SECTION F – MECHANICAL ENGINEERING; LIGHTING; HEATING; WEAPONS; BLASTING


F 21LIGHTING (electric aspects or elements, see section H, e.g. electric light sources H01J, H01K, H05B)


F 21 SNON-PORTABLE LIGHTING DEVICES OR SYSTEMS THEREOF [1,7]


Notes

(1)This subclass covers devices or systems intended for fixed installation, e.g. vehicle lighting, or for use at a permanent location, e.g. free-standing floor- or table-lamps. [7]

(2)This subclass does not cover devices or systems specially adapted for transportation, which are covered by subclass F21L. [7]

(3)In this subclass, it is desirable to add the indexing codes of subclasses F21W and F21Y. The indexing codes should be unlinked. [7]
