Main DocumentGOST 60598-2-22

According to this GOST, flammability tests of plastic for housing parts are conducted at a temperature of 850 °C.

80°c

Testing ensures reliable operation of emergency equipment in extreme situations, guaranteeing safety during evacuation of people.

22.17.1 Switching
to emergency mode

According to this GOST, flammability tests of plastic for housing parts are conducted at a temperature of 850 °C.

22.17.1 Switching from normal to emergency mode must occur when the supply voltage is not less than 0.5 of the rated value.

Switching must not occur when the supply voltage is more than 0.85 of the minimum rated value.

22.16.5 Switching
to emergency mode

22.16.5 Safety signals of luminaires for interior lighting must meet the following requirements in emergency mode:

1. Color must comply with ISO 3864 requirements.

In an emergency, every second counts – a timely seen evacuation sign can save people's lives.

2. Brightness of any surface of a safety color signal must be not less than 2 cd/m² in all observation directions.

22.18 Operation under
elevated temperature conditions

Luminaires must operate satisfactorily in emergency mode at an ambient temperature of 70 °C, providing at least half of the rated operating duration.

Next point inGOST 60598-2-22

22.6.13 Operation of autonomous luminaire in emergency mode must not be disrupted by short circuit

As well as by ground fault or break in the normal lighting supply network.

22.12.7. Luminaire must function normally during testing

Testing is performed by simulating supply network faults during emergency mode testing.

Other important points fromGOST 60598-2-22

22.6.8 Autonomous luminaires must have batteries meeting the requirements of Appendix A

and designed for at least 4 years of normal operation.

22.6.7 Autonomous luminaires must have a built-in or adjacent device for charging the battery from the normal lighting supply network

As well as an indicator, clearly visible during operation — for example, a lamp that shows that:

1) the battery is in charging mode;

2) the electrical circuit through the filament of the incandescent lamp (if used) of emergency lighting is closed.

IEK Emergency Luminaires comply withGOST 60598-2-22

In modern IEK emergency luminaires and BAP, regulatory requirements are met through the use of electronics and special drivers for emergency mode, and modern LEDs provide the required brightness.
