Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 5/Sec 2) (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Illumination Engineering and Luminaires Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Electrotechnical Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1985. This revision has been undertaken primarily to align the existing
standard with latest International Standard.
This standard covers the requirements of Recessed Luminaires. This standard covers the safety and photometric
requirements.
This standard is one among the series of Indian Standards which deals with luminaires. This series consists of the
following Parts and Sections:
Part 1 General requirements
Part 5 Particular requirements
Section 1 Fixed general purpose luminaires
Section 3 Luminaires for road and street lighting
Section 4 Portable general purpose luminaires
Section 5 Flood lights
Section 6 Handlamps
Section 7 Lighting chains
Section 8 Luminaires for emergency lighting
Annex A is for information only.
This standard is to be read in conjunction with IS 10322 (Part 1) : 2010 ‘Luminaires : Part 1 General requirements’.
For the sake of convenience, the clauses of this standard correspond to those of IS 10322 (Part 1), instead of
reproducing full text of each clause; reference to relevant clauses of IS 10322 (Part 1) has been given.
This standard is based on IEC 60598-2-2 : 1997 ‘Luminaires — Part 2: Particular requirements, Section 2 Recessed
luminaires’ issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) except for the following deviations:
Photometric requirements have been incorporated.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules
for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value
should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

Review of Indian Standards

Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also reviewed
periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that no changes are
needed; if the review indicates that changes are needed, it is taken up for revision. Users of Indian Standards
should ascertain that they are in possession of the latest amendments or edition by referring to the latest issue of
