Performance Criteria Guidelines

DfE Technical Annex 2E: Daylight & Electric Lighting November 2022

DfE Technical Annex 2E sets out the lighting standards for new and refurbished schools funded by the Department for Education. It ensures learning environments support student wellbeing and performance through appropriate daylight access, electric lighting levels, and glare control. The guidance also promotes energy efficiency, encouraging the use of LED lighting, daylight and occupancy sensors, and smart controls to reduce energy use and support Net Zero Carbon targets. The table below summarises the key lighting requirements schools must meet under this specification.

IP Rating

IP & IK Ratings Explained

The International Protection Rating / Ingress Protection Rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter as defined in the international standard EN65029. The IP rating classifies the degrees of protection against dust, moisture and intrusion of solid objects. The IP number is split, the first digit represents protection against dust particles and the second digit represents the protection against moisture.

The table below shows the digits that conform with IP Rating. IK

IK08

The IK rating indicates the level of protection provided by enclosures against external mechanical impact, defined by standard IEC 62262 and IEC 60068-2-75:1997. IK ratings are identified by a code that consists of the letters IK followed by two digits. The two digits range from 00 to 10 and relate to how well the enclosure resists the impact of energy levels measured in joules.

IK01 0.14 joules impact. Impact of 0.25kg mass dropped from 56mm above impacted surface.

IK02 0.2 joules impact. Impact of 0.25kg mass dropped from 80mm above impacted surface.

IK03 0.35 joules impact. Impact of 0.25kg mass dropped from 140mm above impacted surface.

IK04 0.5 joules impact. Impact of 0.25kg mass dropped from 200mm above impacted surface.

IK05 0.7 joules impact. Impact of 0.25kg mass dropped from 280mm above impacted surface.

IK06 1 joules impact. Impact of 0.25kg mass dropped from 400mm above impacted surface.

IK07 2 joules impact. Impact of 0.5kg mass dropped from 400mm above impacted surface.

IK08 5 joules impact. Impact of 1.7kg mass dropped from 300mm above impacted surface.

IK09 10 joules impact. Impact of 5kg mass dropped from 200mm above impacted surface.

IK10 20 joules impact. Impact of 5kg mass dropped from 400mm above impacted surface.
