Overview
EN 60061-1:1993/A23:1999 (CLC) - Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeability and safety - Part 1: Lamp caps - is the European adoption of the IEC 60061-1 series amendment. The standard defines requirements for lamp caps to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability and safe use with corresponding holders. Access to the full and updated technical content is available through the IEC 60061 database (subscription required).
Key Topics
The standard focuses on practical, safety-driven aspects of lamp caps and covers topics such as:
- Interchangeability requirements - criteria that ensure lamp caps fit and operate correctly with standardized holders.
- Mechanical and dimensional characteristics - physical form, thread, pins or bayonet features and tolerances necessary for compatibility (general scope; specific dimensions are in the full standard).
- Gauging and verification - use of control gauges and methods for checking caps for conformity with interchangeability limits.
- Safety considerations - design principles that mitigate risks of electrical shock, overheating or mechanical failure in typical lamp-holder combinations.
- Marking and identification - requirements for labeling caps to support correct selection and regulatory compliance.
- Test procedures - prescribed tests for mechanical strength, electrical continuity, and endurance to validate compliance (detailed test methods appear in the full IEC text).
Applications
EN 60061-1 is essential for anyone involved in the lighting supply chain who must ensure safe, interchangeable lamp components:
- Lamp and cap manufacturers - design and production to recognized interchangeability and safety criteria.
- Lighting fixture and holder manufacturers - confirming compatibility with standardized lamp caps.
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies - performing gauging and type testing to verify compliance.
- Procurement and specifications teams - selecting compliant components for buildings, industrial installations and retail products.
- Regulatory authorities and safety inspectors - referencing harmonized requirements for consumer and commercial lighting equipment.
