EXPLANATORY NOTES ON IK IMPACT RESISTANCE RATING
The IK impact resistance rating is a measure of the resistance of a housing (in the case of electri-
cal equipment) to impact stress. It is standardised according to CEI EN 50102 and describes how
much impact energy (in Joules) the housing can withstand without breaking.
IK00
No impact resistance
IK01
Impact resistance up to impact energy of 0.14 J
IK02
Impact resistance up to impact energy of 0.2 J
IK03
Impact resistance up to impact energy of 0.35 J
IK04
Impact resistance up to impact energy of 0.5 J
IK05
Impact resistance up to impact energy of 0.7 J
IK06
Impact resistance up to impact energy of 1.0 J
IK07
Impact resistance up to impact energy of 2.0 J
IK08
Impact resistance up to impact energy of 5.0 J
IK09
Impact resistance up to impact energy of 10.0 J
IK10
Impact resistance up to impact energy of 20.0 J
IK10+ Impact resistance up to impact energy of 50.0 J
The impact resistance rating of the product can be found in the technical data and is
printed on the device.
MINIMUM DISTANCE TO ILLUMINATED SURFACE
This symbol with distance specification in metres (m) indicates the minimum
distance between the light head and the illuminated surface. In this example the
distance is 0.5 m.
MINIMUM DISTANCE TO NORMALLY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
This symbol with distance specification in metres (m) indicates the minimum dis-
tance between the light head and normally flammable materials. In this example
the distance is 0.5 m.
