Document Purpose
The purpose of this document is to specify which requirements in Quality Standards & Requirements that are classified as legal according to below set definition.
All requirements necessary to comply with to get safe products that minimize the risk of personal injuries requiring assistance from medical personnel are classified as being legal. This since they fall under General Product Safety Laws. The extent of the injury and the probability of the injury occurring needs to be evaluated.
A requirement is considered as legal when the consequences of the requirement not being fulfilled can result in a personal injury requiring assistance from medical personnel based on foreseeable use and/or misuse. Cases of property damages are only falling under this definition when they have a reasonably foreseeable risk to lead to personal injuries requiring assistance from medical personnel.

General requirements for Luminaires
Luminaires (light fixtures)
Definition: A light fixture, light fitting or luminaire is an electrical device used to create artificial light by use of an electric lamp (light bulb, LED lamp or similar). All light fixtures have a fixture body and a light socket to hold the lamp and allow for its replacement. Fixtures may also have a switch to control the light, either attached to the lamp body or attached to the power cable.
