5 The clause numbering appearing after 714 refers to the corresponding parts or clauses of IEC
6 60364, Parts 1 to 6. Numbering of clauses does not, therefore, necessarily follow sequentially.
7 Numbering of figures and tables takes the number of this part followed by a sequential number.

8 The absence of reference to a part or clause means that the general requirements contained in
9 Parts 1 to 6 of IEC 60364 are applicable.

12 External lighting installations

13 714 External lighting installations

14 714.1 Scope

15 The particular requirements of this part of IEC 60364 apply to the selection and erection of
16 luminaires and lighting installations forming part of an outdoor fixed installation.

17 The origin of the external lighting installation is the supply delivery point of electrical energy by
18 the supply authority or the origin of the circuit supplying the external lighting installation
19 exclusively.

20 The requirements apply to, for example, lighting installations for roads, parks, gardens, places
21 open to the public, sporting areas, illumination of monuments, floodlighting, telephone kiosks,
22 bus shelters, advertising panels, town plans, road signs.

23 The requirements do not apply to:

24 - public street-lighting installations which are part of the public power grid;
25 - temporary festoon lighting;
26 - road traffic signal systems;
27 - luminaires which are fixed to the outside of a building and are supplied directly from the
28 internal wiring of that building.

29 For lighting installations for swimming pools and fountains, see IEC 60364-7-702.

30 714.2 Normative references

31 The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,
32 constitute provisions of this section of IEC 60364. At the time of publication, the editions

65 location where only skilled or instructed persons may obtain access.

66 Doors giving access to electrical equipment and located less than 2,50 m above ground level
67 shall be locked with a key or a tool. In addition, protection against contact with live parts shall be
68 provided when the door is open either by the use of equipment having at least the degree of
69 protection IP2X or IPXXB by construction or by installation, or by placing a barrier or an
70 enclosure giving the same degree of protection.

71 For luminaires at height less than 2,80 m above ground level, access to the light source shall
72 only be possible after removing a barrier or an enclosure requiring the use of a tool.

86 - climatic conditions: from 10% to 100% (AB2) and from 5% to 95% (AB4).
87 The classes given for the following external influences are minimum requirements:
88 - presence of water: AD 3 (sprays);
89 - presence of foreign bodies: AE 2 (small objects).
90 Classes of other conditions of external influences are dependent on local conditions.
91 NOTE Other classes of external influences e.g. corrosive substances, mechanical impact, solar radiation, etc. may

97 protection.

98 For luminaires, the degrees of protection IP23 are sufficient:

99 - when the risk of pollution is negligible, for example in residential and rural areas, and
