Anybody familiar with BS EN60958-2-18?

As in the title.

Im having some work done on some underwater lamp fittings and can't find much info out about this standard.

Lights are currently 12 volt SELV contained in a water tight fitting but accessed from the front by means of 4 screws and a hinge down lid. Not sure if these are still compliant or indeed safe.

Thanks

Just to further the detail - the frontage hinges down and then the lamp holder pulls out on a long trailing lead which comes from a deck box at the side of the pool. To remove the lamp you then have to remove a lense and gasket to reveal the lamp itself. Seems safe providing the fitting itself stays dry but not sure how else it could be done anyway...rcd on supply side of the transformer but ultimately wouldn't trip if there was a short circuit on the load side...

Have you got that number right? There's no such standard mentioned on the BSI, CENELEC or IEC websites. Perhaps you meant 60598-2-18? (BS EN 60598-2-18:1994+A1:2012 Luminaires. Particular requirements. Luminaires for swimming pools and similar applications)
What do you need to know exactly?

The other parts of this series are harmonised under the LVD and published in the OJEU, so can be used to CE mark the equipment, but part 2-18 is not harmonised so I presume it doesn't cover all the essential safety requirements.

If you want to buy a copy you can get it from estonian standards www.evs.ee for sub 10 euro....
