UK 559.5.1 In the UK one of the following is also acceptable.
a) A ceiling rose to BS67
b) A luminaire supporting coupler to BS6972 or BS7001
c) A batten lamp holder or a pendant set to BS EN 60598
d) A luminaire to BS EN 60598
e) A suitable socket-outlet to BS 1363-2, BS546 or BS EN 60309-2
f) A plug-in lighting distribution unit to BS5733
g) A connection unit to BS 1363-4
h) Appropriate terminals enclosed in a box complying with BS 4662
DK 559.5.1 In Denmark, a luminaire supporting plug and socket-outlet system in accordance with
Information sheet, Electrical equipment no. 16/09 (Meddelelse el-materiel nr. 16/09) is
used.
DK 559.5.3 In Denmark if no information is given in the luminaire manufacturer’s information sheet
regarding the current carrying value of the through wiring in the luminaire depending of
the installation method, the biggest fuse allowed up-stream in the installation is 10A,
2
which on the safe side corresponds to the current carrying capacity for a 1,5 mm Cu
conductor
DK 559.5.3 In Denmark the third paragraph is replaced by the following requirement:
Cables for through wiring in luminaires prepared for through wiring but not delivered by
the manufacturer, shall be selected in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction
sheet.
NOTE In accordance to EN 60598-1 if special cables or sleeves, e.g. due to high temperatures,
are necessary, the through wiring shall always be factory assembled.
