Why it matters
IEC 63116:2026 is a paid FDIS (pre-release available 2026-10-16 to 2026-11-27) that elevates IEC TS 63116:2021 and its Amendment 1:2023 to a full International Standard covering general requirements for the design, installation, and maintenance of both outdoor and indoor lighting systems. Compliance teams should note that the document is a technical revision, not merely a reissue: the clause structure has been reorganised, the scope has been clarified to explicitly include outdoor and indoor systems, and a new clause on information security and cybersecurity has been introduced. Organisations that implemented IEC TS 63116:2021 will need to review updated clause numbering and the new cybersecurity requirements before migrating to this edition.
What to do
IEC 63116:2026 establishes general requirements for the design, installation, and maintenance of lighting systems, including new provisions on information security and cybersecurity.
