Overview

EN 60061-2:1993/A31:2004 is the CENELEC amendment to the European adoption of IEC 60061‑2 (Part 2: Lampholders). The standard addresses lampholders - the sockets and mechanical/electrical interfaces that receive lamp caps - and the gauges used to control interchangeability and safety. Amendment A31 (approved 2004‑09‑01) updates EN 60061‑2:1993 to align with IEC 60061‑2:1969/A31:2004. To access the full and current technical text you must subscribe to the IEC 60061 Database.

Key topics and requirements

The amendment and underlying standard focus on requirements that ensure safe, reliable and interchangeable lampholders. Main technical topics include:

• Interchangeability control - specification of interfaces between lamp caps and lampholders so lamps from different manufacturers fit and operate correctly.
• Safety requirements - mechanical and electrical safety aspects to reduce shock, fire and mechanical failure risks.
• Gauges and dimensions - use of control gauges to verify critical dimensions and clearances for consistent manufacturing and inspection.
• Testing and conformity - specified tests and inspection methods for lampholders and gauges to demonstrate compliance.
• Marking and documentation - requirements for identification, ratings and instructions to support safe installation and use.
• Regulatory alignment - CENELEC adoption process and national implementation dates (amendment implemented by 2005‑06‑01; conflicting national standards withdrawn by 2007‑09‑01).

Note: the public extract does not include specific dimensional values or test procedures; consult the IEC 60061 Database for full technical details.

Applications

EN 60061‑2/A31 is used to:

• Design and manufacture lampholders and related lighting components.
• Create inspection procedures using control gauges for production quality control.
• Verify compliance during third‑party testing and certification for safety approvals.
• Support procurement specifications and conformity assessment for lighting fixtures and replacement lamps.
• Guide regulators and standards committees managing electrical safety and interoperability.

Who uses this standard

• Lighting product manufacturers and component suppliers
• Electrical/electronic test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
• Product designers and R&D teams in lighting and luminaire industries
• Regulatory bodies and technical committees (CENELEC/IEC members)
• Purchasing and quality assurance departments

Related standards

• IEC/EN 60061 series (lamp caps, holders and gauges for interchangeability and safety) - Part 2 focuses on lampholders.
