新的！IEC 60598-2-4:20 17作为IEC 60598-2-4:20 17 RLV提供，其中包含国际标准及其红线版本，显示了与上一版本相比技术内容的所有变化。IEC 60598-2-4:20 17规定了室内和/或室外使用（例如花园使用）的便携式通用灯具的要求，手电筒除外，设计用于与电源电压不超过250 V的电光源一起使用或包含电光源。 这第三版取消并取代了1997年出版的第二版。本版构成技术修订版。 与上一版相比，此版本包括以下重大技术变更: -符合IEC 60598-1； -通过引入IEC 60598中已列出的要求，修改范围、分类和要求，以涵盖室内和室外应用的便携式灯具-2-7; 注:在此版本的IEC 60598-2-4中，已纳入IEC 60598-2-7中列出的所有要求。因此，IEC 60598-2-7将在本标准发布后被撤销。 -修改范围以涵盖所有电光源（以前仅限于钨丝、管状荧光灯和其他放电灯）； -引入非普通但仅适用于室内应用的灯具的符号（例如使用PVC电缆的灯具）； -修改试验细节，明确在倾斜平面上的稳定性试验（见4.7.3）应在光源就位的情况下进行； -将户外使用的便携式灯具的最低防尘和防潮等级从IPX3修改为IPX4（见4。5.2);因此，删除了IEC 60598-2-7:19 82，7.6.3中给出的电缆入口位置要求，因为它们包含在IPX4中； -插头插座验收标准要求的修改； -修改IP测试，要求最不利的翻转位置覆盖所有类别（而不仅仅是IEC 60598-2-7:19 82 7.13.1中的II类灯具）。

NEW!IEC 60598-2-4:2017 is available as IEC 60598-2-4:2017 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC 60598-2-4:2017 specifies requirements for portable general purpose luminaires for indoor and/or outdoor use (e.g. garden use), other than handlamps, designed to be used with or incorporating electrical light sources on supply voltages not exceeding 250 V.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1997. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- alignment with IEC 60598-1;
- modification of the scope, classification and requirements to cover portable luminaires for both indoor and outdoor applications, by introducing the requirements already listed in IEC 60598-2-7;
NOTE  In this edition of IEC 60598-2-4 all requirements listed in IEC 60598-2-7 have been incorporated. As a consequence, IEC 60598-2-7 will be withdrawn after publication of this standard.
- modification of the scope to cover all electrical light sources (it was previously limited to tungsten filament, tubular fluorescent and other discharge lamps);
- introduction of the symbol for luminaires which are other than ordinary, but suitable for indoor applications only (e.g. luminaire using PVC cable);
- modification in the detail of test to clarify that the stability test on an inclined plane (see 4.7.3) shall be carried out with the light source(s) in place;
- modification of the minimum degree of protection against dust and moisture for portable luminaires for outdoor use from IPX3 to IPX4 (see 4.5.2); as a consequence, the requirements for cable entry position, as given in IEC 60598-2-7:1982, 7.6.3 were deleted as they are covered by IPX4;
- modification of the requirements for the acceptance criteria of plug and socket outlet;
- modification of the IP test requiring the most unfavourable of the overturned positions to cover all classes (and not only class II luminaires as in 7.13.1 of IEC 60598-2-7:1982).
