Overview
EN 60061-1:1993/A6:1996 (adopted as SIST EN 60061-1:1999/A6:1999) is the CLC/CENELEC adoption of the IEC series addressing lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeability and safety - Part 1: Lamp caps. The standard establishes the normative framework used across the lighting industry to ensure lamp caps (bulb bases) are safely interchangeable and measurable using control gauges.

Key topics and requirements
This part of the EN/IEC 60061 series focuses on requirements that ensure consistent, safe lamp cap design and verification:
- Scope: Defines the application to lamp caps and the associated gauges used to check interchangeability and safety.
- Interchangeability control: Requirements and provisions for ensuring lamp caps fit corresponding holders without modification.
- Gauges and measurement: Use of control gauges to verify dimensions and tolerances that influence fit and safe operation.
- Safety considerations: Provisions intended to minimize electrical and mechanical hazards in normal use and replacement of lamps.
- Standardization and markings: Requirements that support consistent identification and specification across manufacturers and markets.
(Note: this summary describes the standard’s topics; consult the IEC 60061 database for detailed clauses, dimensions and test methods.)
Applications
EN 60061-1 is practical for organizations and professionals involved in the design, manufacture, testing and procurement of lighting products:
- Lamp and lamp cap manufacturers: to design bases that comply with interchangeability and safety expectations.
- Lighting fixture and holder makers: to ensure fittings match standardized lamp caps.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors: to verify compliance using prescribed gauges and procedures.
- Procurement and quality assurance teams: to specify compliant components and reduce field failures.
- Electricians, installers and product compliance officers: to understand compatibility and safety implications when replacing lamps.
