Overview

EN 60061-4:1992/A1:1995 (adopted by CLC) is Part 4 of the EN/IEC 60061 series covering lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeability and safety. Part 4 provides guidelines and general information (including Amendment A1) that explain the intent, scope and practical application of the technical requirements given in other parts of the IEC 60061 series. The standard is mirrored in national publications (e.g., SIST EN 60061-4) and the full, up-to-date text is available through the IEC 60061 database subscription.

Key Topics

This part focuses on explanatory and organizational material rather than prescriptive test details. Key topics include:

• Purpose and scope of the lamp caps, holders and gauges framework within the IEC/EN 60061 series.
• Guidance on interchangeability, explaining how dimensional compatibility and standardized caps support cross-manufacturer fit and use.
• Safety considerations related to mechanical, thermal and electrical aspects of caps and holders, presented as general guidance.
• Use and interpretation of gauges for control of manufacturing tolerances and conformity checks.
• Terminology and classification used across the IEC 60061 series to ensure consistent communication among manufacturers and laboratories.
• References to related parts of IEC 60061 that contain the detailed dimensional, testing and marking requirements.

Applications

EN 60061-4 is a practical guidance resource for stakeholders involved in design, production, testing and regulation of lighting accessories. Typical users include:

• Lamp and holder manufacturers ensuring products meet interchangeability and safety expectations.
• Product designers and engineers integrating standardized caps and sockets into lighting fixtures.
• Quality and compliance laboratories applying gauges and interpreting conformity with the IEC/EN 60061 series.
• Specifiers, installers and maintenance professionals who require understanding of compatibility and safe use.
• Regulators and standards committees referencing the guidelines when developing national implementations or amendments.

Related Standards

• EN/IEC 60061 series - other parts contain the detailed dimensional specifications, gauges, test methods and marking requirements that Part 4 explains.
• National adoptions (e.g., SIST EN 60061-4) reflect the same guidance with local status information.
