The UL1598 standard consolidates UL1570 Fluorescent Fixed Luminaires, UL1571 Incandescent Fixed Luminaires, and UL1572 High-Intensity Discharge Fixed Luminaires. It is a harmonized standard with CSA C22.2 NO.250.0-00 and primarily applies to permanently wired luminaires that do not fall under other specialized luminaire standards. These include, but are not limited to, recessed lights, wall lights, ceiling lights, street lights, and fixed LED luminaires. These luminaires are typically installed in non-hazardous locations and operate on branch circuits with voltages not exceeding 600V.
UL1598 is a safety performance testing standard for fixed luminaires. To sell fixed luminaires on Amazon/Temu’s U.S. site, a UL1598 safety test report is generally required. This ensures that the product complies with U.S. safety regulations. The test report must be issued by an ISO17025-certified laboratory after the product has passed all necessary tests.
The UL1598 test report covers multiple safety performance tests, including but not limited to:
- Enclosure Strength Test: Evaluates the strength and impact resistance of the luminaire’s casing.
- Leakage Current Test: Checks for leakage current on the luminaire’s enclosure, especially for luminaires with accessible metal components.
- Leakage Current Test After Humidity Exposure: Measures leakage current under specific humidity conditions.
- Input Test: Verifies the luminaire’s input voltage and current compliance.
- Normal Temperature Test: Measures the temperature of various luminaire parts under normal operating conditions to ensure safety.
- Dielectric Voltage Withstand Test: Conducts high-voltage testing to assess insulation performance.
- Drop Test: Simulates potential drops during transportation or installation to evaluate structural integrity.
- Plastic Material Stress Release Test: Assesses the performance of plastic materials under stress conditions.
- Pressure Test (Snap-Fit Structure): Examines the strength and stability of snap-fit connections in luminaires.
- Abnormal Half-Wave Dimming Test / Half-Wave Dimming Test: Evaluates luminaire performance under abnormal or special dimming conditions.
- Moisture Test (For Luminaires with Accessible Metal Components): Tests luminaires in humid environments to check for potential short circuits or leakage.
- Rain Test (Wet Location Only): Simulates rain exposure to assess waterproof performance (only for luminaires designed for wet locations).
