(Main)Edison screw lampholders
Edison screw lampholders
This International Standard applies to lampholders with Edison thread E14, E27 and E40, designed for connection to the supply of lamps and semi-luminaires* only. It also applies to switched-lampholders for use in a.c. circuits only, where the working voltage does not exceed 250 V r.m.s. This standard also applies to lampholders with Edison thread E5 designed for connection to the supply mains of series connected lamps, with a working voltage not exceeding 25 V, to be used indoors, and to lampholders with Edison thread E10 designed for connection to the supply mains of series connected lamps, with a working voltage not exceeding 60 V, to be used indoors or outdoors. It also applies to lampholders E10 for building-in, for the connection of single lamps to the supply. These lampholders are not intended for retail sale.

Douilles à vis Edison pour lampes
La présente Norme internationale s'applique aux douilles à vis Edison E14, E27 et E40 destinées uniquement au raccordement des lampes et des semi-luminaires* à l'alimentation. Elle s'applique aussi aux douilles à interrupteur destinées exclusivement aux circuits de courant alternatif dont la tension de service ne dépasse pas 250 V (valeur efficace). La présente norme est également applicable aux douilles à vis Edison E5 destinées à être raccordées au réseau d'alimentation de lampes montées en série et dont la tension de fonctionnement ne dépasse pas 25 V, pour utilisation à l'intérieur, ainsi qu'aux douilles à vis Edison E10 destinées au raccordement au réseau d'alimentation de lampes montées en série et dont la tension de fonctionnement ne dépasse pas 60 V, pour utilisation à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur. Elle s'applique également aux douilles E10 à incorporer, pour le raccordement de lampes individuelles à l'alimentation. Ces douilles ne sont pas destinées à la vente au détail.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2004-10-01. CENELEC members are bound to
comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

Foreword
The text of document 34B/1151/FDIS, future edition 8 of IEC 60238, prepared by SC 34B, Lamp caps
and holders, of IEC TC 34, Lamps and related equipment, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC
parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60238 on 2004-10-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60238:1998 + corrigendum February 1999 + A1:1999 +
A2:2002 + A2:2002/corrigendum July 2003.
In this edition the new requirements for creepage distances and clearances have been adopted which
are currently circulated by IEC/SC 34D to amend the EN 60598 family of luminaire standards.
Additionally guidances for requirements in EN 61058-1 applicable to switches in lampholders (see
Annex B) and for special requirements in appliance standards (see Annex C) have been included.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2005-07-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2007-10-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
The contents of the corrigendum of January 2005 have been included in this copy.
