Overview
EN 60682:1993/A2:1997 (adopted by CLC, parallel vote) is the European implementation of IEC 60682 Amendment 2 and defines a standardized method of measuring the pinch temperature of quartz glass lamps. The amendment updates the title, clarifies scope and definitions, and specifies practical measurement details used in lamp testing and certification. The standard is relevant to incandescent and quartz-glass lamp types (ICS 29.140.20).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Specifies the required type of thermocouple, three approved methods for preparing the lamp and thermocouple assembly, and the exact measurement to be performed.
- Thermocouple details: The standard provides requirements for the thermocouple type and its attachment to ensure consistent, repeatable pinch temperature readings (see standard text for exact sensor specifications).
- Preparation methods: Describes three methods for preparing the lamp and thermocouple prior to measurement so laboratories can choose the technique best suited to the lamp design or test objective.
- Measurement procedure: Defines how the pinch temperature measurement is to be taken and recorded; includes procedural notes and safety considerations.
- Stabilization time: Notes that thermal stabilization of the lamp/thermocouple assembly is usually achieved within 0.5 h to 1 h, though higher-wattage lamps may require longer.
- Safety and UV protection: Adds a clear safety note that if ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the lamp is not suppressed during testing, personnel exposure must be controlled and protected.
- Cross-references: Definitions are aligned with “the relevant IEC lamp publications,” so users should consult the referenced IEC lamp standards for terminology and complementary requirements.
- Method-specific clarification: Amendment adds wording for Method 3 (mentions “or arc”) - consult the clause for full context.
Practical applications
- Quality control and type testing of quartz glass lamps to verify manufacturing consistency and thermal limits.
- Laboratory test procedures for product certification, safety compliance, and performance benchmarking.
- Research and development when evaluating lamp designs, pinch-seal robustness, and thermal behaviour.
- Regulatory or conformity assessment activities where a standardized pinch-temperature measurement is required for market approval.
Who should use this standard
- Lamp manufacturers and production engineers
- Accredited test laboratories and certification bodies
- R&D engineers working on quartz-glass and high-temperature lamp components
- Regulatory agencies and safety auditors involved in lighting product compliance
Related standards
- The standard cross-references relevant IEC lamp publications for definitions and complementary test methods. Users should consult the current IEC lamp standards and regional EN/CLC adaptations when performing conformity testing.
