Re: Luminaires standard for USA/CANADA countries

Mr. Fini,

I am unsure which of the following standards you need, however, here are the
standard that I located searching on fluorescent.  My original search on
luminaires had no matches.

542
Lampholders, Starters, and Starter Holders for Fluorescent
Lamps, seventh edition, 1994
  A

935
Fluorescent-Lamp Ballasts
ninth edition, 1995
G

1570
Fluorescent Lighting Fixtures
fourth edition, 1995
G

8730-2-3
Automatic Electrical Controls for Household and Similar Use;
Part 2: Particular Requirements for Thermal Protectors for
Ballasts for Tubular Fluorescent Lamps
first edition, 1996
   J

I am under the impression that UL 542 is likely superceded by UL 1570, but you
would have to check with UL, since I am not familiar with the particular
standard.  I am under the impression that this is likely the standard you will
need, but I am not sure.

The equivalent incandescent standard is:

1571
Incandescent Lighting Fixtures
fourth edition, 1995
   A

You can perform your own searches of these standards by going to:

http://ulstandardsinfonet.ul.com/catalog/part1std.html

and searching on the text of the standard titles.  If your luminaires are not
fluorescent or incandescent, you may require a different standard.

It appears that Canada has adopted a version of IEC 598 with their new
CAN/CSA-E598-1-98 series of standards.  Information can be found on page 49 of
their electronic product catalog, which you can download at

http://www.csa-international.org/english/product_services/index_catal.htm

While in the English version of their webpage, the catalog is bilingual with
French included in the same document.

Hello Paolo,

Without knowing the type of luminaire you are interested in, I offer the
following for your consideration.

In the USA, Portable Lamps = UL 153 

In Canada, Portable Luminaires = CSA 22.2 No. 12 
ALSO: A whole collection of standards which follow the IEC 598 series (as
denoted by CSA in their '99 catalog). CAN/CSA-E598-1-98 is the base
standard.
