SIST EN 2240-002:2010 is the Slovenian adoption of EN 2240-002:2009, published by SIST for aerospace electric equipment and systems. It specifies the main characteristics of incandescent lamps for aerospace applications, so engineers, buyers, and quality teams can identify the lamp family and compare variants on the same basis. The standard is meant to be used with EN 2240-001 and the associated product standards.
What does SIST EN 2240-002:2010 specify?
SIST EN 2240-002:2010 enumerates and specifies the main characteristics of incandescent lamps for aerospace applications. In practice, it is a reference document for identifying lamp variants rather than a test or installation manual.
The document is organized into four clauses:
- Scope
- Normative references
- Electrical and photometrical characteristics
- Forms and positions of filaments
Clause 3 is the main data section. Clause 4 gives the filament notation and the figure set used to describe filament geometry.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 2240-002:2010?
Clause 3 links each EN 2240 product standard code to a defined set of lamp characteristics. The table gives nominal voltage, nominal current, nominal luminous flux, cap, and bulb appearance. In practice, this is the core selection data used when matching a lamp to a circuit, a fitting, and an optical need.
Clause 3 also shows that some lamp variants refer the luminous-flux value back to the product standard. That means this part gives the common family structure, while the associated product standard carries the detailed value for that specific lamp.
The table covers a wide range of lamp codes, including variants with different voltages, currents, caps, and bulb appearances. For a reader, the important point is that the code alone is not enough - the listed electrical and photometrical data must also match the intended application.
Clause 3 distinguishes cap types such as BA9s/14, BA15s/19, BA15d/19, SX6s, S5,7s/8, BAY15s/19, BA7s/11, BA20d, GX4, GX2,54, GX1,27, and others shown in the table. In practice, this is how the lamp is matched to the holder and the equipment design.
Clause 4 defines the filament notation used in the figures:
- C means Coiled
- CC means Coiled Coil
- X means Light centre
The figures in Clause 4 show the forms and positions of filaments. This matters for drawing interpretation and for making sure the lamp geometry is described consistently across product documentation.
The scope also states that this standard is to be used together with EN 2240-001 and the associated product standards. In practice, that means this part does not stand alone - it is one layer in the EN 2240 lamp family documentation.
What terms does SIST EN 2240-002:2010 define?
Nominal voltage - The voltage value assigned to a lamp variant in Table 1 for identification and selection.
Nominal current - The current value associated with the lamp variant under its nominal conditions.
Nominal luminous flux - The light-output value used to describe the lamp’s photometric performance.
Cap - The lamp base or fitting type, such as BA9s/14 or BA15s/19, that determines how the lamp mounts in equipment.
Bulb appearance - The visual finish of the bulb, such as clear, silvered, frosted, or without.
C - The symbol for a Coiled filament form.
CC - The symbol for a Coiled Coil filament form.
X - The symbol for a Light centre filament position.
Who uses SIST EN 2240-002:2010?
SIST EN 2240-002:2010 is used by aerospace lamp manufacturers, equipment designers, and purchasing teams that need to specify incandescent lamps for aerospace applications. Quality and conformity teams use it to check that the selected lamp code, electrical data, cap, and bulb appearance match the expected product definition.
It is also useful for technical document control, product comparison, and supplier communication. Because it belongs to the aerospace electric equipment and systems field, it is most relevant where lamp interchangeability and consistent specification matter.
What changed in SIST EN 2240-002:2010 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 2240-002:2010 corresponds to EN 2240-002:2009.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 2240-002:2010?
EN 2240-001 is the normative reference named in the document. It provides the technical specification that this part is used with.
The document also refers to the associated product standards. These carry the detailed definition for each lamp variant and complete the information given in Table 1.
What does the SIST EN 2240-002:2010 document contain?
The document contains one main data table and one set of filament diagrams. Table 1 lists the electrical and photometrical characteristics for the EN 2240 product standard codes, which is the part most users consult when selecting a lamp.
Clause 4 includes Figures 1 to 7, which show the forms and positions of filaments using the symbols C, CC, and X. These figures support consistent interpretation of lamp geometry in design documents and product definitions.
Overall, the document is a concise reference standard. It is used for specification, part selection, drawing control, and checking that a lamp variant matches the associated product standard.
