Abstract

<strong>Products and Equipment Included</strong> <br>This standard describes installation procedures for lighting systems commonly used in industrial and storage buildings, including, but not limited to, the following: <br>a) High intensity discharge (HID) low-bay and highbay lighting systems. <br>b) Fluorescent strip lights and general purpose industrial overhead lighting systems. <br>c) Common special-purpose and special-environment industrial luminaires. <br>d) Lighting installed on industrial wireway and track lighting systems. <br><strong>Products and Equipment Excluded</strong> <br>While this standard generally covers most industrial lighting systems, the following are specifically excluded: <br>a) Recessed and surface mounted indoor commercial lighting systems covered by NECA/IESNA 500-2006 (ANSI). <br>b) Lighting systems designed for hazardous (classified) locations, as defined by NEC Article 500, in which special equipment listings or ratings are required. <br>c) Lighting systems designed for manufacturing clean rooms, food preparation areas, and other special environments. <br>d) Portable lighting. <br><strong>Related Construction Materials</strong> <br>In addition to the luminaire(s) proper, this standard includes related construction materials, including lamps, conduit, wire, various special screws and clips, structural suspension components, and other related components and parts. <br><strong>Regulatory and Other Requirements</strong> <br>a) All information in this publication is intended to conform to the National Electrical Code (ANSI/ NFPA 70). It is recommended that all work be performed in accordance with NFPA 70E, <em>Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace</em>. Installers should always follow the NEC, applicable state and local codes, manufacturer's instructions, and contract documents when installing industrial lighting systems. <br>b) Only qualified persons familiar with the construction and installation of industrial lighting systems should perform the work described in this publication. <br>c) General requirements for installing electrical products and systems are described in NECA 1, <em>Standard for Good Workmanship</em> in Electrical Contracting (ANSI). Other <em>National Electrical Installation Standards</em> provide additional guidance for installing particular types of electrical products and systems. A complete list of <em>NEIS</em> is provided in Annex B.
