EPL/97 - Aeronautical ground lighting

Sector: Manufacturing

Categories: Lighting | Fibre optic systems. General | Ground service and maintenance equipment | Electrical installations. Outdoor use | Lighting installation systems | Road engineering | Railways construction | Electrical insulation. General | Lamps and related equipment | Aerospace electric equipment and systems | Airport construction | Electrical engineering. General

Overview: Under the direction of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee, To prepare international standards for design, installation, operation and maintenance of aeronautical ground lighting of aerodromes. The activity covers requirements which apply to the whole system from the power source up to and including the luminaires used in aeronautical ground lighting. It does not cover: Electrical installations already standardised by IEC/TC 64. Luminaires not used as aeronautical ground lights standardised by IEC/TC 34 Special cables for the constant current series circuit standardised by IEC/TC 20
