Hi

559.5.1. My question is that for any luminare in the UK must be complaint to one of the methods (BS standards) listed in the list, or else we would not be compliment fitting and connecting to? Is that correct?

So if the fitting is not supplied with any details in relation to the points listed on p219, technically we cannot fit it unless we of course put something inside of it that does comply?

Thanks
John
 
559.5.1 Connection to the fixed wiring
At each fixed lighting point one of the following shall be used for the termination of the wiring system:

(ii) A luminaire supporting coupler (LSC) complying with BS 6972 or BS 7001
(iii) A batten lampholder or a pendant set complying with BS EN 60598
(iv) A luminaire complying with BS EN 60598
(v) A suitable socket-outlet complying with BS 1363-2, BS 546 or BS EN 60309-2
(vi) A plug-in lighting distribution unit complying with BS 5733
(vii) A connection unit complying with BS 1363-4
(viii) Appropriate terminals enclosed in a box complying with the relevant part of BS EN 60670 series or BS 4662
(ix) A device for connecting a luminaire (DCL) outlet complying with BS IEC 61995-1
(x) An installation coupler complying with BS EN 61535.
NOTE: In suspended ceilings one plug-in lighting distribution unit may be used for a number of luminaires.

Seems like just about everything is covered.
 
Okay, so reading further in the same section i see 559.5.4 covers fittings that do not carry connections / approvals :). My question answered.
