Group: I need information on what standard covers an independent lamp control device. This product is used in a commercial environment, has a data interface to a computer and is used to turn fluorescent light fixtures on and off (not dim). It is self-contained in its own enclosure and uses electro-mechanical relays to provide mains power to a series of lights.
It was suggested by another forum subscriber that we look at EN60598-1 "Luminaries". Unfortunately, in order to look at an EN standard, one generally has to purchase them and they are not inexpensive. To make a long story short, EN60598 only covers the light fixture itself, not the device that is used to turn it on and off. After reviewing all of the standards covered under the LVD in the OJEC, nothing jumps out and says "here I am". The only standard I could find that might be applicable: EN60669-2-2:1997 - Switches for household and similar fixed installations. Section 2: Electromagnetic remote-control switches. Can anyone say yes, you're right, or no, you're out in left field? Any help is greatly appreciated.
