The requirements for cable winding devices in the devices are specified in IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-2. The requirements for cable winding devices in luminaires are specified in IEC 60598-1 and IEC 60598-2-25.
A cable winding device related to a device or fixture is a device designed to power a particular device or fixture. It must be fixed or delivered together without being mounted on the device or luminaire and without its own enclosure that provides protection against electric shock. An example is a cable winding device associated with hand lamps according to IEC 60598-2-8. To the extent practicable, this standard may be used as a guide for cable winding devices incorporated into or associated with appliances or luminaires. Cable reels conforming to this standard are suitable for use at ambient temperatures normally not exceeding 25 °C, but sometimes reaching 35 °C. Special construction may be required where special conditions prevail.
To the extent practicable, this standard may be used as a guide for cable winding devices incorporated into or associated with appliances or luminaires.
Cable reels conforming to this standard should be suitable for use at ambient temperatures normally not exceeding +40 °C, but the lower limit of ambient air temperature - 5 °C is suitable for use at ambient temperatures normally not exceeding 25 °C, but sometimes reaching 35 °C .
