This part of IEC 62257 applies to stand-alone rechargeable electric lighting appliances or kits that can be installed by a typical user without employing a technician.
This technical specification presents a quality assurance framework that includes product specifications (a framework for interpreting test results), test methods, and standardized specifications sheets (templates for communicating test results).
The intended users of this technical specification are listed below. In some clauses and subclauses of this technical specification, a description of the application of the subclause contents is offered to help provide context for each type of user.
