Overview

EN 60630:1998/A6:2009 is a European standard issued by CLC that defines the maximum lamp outlines for incandescent lamps, including tungsten-halogen types. This amendment modifies EN 60630:1998 to update and standardize the dimensional limits of various incandescent lamps ensuring mechanical compatibility within lighting fixtures. The standard supports designers, manufacturers, and testing bodies by providing definitive maximum physical dimensions for standardized lamp types used across Europe.

This standard applies to a wide range of incandescent lamps with various shapes and caps, excluding references to lamps with E17, E26, and E39 caps in its modification. It integrates with other IEC standards for lamp caps, safety, and interchangeability, making it a critical reference in the lamp and luminaire design industry.

Key Topics

• Scope and Purpose
  Specifies maximum outer dimensions for incandescent lamps, including tungsten-halogen variants. It ensures that all lamps conforming to the standard will physically fit into compatible luminaires designed with the outlines in mind.

• Normative References
  Incorporates other key IEC standards including:

  • IEC 60061-1 and IEC 60061-3 (Lamp caps and gauges)
  • IEC 60064 (Tungsten filament lamps)
  • IEC 60357 (Tungsten halogen lamps)
  • IEC 60432 series (Incandescent lamp safety specifications)
  • IEC 61126 (Procedure for maximum lamp outlines)

• Lamp Types and Dimensions
  The document provides detailed maximum outlines for a diverse range of lamp forms such as pear shape, mushroom, round bulb, candle lamp, pigmy lamp, tubular lamp, and reflector lamp shapes across different wattages and cap types. Examples include:

  • Pear shape lamps (A50 to A170 sizes)
  • Mushroom shape lamps (M50 to M75)
  • Reflector lamps (PAR50 to PAR121)
  • Tubular lamps (T17 to T29)
  • Candle and pigmy lamps with various cap fittings

• Mechanical Acceptance
  By adhering to this standard, luminaire manufacturers ensure compatibility and mechanical acceptance of incandescent lamps without temperature considerations, supporting interoperability and safety.

---

Applications

• Lighting Fixture Design
  Enables manufacturers of luminaires to design fittings that accommodate all standardized incandescent lamps meeting the maximum outline specifications, reducing risk of mechanical incompatibility.

• Lamp Manufacturing
  Lamp makers use EN 60630 outlines to shape and size bulbs accurately for market acceptance ensuring standard compliance.

• Quality Control
  Testing laboratories and certification bodies refer to this standard to verify lamp outlines and ensure consistent product dimensions for marketplace trust.

• Supply Chain Standardization
  Facilitates industry-wide consistency across manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users regarding incandescent lamp form factors.

---

Related Standards

• IEC 60061 – Major standard for lamp caps and gauges supporting interchangeability and safety controls.
• IEC 60064 – Specifications for tungsten filament lamps for general lighting.
• IEC 60357 – Defines performance specifications for tungsten-halogen lamps excluding vehicle use.
• IEC 60432 – Safety requirements for incandescent lamps covering tungsten filament and tungsten-halogen types.
• IEC 60887 – Identification system for lamp bulbs using glass codes.
• IEC 61126 – Provides methodology for the preparation of maximum lamp outlines ensuring consistency and accuracy.

---

By applying EN 60630:1998/A6:2009, lighting industry stakeholders achieve standardized lamp dimensions that promote safety, compatibility, and reliability in incandescent lamp and luminaire production, enhancing user confidence and market efficiency across Europe and beyond.
