3 age 3 of 41 Test schedule The test schedules applied in the assessment of the lighting chains and transformers were as follows. BS EN : 1997 including Amendment 1 Clause 2.5 Marking Clause 2.6 Construction: Limited to Sub-Clause 4.25 Sharp edges of BS EN : 2008 Clause 2.10 External and internal wiring: Limited to Sub-Clause Sharp edges of BS EN : 2008 Clause 2.12 Endurance tests and thermal tests: Limited to Sub-Clauses 12.3 thermal endurance and 12.4 Thermal test (normal operation) of BS EN : 2008 The Client also requested some additional tests to be performed, to assess the thermal properties of the luminaires under two separate test conditions: 1) Thermal endurance test: Test recess covered with two layers of insulation 2) Abnormal thermal test: Operation with a lamp that does not reflect the heat forwards The applied tests were based upon the guidance provided in the following test Clauses: Notes: BS EN : 1997 including Amendment 1 Clause 2.12 Endurance tests and thermal tests: Limited to Sub-Clauses 12.3 thermal endurance and 12.4 Thermal test (normal operation) of BS EN : 2008 Sample reference RL-4 was not subjected to the additional test with two layers of insulation, as the original test programme covered this mode of operation. The luminaire marking details and installation leaflet for this product allowed the luminaire to be covered in normal use. Sample references RL-5; RL-6; RL-7 & RL-8 were not subjected to the thermal test with a nonaluminium lamp as the original test programme covered this mode of performance. Results The results of the limited tests and inspections performed on the samples submitted are contained on the following pages of this Test Report.

20 age 20 of 41 COMMENTS SECTION Sample No RL-1 Clause 3.2 Marking on luminaires The assessment was made on the label attached to the luminaire body. However, this label was attached to the exterior surface of the body and would therefore not be seen once installed or during lamp replacement. Sub-Clause Mark of origin The manufacturer s name or trade mark was not shown on the label attached to the luminaire body. Sub-Clause I rating The product packaging indicated that the sample was an I65 rated shower light. The main label did not contain this rating i.e. I65, but had the old graphical symbols that related to the rating of I55. The leaflet supplied with the product contained the symbol of a house and a symbol with an arrow pointing inside (indicating indoor use), with a rating of I20 stated. This conflicts with the product packaging and marking. Sub-Clause Model number or type reference The sample was not marked with the model number as shown on the product packaging. Sub-Clause Luminaires not suitable for mounting on combustible surfaces The sample was not marked with the symbol that denotes that the symbol is unsuitable for mounting on combustible surfaces. However the leaflet provided with the product contained the previously used F Mark symbol with a top hat denoting that it could be mounted on combustible surfaces and covered with insulating material. Clause 3.3 Additional information Sub-Clause Suitable for use indoors The Specification states that I rated luminaires shall have a statement contained within the installation leaflet that they are suitable for use indoors and contain details of the ambient temperature of use. The leaflet supplied with the luminaire for test was relevant to a product rated I20 ordinary and therefore contained no information relevant to an I rated luminaire.

21 age 21 of 41 COMMENTS SECTION Sample No RL-1: Continued/ Additional thermal test Luminaire covered with two layers of insulation In accordance with the Clients request, the sample was subjected to an additional thermal endurance test, when covered with two layers of insulation. This was deemed to be an abnormal mode of operation that ignored the installation instructions that advised that the luminaire should not be covered. The luminaire was operated in accordance with the guidance of Clause 12.3 of the Specification, in an ambient temperature of 35 C and when mounted in a test recess. The test recess was manufactured in accordance with the Specification requirements and taking into account the installation instructions. Under the conditions specified it was noted during the test that the sample cycled on and off, due to the thermal protection device fitted into the electronic transformer. However, the sample showed no signs of scorching or deterioration that would affect safety at the completion of the test period.
