This section of Part 2 of IEC 598 specifies requirements for fixed luminaires intended for
use in the water, or in contact with the water, in, for example, the basins of swimming
pools, fountains, paddling pools, and garden pools, and for use with tungsten filament
lamps.
This section does not cover luminaires not in contact with the water (e.g. mounted behind
a glass panel which is separate from the luminaire) or hand-held or portable luminaires.
It is to be read in conjunction with those sections of Part 1 to which reference is made.
