Lampholders for tubular fluorescent lamps and starterholders
Lampholders for tubular fluorescent lamps and starterholders
This International Standard states the technical and dimensional requirements for lampholders for tubular fluorescent lamps and for starterholders, and the methods of test to be used in determining the safety and the fit of the lamps in the lampholders and the starters in the starterholders. This standard covers independent lampholders and lampholders for building-in, used with tubular fluorescent lamps provided with caps as listed in Annex A, and independent starterholders and starterholders for building-in, used with starters in accordance with IEC 60155, intended for use in a.c. circuits where the working voltage does not exceed 1 000 V r.m.s. This standard also covers lampholders for single-capped tubular fluorescent lamps integrated in an outer shell and dome similar to Edison screw lampholders (e.g. for G23 and G24 capped lamps). Such lampholders are tested in accordance with the following clauses and subclauses of IEC 60238: 8.4; 8.5; 8.6; 9.3; 10.7; 11; 12.2; 12.5; 12.6; 12.7; 13; 15.3; 15.4; 15.5 and 15.9. This standard also covers lampholders which are integral with a luminaire or intended to be built into appliances. It covers the requirements for the lampholder only. For all other requirements, such as protection against electric shock in the area of the terminals, the requirements of the relevant appliance standard are to be observed and tested after building into the appropriate equipment, when that equipment is tested according to its own standard. Lampholders for use by luminaire manufacturers only are not for retail sale. This standard also applies, as far as is reasonable, to lampholders and starterholders other than the types explicitly mentioned above and to lamp connectors. Where the term "holder" is used in the standard, both lampholders and starterholders are intended.

Okovi za cevaste fluorescenčne sijalke in starterski okovi
Ta mednarodni standard navaja tehnične zahteve in zahteve glede dimenzij za okove za cevaste fluorescenčne sijalke in starterske okove, preskusne metode, ki naj se uporabljajo pri določanju varnosti in prileganju sijalk v okove in starterjev v starterske okove. Ta standard zajema samostojne in vgradne okove za sijalke, ki se uporabljajo za cevaste fluorescenčne sijalke z vznožki, kot je navedeno v dodatku A, in samostojne ter vgradne starterske okove, ki se uporabljajo s starterji v skladu z IEC 60155 za uporabo v tokokrogih z izmeničnim tokom, kjer delovna napetost ne presega 1000 V r.m.s. Ta standard zajema tudi okove za cevaste fluorescentne sijalke z enim vznožkom, vgrajene v zunanje ogrodje in kupolo, podobne Edisonovim navojnim okovom za sijalke (npr. za sijalke z vznožkom G23 in G24). Taki okovi za sijalke se preskušajo v skladu z naslednjimi točkami in podtočkami IEC 60238: 8.4; 8.5; 8.6; 9.3; 10.7; 11; 12.2; 12.5; 12.6; 12.7; 13; 15.3; 15.4; 15.5 in 15.9. Ta standard prav tako zajema okove za sijalke, ki so vgrajeni s svetilko ali so namenjeni vgradnji v gospodinjske aparate. Zajema samo zahteve za okove za sijalke. Za vse druge zahteve, kot je zaščita pred elektrošokom v območju terminalov, se upoštevajo in preskušajo zahteve ustreznih standardov za aparate po vgradnji v primerno opremo, kadar se ta oprema preskuša v skladu s svojim standardom. Okovi za sijalke, ki jih uporabljajo samo proizvajalci svetilk, niso namenjeni maloprodaji. Ta standard velja tudi, kolikor je smiselno, za okove za sijalke in starterske okove drugih vrst, ki niso izrecno navedene zgoraj, in za konektorje sijalk. Kjer je v standardu uporabljen izraz »okov«, so mišljeni okovi za sijalke in starterski okovi.

6 Classification
Replace the existing Subclause 6.1 by the following:
6.1 According to protection against electric shock:
− unenclosed lampholders;
− enclosed lampholders;
− independent lampholders;
− partly reinforced insulated lampholders;
− enclosed reinforced insulated lampholders.
NOTE Where a lampholder is used with a working voltage of 50 % or less of its maximum rating, it may be
regarded as equivalent to a reinforced insulated lampholder.
7 Marking
Add the following new note to Subclause 7.1 below item “b) type reference”:
NOTE Available technical documentation of the manufacturer like printed catalogues or online catalogues should
allow a clear identification of a lampholder either by a unique catalogue number or by an identifying reference on
the holder, specifying the essential characteristic features and the basic design of the product supplemented by a
clear description. Variations of the basic design like for example different cable length, fixing means, colours etc.,
which do not affect safety or performance of the lampholder, may be disregarded in the type reference marked on
the product. Variations included in the type testing procedure are listed in the corresponding test reports.
Replace, in Subclause 7.2, the fourth paragraph (“Lampholders and starterholders
complying…”), the note and the fifth paragraph by the following new text:
Enclosed reinforced insulated lampholders offer an adequate level of protection for use in
luminaires where they are accessible in normal use. This information shall be indicated in the
manufacturer’s catalogue ore the like.
For partly reinforced insulated lampholders, sufficient creepage distances and clearances to
outer accessible surfaces will require additional protection to some parts of the lampholder by
the luminaire design or by use of additional attachment(s) or cover(s). This information shall
be indicated in the manufacturer’s catalogue or the like.
8 Protection against electric shock
Replace, in Subclause 8.2, the third paragraph by the following:
In the case of side entry lampholders for linear G5, GX5 and G13 capped lamps, compliance
is checked:
