
requirement:
Within 5 s of the end of the last cycle of operation,
the luminaire is disconnected from the supply and
placed on a mounting surface as used in the test
described in Sub-clause 12.4.1 of Section 12 of
Publication 598-1 in a position that produces the
highest temperature on the mounting surface.
The temperature of the supporting surface shall not
exceed 175 °C.
9.12.4 Thermal test (normal operation)
The procedure for the thermal test described in
Sub-clause 12.4.1 of Section 12 of Publication 598-1
is modified in the following way:
a) The luminaire is mounted as described in
Sub-clause 9.12.1, in the draught-proof
enclosure.
b) For luminaires with marking of rated
maximum operating time, the thermal test is
carried out with an operating time as indicated by
the marking, but with a minimum of 5 min,
followed by a resting time as indicated by the
marking or of the same duration as the operating
time.
Temperatures are measured after a total operating
time of at least 10 min has elapsed. If however, this
time coincides with an operating time the
measurements are made at the end of this time.

For luminaires for continuous operation, the test is
carried out until thermal stability is reached. The
measurements are then taken.
The maximum bulb wall temperature of
low-pressure tungsten halogen lamps determined as
detailed in Appendix B, shall not exceed 950 °C.
NOTE This temperature limit is intended to ensure that the
working gas pressure in the lamp does not exceed 105 Pa (1 bar).
9.12.5 After the test of Sub-clause 9.12.4,
compliance shall be checked according to the
requirements of Sub-clause 12.4.2 of Section 12 of
Publication 598-1 but with the following
modification:
For luminaires with marking of rated maximum
operating time the specified maximum
temperatures do not apply to parts which are not
damaged by the endurance test. These
temperatures shall not be exceeded however by
materials used for the insulation of lampholders,
insulation of cables and cords, and materials used
for the construction of handles.
9.13 Resistance to dust and moisture
The provisions of Section 9 of Publication 598-1
apply.
For luminaires with an IP classification greater
than IP20 the order of the tests specified in
Section 9 of Publication 598-1 shall be as specified
in Clause 9.12 of this Section of Publication 598-2.
9.14 Insulation resistance and electric

Appendix A Requirements relating to
the construction of the screen
A.1 Protective glass screen
The protective glass screen shall withstand the
--`,,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
impact from a shattering lamp.
Compliance shall be checked by operating the
luminaire at rated voltage of the lamp, in a position
of normal use for 30 s, and then causing the lamp to
shatter, for example, by abruptly increasing the
voltage applied to the lamp by about 30 %.
After the shattering of the lamp, the screen shall
show no damage. This test is repeated and, after the
shattering of the second lamp, the screen may be
cracked but no high velocity particles shall escape.
A.2 Openings in luminaire
All openings in the luminaire shall be such that no
part of a shattered lamp can leave the luminaire by
a direct path.
A.3 Luminaire marking requirements
Luminaires shall be marked to the following effect:
“If the protective screen cracks, it must be replaced
before re-use of the equipment.”

Appendix B Guide for determination
of maximum bulb wall temperature of
low-pressure tungsten halogen lamps
The maximum bulb wall temperature of
low-pressure tungsten halogen lamps specified in
Sub-clause 9.12.4 is most conveniently determined
by means of an infra-red temperature measuring
instrument.
Alternatively, the bulb wall temperature can be
measured by means of thermocouples.
It is preferable to use more than one thermocouple
fixed in the middle of the bulb. Cement should not
be used to fix the thermocouple to the bulb wall
since the cement absorbs much heat by radiation.
Some form of glass support is therefore
recommended for holding the thermocouple in
position.
As the thermocouple itself will absorb a certain
amount of heat by radiation, it should be connected
to an automatic temperature chart recorder. After
temperature stabilization has been obtained, the
lamp is switched off. The temperature will then at
first fall quickly but after about 0.5 s the rate of fall
of temperature will become steady. This steady
portion of the temperature/time curve is used to
calculate the true bulb wall temperature at the time
of switching-off.

Foreword of IEC Publication 598-2 (1987) edition 2
1) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by Technical
Committees on which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented,
express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
2) They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
3) In order to promote international unification, the IEC expresses the wish that all National
--`,,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

Committees should adopt the text of the IEC recommendation for their national rules in so far as
national conditions will permit. Any divergence between the IEC recommendation and the
corresponding national rules should, as far as possible, be clearly indicated in the latter.
