Emergency lighting luminaires
Luminaires marked AC / DC in the tables can be operated with alternating or direct current.
The suitability of these luminaires for integration in emergency lighting luminaires must be examined by BEGA.
You can find emergency lighting luminaires in accordance with EN 60598-2-22 on Pages 124 to 125.
The familiar German F marking on luminaires was no longer necessary after
the validity of the standard that preceded EN 60598 (VDE 0711): 2009-09 had
come to an end (or with the end of the transitional period) on 12th April 2012.
The luminaires in this catalogue are designed and manufactured on the basis of the EN 60598/VDE 0711 regulations. The majority of the
luminaires bear the corresponding test symbol r on the type plate, packaging and instructions for use. The remaining luminaires have
been or are being prepared for testing but the certification and approval procedure has not yet been completed. Please feel free to contact
us at any time for news about the current state of the approvals.
Custom-made products are manufactured on the basis of the above mentioned standard.
All luminaires are subject to continuous production monitoring and quality inspection.
Electrical safety
The ENEC symbol (European Norms Electrical Certification) is a European test
and certification symbol for luminaires and electrical components in luminaires.
The number 10 with or without the VDE symbol signifies that the test/certification
symbol was awarded by the VDE Institute for Testing and Certification.
Luminaires bearing this symbol are suitable for business premises where dust
or fibrous material present a fire hazard due to their limited surface temperatures
(VDE 0711 Part 224).
The CE symbol is affixed at the manufacturers responsibility and is not a safety
symbol. The manufacturer uses it to document conformity with European Union
directives.
The symbol ta = ... °C in accordance with EN 60598 (VDE 0711) indicates
the permissible ambient temperature at which a luminaire may be operated.
Our luminaires are generally designed for an ambient temperature ta = 25 °C,
i.e. for indoor use.
The number alongside the CE symbol indicates that an inspection and
certification body checks compliance with the guidelines.
Safety symbols
Surface-mounted luminaires with this symbol are not suitable for direct
installation on normally flammable building materials.
Recessed luminaires with this symbol are not suitable for direct installation
in normally flammable building materials.
Luminaires bearing this symbol must not be in direct contact with thermal
insulating materials.
