SIST EN 60061-4:1999 is a Slovenian standard published by Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST). It gives guidelines and general information for lamp caps and holders together with gauges used to control interchangeability and safety, so users can apply the lamp-cap/holder gauging system in a consistent way. It is the Slovenian version of IEC 60061-4:1990.

What does SIST EN 60061-4:1999 specify?

SIST EN 60061-4:1999 is Part 4 of the lamp-cap and holder series. Its scope is guidance and general information for the use of lamp caps, holders and the gauges associated with interchangeability and safety.

The standard is a consolidated edition. It incorporates the sheets of the first edition from 1990 together with supplements A, B, C and D that were valid on 1996-12-31. In practice, that tells readers they are using the combined published version rather than a single isolated sheet.

The document is organized as a reference part for the series rather than as a product-specific specification. For readers, that means it is meant to support correct interpretation and use of the gauging system across the lamp-cap and holder family.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 60061-4:1999?

SIST EN 60061-4:1999 focuses on how the lamp-cap and holder gauging system should be understood and used. The main practical point is that interchangeability and safety are controlled through the gauges named in the series, so the document supports consistent checking rather than ad hoc judgment.

• It provides guidelines and general information. In practice, users consult it to understand the gauging system before applying the related cap and holder data.
• It links lamp caps, holders and gauges. In practice, this helps manufacturers and test laboratories check whether a lamp and holder combination is intended to fit together.
• It is about interchangeability. In practice, that means the focus is on compatibility between separately made parts, which matters for design, procurement and quality control.
• It is about safety. In practice, the same gauging approach is used to avoid unsafe combinations of cap and holder parts.
• It is a consolidated edition of the first edition and later supplements. In practice, users can treat it as the combined state of the document up to the supplements named in the scope.
• It sits in Part 4 of the series. In practice, readers use it alongside the other parts of the lamp-cap and holder standard family when they need the related technical detail.

Who uses SIST EN 60061-4:1999?

SIST EN 60061-4:1999 is used by people who need to specify, make, check or buy lamp caps, holders and their gauges. Typical users are manufacturers, test and inspection laboratories, quality managers, technical buyers and product engineers in the lighting field.

These readers use it when they need to decide which gauges apply, verify that components are interchangeable, or document that a cap and holder system is being handled according to the same published guidance.

What changed in SIST EN 60061-4:1999 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 60061-4:1999 is a consolidated edition of IEC 60061-4:1990. It incorporates the sheets of the first edition and supplements A, B, C and D valid on 1996-12-31.

What does the SIST EN 60061-4:1999 document contain?

The document contains the front matter identifying the standard, its title, its ICS classification and its publication details. It also states the relationship to IEC 60061-4:1990 and explains that the edition is consolidated from the first-edition sheets and later supplements.

Its substance is guidance and general information for the lamp caps and holders gauging system. For users, that means the document supports interpretation, application and consistent control of interchangeability and safety in the lamp-cap and holder family.
