Culots de lampes et douilles ainsi que calibres pour le contrôle de l'interchangeabilité et de la sécurité -- Partie 4: Guide et information générale

Edition consolidée incorporant les feuilles de la première édition et ses compléments A, B, C et D en vigueur au 31 décembre 1996.

Vznožki in okovi žarnic in sijalk skupaj s kalibri za kontrolo medsebojne zamenljivosti in varnosti - 4. del: Smernice in splošne informacije (IEC 60061-4:1990)

Na voljo je sistem kodiranja, ki se lahko uporablja za dodeljevanje oznak vznožkom in okovom žarnic. Črke, številke in simbole, ki sestavljajo te oznake, se lahko smiselno dodeljujejo. Sistem je mednarodno prepoznaven in ga je treba čim pogosteje uporabljati. Očitno je, da obstaja razmerje med vznožkom in okovom žarnice, ki spada zraven. To razmerje se odraža v ustrezni oznaki, ki je delno uporabljena za oba izdelka. Posledično ta sistem omogoča primerjavo vznožkov in okovov različnih proizvajalcev in, kjer so ti zamenljivi, dodelitev iste oznake. Ta sistem je odličen tudi za nadzor širjenja oblikovnih zasnov. Dodeljevanje oznak novim tipom vznožkov in okovov je naloga strokovnjakov skupine EPC za IEC pododbora 34B. Cilj tega sistem je ustvariti kratke in lahko izgovorljive dodeljene oznake, kar bo olajšalo uporabo v praksi. Ta sistem temelji na več poddelih, ki jih sestavljajo črke, številke in simboli, od katerih ima vsak del svoje značilnosti. Posameznemu vznožku in okovu se dodeli samo ena oznaka. Ta sistem ne vsebuje oznak materialov. Deli oznake so združeni neposredno skupaj brez presledkov za druge ločitvene oznake.

Overview

EN 60061-4:1992 (consolidated edition incorporating the 1990 first edition plus Supplements A–D valid 1996-12-31) is the CLC/CENELEC part that provides guidelines and general information on lamp caps (bulb bases), holders and the gauges used to control their interchangeability and safety. It corresponds to IEC 60061-4:1990 and serves as a guidance document supporting the dimensional and safety parts of the EN/IEC 60061 series for lighting components.

Key topics

This part does not set the dimensional limits itself but explains the principles and practical background relevant to the series. Main topics covered include:

• Scope and purpose of the part within the EN/IEC 60061 series (guidance and general information).
• Terminology and definitions commonly used for lamp caps, holders and related gauges to ensure consistent interpretation.
• Principles of interchangeability, explaining how caps and holders are standardized so lamps can be replaced safely and reliably.
• Safety considerations, including general guidance on mechanical and electrical safety aspects relevant to lamp caps and holders.
• Role and use of gauges for assessing interchangeability and conformity with dimensional and safety requirements.
• Reference to related technical parts of EN/IEC 60061 that contain specific dimensions, test methods and performance requirements.

Applications

EN 60061-4:1992 is a practical guidance resource for stakeholders involved in the design, manufacturing, testing and procurement of lighting components:

• Manufacturers and designers of lamp caps and holders use it to understand the intent behind interchangeability and safety rules.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies apply the guidance when using gauges and interpreting test outcomes.
• Regulatory and standards committees refer to it when harmonizing national or regional requirements with the EN/IEC 60061 series.
• Procurement, maintenance and facility managers benefit from understanding interchangeability and safe replacement practices for lamps and holders.

Related standards

• EN/IEC 60061 (other parts) - dimensional specifications, tests and markings for lamp caps and holders.
• IEC 60061-4:1990 - the original international edition on which this part is based.

Notes

• The consolidated edition incorporates the original 1990 edition plus Supplements A–D (valid at end of 1996).
• National-language publications (for example the Slovene SIST EN 60061-4:1999) reproduce this guidance; always check the applicable national adoption for legal status.

Keywords: EN 60061-4, IEC 60061-4, lamp caps and holders, gauges, interchangeability, safety, bulb bases, CLC, CENELEC, lighting standards.
