of the luminaire if such rubbing will impair safety Compliance shall be checked by inspection

4.6.3 Portable luminaires shall have adequate stability Compliance shall be checked by placing the luminaire in the most unfavourable position of normal use on a plane inclined at an angle of 60 to the horizontal, the surface of the plane being such that the luminaire does not

slide.

Any instructions supplied by the manufacturer with the luminaire shall receive due consideration in respect of the stability test The luminaire shall not overturn

Luminaires which are fastened by clamps or similar devices are not subjected to this test

=: off simultaneously The switch shall be part of the luminaire or if in the cord shall be within

-~ 300 mm of the luminaire I

Compliance is checked by inspection i

4.6.5 E5 lampholders shall be used only if the rated voltage does not exceed 25 V per lampholder and the rated voltage of E10 lampholders (60 V or 250 V respectively) shall be respected The maximum rated wattage of the luminaire shall not exceed 100 W

Compliance is checked by inspection

4.7 Creepage distances and clearances The provisions of section 11 of lEG 60598-1 apply
