Specifies essential safety requirements for approval and test purposes. It is to be read in conjunction with AS 3100.

This Specification specifies essential safety requirements for luminaires (lighting fittings), which are intended for use in a fixed position, for indoor and outdoor applications, and for connection to a.c or d.c. supply not exceeding low voltage. It provides for two categories of luminaire according to intended ambient operating temperature (see Clause 16). The Specification does not apply to luminaires within the scope of the following Standard and specifications: AS 3118 Approval and test specification-Electric inspection handlampsAS 3128 Approval and test specification-Portable lamp standards and brackets AS 3152 Approval and test specification-Decorative lighting outfits AS 2480 Electrical equipment for explosive atmospheres-Flameproof enclosures-Type of protection d
