Overview

EN 60061-4:1992/A11:2007 (IEC 60061-4:1990/A11:2007) is Part 4 of the IEC/CENELEC series covering lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeability and safety. This amendment provides guidelines and general information to support the dimensional, safety and interchangeability aspects of lamp caps, bases and lampholders. The full, up-to-date text is available through the IEC 60061 Database (subscription required).

Key Topics

This part is a guidance sheet that complements the dimensional and test requirements in the IEC 60061 series. Key technical topics and requirements included or referenced in the amendment are:

• International designation of lamp caps and holders - guidance on naming and referencing fits.
• New cap/base fits and non‑proliferation policy - principles to avoid unnecessary proliferation of incompatible fits.
• Creepage distances and clearances for caps on finished lamps - electrical safety considerations.
• Multi‑purpose adapters and retention of caps in holders - mechanical and safety guidance for adapters and cap retention.
• Lampholder/connector guidance and gauges in IEC Publication 60061 - use and recommended tolerances for gauges used to check interchangeability.
• Expression “solder” in lamp cap sheets - terminology clarification relevant to manufacturing and testing.
• Conformity testing during manufacture - guidance on factory-level checks.
• Guidelines for new fits in general lighting - basic principles to prevent unsafe replacements (for example, ELV fits should not be usable with higher-voltage halogen or discharge lamps without undue force).
• Fit/safety systems for common caps (examples noted: E27, E14) and dimensioning systems for specific capped tubular fluorescent lamps (G5, G13), plus combination lamp/starter holder concepts.

Applications

EN 60061-4:2007 is practical guidance for:

• Lamp and lampholder manufacturers designing caps, holders and gauges.
• Luminaire (fixture) designers and OEMs ensuring safe mechanical and electrical interfaces.
• Test laboratories and quality departments implementing conformity testing during manufacture.
• Regulatory and standards bodies referencing interchangeability and safety principles.
• Procurement and product managers assessing compatibility risks when introducing new lamp types or adapters.

Who Should Use It

• Product designers and engineers in lighting and electrical equipment sectors
• Compliance and safety engineers
• Test houses and quality assurance teams
• Standardization committees and technical assessors

Related Standards

• IEC/EN 60061 series (full dimensional and test requirements)
• IEC 60432-3 and IEC 60598-1 (referenced safety requirements for lamps and luminaires)
