DIN EN 61821:2012-08

This standard contains the management, safety and procedural requirements specific to the maintenance of an aeronautical ground lighting (AGL) constant current series circuit and has taken into consideration existing national standards, requirements and practices. The standard - covers constant current series circuits for AGL installed at aerodromes and heliports; - concentrates on providing the safety requirements for the maintenance of an AGL constant current series circuit. It is recognized that AGL constant current series circuits of different design characteristics and parameters are in existence; - is mainly concerned with safety to persons by specifying the rules and fundamental principles for the maintenance of AGL constant current series circuits; - is not intended to apply to AGL primary series circuits supplied directly from a mains constant voltage source; - is not intended to be used for public street lighting, roadway lighting or any other installation requiring the use of constant current series circuits. The responsible committee is DKE/K 229 "Elektrische Anlagen für Beleuchtung und Befeuerung von Flugplätzen" ("Electrical installation for lighting and beaconing of aerodromes") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
