Note(s)

  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]
