Overview

EN 60399:2004 is a European Standard developed and published by the CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) that specifies the limit dimensions for barrel threads used in lampholders equipped with shade holder rings. This standard applies to lampholders made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials, as well as shade holder rings constructed from metal or plastic. EN 60399:2004 aligns with IEC 60399:2004 and supersedes previous editions, including EN 60399:1993 and its amendments.

The primary objective of this standard is to harmonize the dimensions and tolerances for these barrel threads, ensuring interchangeability, safety, and compatibility across the lighting industry. It supports manufacturers, designers, and regulatory bodies by providing clear specifications for producing lampholders that accommodate shade holder rings reliably.

Key Topics

• Thread Dimension Specifications
  EN 60399:2004 defines the limit dimensions for barrel threads used in lampholders, which ensures consistent manufacturing and fitting of shade holder rings.

• Material Compatibility
  The standard covers lampholders made from metal, plastic, and ceramic materials, as well as shade holder rings made of metal or plastic, reflecting diverse industrial applications.

• Interoperability and Safety
  By standardizing thread dimensions, EN 60399:2004 facilitates interchangeability between products from different manufacturers while maintaining safety standards.

• Updated Scope and Title
  The 2004 edition extends the range of barrel thread types and updates the title to reflect the broader scope related to lampholders with shade holder rings.

• Implementation Timeline
  Adopted as a European standard in October 2004, member countries were mandated to implement EN 60399:2004 by July 1, 2005, and to withdraw conflicting national standards by October 1, 2007.

Applications

• Lighting Fixture Manufacturing
  Manufacturers use EN 60399:2004 to design and produce lampholders with barrel threads that securely hold lampshades or other fixture components.

• Quality Control and Testing
  Testing laboratories and quality control units apply the dimensional limits in EN 60399:2004 to verify compliance and ensure product reliability.

• Product Design Standardization
  Designers incorporate EN 60399 specifications into new lighting products to guarantee compatibility with existing lampshade holder rings and accessories.

• Maintenance and Replacement
  Maintenance professionals utilize the standardized thread dimensions for selecting correct replacement parts in lighting installations.

• International Trade Facilitation
  Harmonized standards such as EN 60399:2004 promote the free movement of lighting products across European markets and beyond.

Related Standards

• IEC 60399:2004
  The international standard on which EN 60399:2004 is based, establishing globally recognized technical requirements.

• EN 60061 Series
  Standards covering lamp caps and holders, relevant to ensuring complete system compatibility.

• EN 60400:2004
  Specifications on lampholder safety requirements and tests, complementing the mechanical dimension guidelines of EN 60399.

• National Lighting Standards
  Post-implementation, national standards conflicting with EN 60399 were withdrawn to unify technical requirements across Europe.
