Overview

SIST EN 60630:2001 is a European standard developed by the CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) that specifies the maximum lamp outlines for incandescent lamps. The standard focuses exclusively on tungsten filament lamps designed for domestic and similar general lighting purposes. This document establishes uniform dimensions and outlines to ensure compatibility and interchangeability within lighting fixtures, facilitating design consistency and safety across the industry.

Key Topics

• Maximum Lamp Outlines
  The standard defines the maximum physical dimensions-height, width, and contour-that incandescent lamps, specifically tungsten filament types, should comply with. This ensures lamps fit into standardized fittings and fixtures without interference.

• Tungsten Filament Lamps
  Addresses incandescent lamps using tungsten filaments, widely used in household lighting due to their efficiency and quality of light emission.

• Domestic and General Lighting Use
  The scope is focused on lamps intended for typical residential environments and general lighting applications, helping manufacturers meet consumer and regulatory expectations.

• Dimension Standardization
  Ensures that lamp designs adhere to predefined maximum outlines, promoting interchangeability, enhancing product safety, and aiding in automated manufacturing processes.

• Compatibility and Safety
  By adhering to these outlines, lighting products reduce the risk of mechanical incompatibility and overheating, ensuring safer usage and compliance with broader electrical safety regulations.

Applications

• Lighting Fixture Design
  Manufacturers refer to EN 60630 when designing sockets, holders, and fixtures to ensure that incandescent lamps will fit properly and operate safely.

• Lamp Production and Quality Control
  Lamp manufacturers use this standard to maintain consistent production dimensions and for quality assurance to meet market and regulatory demands.

• Retail and Consumer Protection
  Helps retailers and consumers by ensuring lamps marketed as incandescent tungsten filament types fit standard fixtures according to recognized outlines.

• Replacement Lamp Manufacturing
  Enables production of replacement lamps compatible with existing fixtures without requiring modifications.

• Energy Efficiency and Environmental Compliance
  Although focused on physical outlines, compliance often accompanies design considerations for energy labeling and environmental standards applicable in the domestic lighting sector.

Related Standards

• EN 60061 - Lamp Caps and Holders - Defines standards for lamp bases and caps, complementing EN 60630’s outline specifications.

• IEC 60064 - Tungsten Filament Lamps - Covers performance requirements for tungsten filament incandescent lamps.

• EN 60598 - Luminaires - Specifies requirements for lighting fixtures that incorporate incandescent lamps, ensuring overall safety and performance.

• Energy Performance Standards - Many regional energy efficiency regulations, like those in the EU, promote phase-out or regulation of incandescent lamps but still recognize their physical standards where applicable.

---

By specifying maximum lamp outlines for incandescent tungsten filament lamps, SIST EN 60630:2001 supports standardized manufacturing, safety, and interoperability in general domestic lighting. Compliance with this standard helps ensure that incandescent lamps conform to recognized dimensional requirements, benefiting manufacturers, designers, retailers, and end-users worldwide.
