Overview

EN 60061-4:1992/A5:1998 (aligned with IEC 60061-4:1990/A5:1998) is Part 4 of the EN/IEC 60061 series covering lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeability and safety. This amendment (A5) provides additional guidelines and general information intended to support consistent application of dimensional, safety and interchangeability principles for lamp caps (bases), holders and associated gauges. The national adoption appears as SIST EN 60061-4:1999/A5:1999 (ICS 29.140.10).

Key Topics

The document offers non-normative guidance and background information to clarify and support the normative parts of the 60061 series. Key technical topics typically addressed include:

• Scope and purpose of Part 4 as a guideline document for manufacturers, test labs and standards bodies
• Principles of interchangeability between lamp caps and holders to ensure correct fit and safe operation
• Use of gauges for dimensional control and verification of compliance with cap/holder specifications
• Safety considerations in design and assessment of caps and holders (mechanical fit, electrical insulation and contact integrity)
• Terminology and definitions to harmonize language across the 60061 series and national editions
• Reference and coordination with normative parts of IEC/EN 60061 that define dimensions, tests and requirements

(As an informational part, EN 60061-4 provides explanatory text rather than introducing new mandatory requirements.)

Applications

Who uses this standard and how:

• Lamp and lighting component manufacturers - to interpret interchangeability guidance and to design caps/holders consistent with the IEC/EN series
• Test laboratories and inspection bodies - to apply gauges and verification methods recommended in the guidance when assessing conformity
• Design and compliance engineers - to understand safety and fit principles for product development and risk assessment
• Standards committees and regulators - for harmonizing national standards (e.g., SIST) with international IEC guidance
• Lighting installers and safety auditors - as a reference for understanding compatibility and safe replacement practices

Related Standards

• IEC/EN 60061 series (other parts cover dimensions, tests and specific cap types)
• National adoptions such as SIST EN 60061-4:1999/A5:1999

Keywords: EN 60061-4, IEC 60061, lamp caps and holders, gauges, interchangeability, safety, lamp bases, SIST EN 60061-4.
