20.5.1 Amend item b), 2) to commence as follows:
2) for series-connected lamps other than those in sealed chains, replace …
Item e), replace the note by:
NOTE For the purpose of this subclause, a fused lamp is a lamp designed so as to break the circuit in the event of an
overload either by means of a separate fuse incorporated within the lamp or by any other means e.g. a special filament.
Such fuses or special filaments are not considered integral components (see 0.5.1 of EN 60598-1).
20.6 Construction
20.6.1 Replace the text of this subclause by:
Edison screw lampholders E14 and E27 shall meet the requirements of EN 60238:1998.
Edison screw lampholders E5 and E10 and similar small lampholders of the push-in type shall
meet the appropriate requirements of EN 60238:1998 as modified by Annex ZB.
Edison screw lampholders larger than E10 with non-metallic screw threads shall meet the
requirements of 12.1 of EN 60238:1998.
NOTE E10 and small lampholders may have screw threads of insulating material.
In lighting chains fitted with parallel connected lamps, E27 and B22 lampholders with insulation
piercing contacts shall meet the requirements of this section. In addition, E27 lampholders with
insulation piercing contacts shall meet the requirements of 12.1 of EN 60238:1998.
Bayonet lampholders shall meet the requirements of IEC 61184.
In lighting chains where non-standardized lamps (e.g. lamps of the push-in type) are used, the
lamps are regarded as parts of the lighting chain and tested accordingly.
20.6.6 Replace the text of this subclause by:
Compliance with the mechanical strength requirements of 4.13 of EN 60598-1 for E14 and E27
lampholders incorporated in lighting chains shall be checked by the tests given in Clause 15 of
EN 60238:1998.
E5 and E10 and similar small lampholders of push-in type shall be checked by the tests given in
Clause 15 of EN 60238:1998 as modified by Annex ZB.
The tests are made on three samples of the lampholder without lamps inserted. After the test, the
relevant compliance requirements of 4.13 of EN 60598-1 shall be met.
