Overview
EN 60061-1:1993/A7:1997 (CLC adoption of IEC 60061-1V:1997) is the European/CLC technical document for lamp caps as part of the wider series on lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeability and safety. This part (Part 1: Lamp caps, Amendment A7) sets the framework for defining lamp cap types, safety considerations and the use of gauges to ensure interchangeability across lighting products. National adoptions (for example, the Slovenian SIST EN edition) implement the amendment in local standards collections.

Key topics
The standard focuses on the technical and practical aspects that ensure safe, interchangeable lamp caps. Key topics include:
- Scope and definitions for lamp caps and related components
- Designation and identification of lamp cap types to support consistent product labelling
- Dimensional and mechanical characteristics related to interchangeability with holders and gauges
- Safety-related requirements to reduce electrical and mechanical hazards in normal use
- Use of gauges for checking interchangeability and conformity between caps and holders
- Marking and documentation requirements to support traceability and safe replacement
- Conformity and assessment principles used by manufacturers and testing laboratories
(These represent the standard’s principal areas without quoting specific clause-level technical values.)
Practical applications
EN 60061-1:1993/A7:1997 is principally used by:
- Lighting product manufacturers for design, production and quality control of lamp caps
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors to verify interchangeability and safety characteristics
- Component suppliers and OEMs to ensure parts match established cap/holder systems
- Regulatory and standards bodies for harmonized national implementation and reference
- Procurement and facility managers specifying compatible and safe lamp replacements
Typical uses include product design validation, incoming inspection with gauges, CE/market conformity preparation, and ensuring compatibility across international lamp/holder systems.
