This interpretation sheet has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC technical
committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
The text of this interpretation sheet is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting

___________
Interpretation of Clause 7 of IEC 62776:2014
The statement in the first paragraph of Clause 7 that “there shall not be any electrical
continuity between the two ends of the lamp during the insertion” is in contradiction with the
compliance requirements that follow. In the physical world, establishing the complete lack of
any electrical continuity between the two ends is not possible since all materials may be
characterized by their inherent conductivity however small it may be.
The compliance requirements described in the fourth paragraph of Clause 7 shall take
precedence.
