Overview

The EN 61184:2017/A2:2024 standard, published by CLC and aligned with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61184:2017 Amendment 2, sets forth updated specifications and requirements for bayonet lampholders. Bayonet lampholders are crucial electrical components used worldwide for securely mounting and connecting light bulbs and lamps. This amendment reflects the latest technical revisions approved by CENELEC in September 2024, ensuring harmonization across European national standards by October 2025 and withdrawal of conflicting standards by October 2027.

The standard addresses electrical safety, mechanical design, and performance criteria to ensure compatibility, reliability, and safety of bayonet-type lamp caps and holders.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  The document specifies the key parameters and requirements for bayonet lampholders used in lighting systems, focusing on safety and functional interoperability.

• Technical Updates
  Amendment 2 revises minimum creepage distances and clearances for AC sinusoidal voltages under impulse withstand category II to enhance electrical safety. It removes some previous text clarifications related to these distances found in Amendment 1.

• Electrical Safety Requirements
  The standard outlines minimum clearance and creepage distances between electrical contacts to prevent electrical discharge and ensure insulation integrity under operating conditions.

• Mechanical and Dimensional Consistency
  Attributes such as the shape, dimensions, and fitting of bayonet caps and holders are standardized to guarantee interchangeability and secure attachment of lamps.

• Patent Considerations
  Users are advised of potential patent rights related to specific elements of this standard, with no liability assumed by CENELEC or IEC for patent infringements.

---

Applications

• Lighting Fixture Manufacturing
  Manufacturers of lighting products utilize EN 61184:2017/A2:2024 to design bayonet lampholders that meet European and international electrical safety standards, facilitating market access.

• Electrical Installation and Maintenance
  Electricians and contractors rely on this standard to select and verify bayonet lampholders that comply with safety regulations, ensuring proper installation and reducing fire and shock hazards.

• Quality Assurance and Certification
  Certification bodies and testing laboratories use the referenced criteria to assess conformity for compliance marking, assuring consumers and industries of product safety and quality.

• Retrofit and Replacement Components
  Standardized specifications ensure that replacement bayonet lampholders fit and function correctly with existing lamps and fixtures, promoting sustainability and product lifecycle management.
