Vznožki in okovi žarnic in sijalk skupaj s kalibri za kontrolo medsebojne zamenljivosti in varnosti - 4. del: Smernice in splošne informacije - Dopolnilo 13

Obstaja kodirni sistem, ki se lahko uporabi za dodeljevanje oznak vznožkom in okovom žarnic in sijalk.  Črke, števila in simboli, ki sestavljajo to oznako, se lahko smiselno določijo. Sistem je mednarodno sprejet, zato ga je treba čim bolj uporabljati. Samoumevno je, da obstaja zveza med določenim vznožkom in okovom žarnic in sijalk, ki se uporabi skupaj z njim. Ta zveza se odraža v ustrezni dodelitvi, del katere se uporablja pri obeh proizvodih. Posledično ta sistem omogoča primerjavo vznožkov in okov žarnic in sijalk različnih proizvajalcev, in če so medsebojno zamenljivi, lahko dodeli isto oznako. Ta sistem je prav tako močno orodje za nadzorovanje proliferacije načrtov. Dodeljevanje oznak novim tipom vznožk in okov žarnic in sijalk je naloga pododbora 34B strokovne skupine EPC IEC. Cilj tega sistema je vsaka dodeljena kratka in čim lažje izgovorljiva oznaka za spodbujanje njihove uporabe v praksi. Ta sistem temelji na več poddelih, izdelanih iz črk, številk in simbolov, od katerih ima vsak svoje značilnosti. Samo ena oznaka bo dodeljena za določen vznožek ali okov. Ta sistem ne poskuša določiti materialov. Deli oznake so združeni brez prostora za druge ločevalne oznake.

INTERNATIONAL DESIGNATION OF LAMP CAPS

AND HOLDERS
Page 1/12
1 Introduction
A coding system is in existence that can be used to assign designations to lamp caps and
lampholders. Meaningful assignment can be made to the letters, numbers and symbols that make
up this designation. The system has gained international acceptance and should be used as
much as possible.
It is self-evident that there is a relationship between a certain lamp cap and the lampholder to be
used with it. This relation is reflected in the relevant designation, part of which is used in
common for the two products.
As a consequence of this system it is possible to compare caps and holders from various
manufacturers and, where they are interchangeable, the same designation can be assigned to
them. This system is also a powerful instrument for controlling proliferation of designs.
Assignment of designations to new types of cap and holder is the prerogative of the experts
group EPC of IEC Sub-Committee 34B.
2 Designation system
It is an objective of this system that each assigned designation should be short and as easily
pronounceable as possible to stimulate its use in practice.
This system is based on several sub-parts made up of letters, numbers and symbols, each part
having its own characteristics. Only one designation shall be assigned to a particular cap and
holder. This system does not attempt to identify materials. Parts of a designation are joined
directly together with no spaces or other separator marks.
A completed designation of caps and holders takes the form as follows:
designation of lamp cap: (a)(b)(c)-(d)/(e)x(f)
designation of lampholder: (a)(b)(c)-(d)
NOTE The use of an abbreviated lamp cap designation is permitted unless this might cause misunderstanding.
The section of the designation preceding the oblique stroke refers to information which is
important with regard to interchangeability of lamps fitted with a certain cap in the corresponding
lampholder.
