Overview
EN 60061-1:1993/A2:1995 (adopted as SIST EN 60061-1:1999/A2:1999) is a European/CLC standard covering lamp caps - the interface components of electric lamps that engage with lamp holders - and the use of gauges to control interchangeability and safety. The document is part of the IEC/EN 60061 series and is intended to ensure that lamp caps fit correctly, operate safely, and are consistently identified across manufacturers and markets. For the complete, up-to-date text and official specifications, subscribe to the IEC 60061 Database.
Key Topics
This part (Part 1: Lamp caps) addresses the fundamental requirements needed to achieve safe and interchangeable lamp cap designs. Key technical topics typically covered include:
- Scope and definitions related to lamp caps, holders and gauges
- Designation and marking practices to identify cap types and ensure correct use
- Dimensional requirements and tolerances to ensure mechanical interchangeability with corresponding lamp holders (checked using gauges)
- Mechanical and electrical safety considerations to prevent incorrect insertion, accidental contact, or arcing
- Gauges and control methods used to verify dimensions and fit for quality control and compliance
- Inspection and test principles to assess conformity with the standard (visual checks, fit tests using gauges, mechanical endurance)
- Reference classification information (ICS 29.140.10 for lamp caps and holders)
(Note: this summary lists topic areas; consult the official standard for exact measurements, test procedures and normative clauses.)
Applications
EN 60061-1 is essential for stakeholders involved in lighting product development, production and safety compliance:
- Lamp and luminaire manufacturers - design and verify lamp caps for interchangeability and compliance
- Quality control and testing laboratories - use gauges and tests specified to confirm conformance
- Purchasing and procurement teams - specify cap types and ensure compatibility across suppliers
- Regulatory bodies and certification agencies - reference the standard for product approvals and market surveillance
- Electrical installers and lighting designers - rely on standardized cap types for safe system integration
Using a harmonized standard helps reduce product failures, enhances safety, and simplifies international trade of lighting components.
