Overview

EN 61184:2017/A1:2022 (adopted from IEC 61184:2017/AMD1:2019) is the CENELEC amendment for bayonet lampholders (lamp caps and holders). It updates the 2017 European standard to reflect technical clarifications and test-method alignments related to safety, insulation coordination and resistance to heat, fire and tracking. This amendment was approved on 24 August 2022 and is implemented across CENELEC members as a national standard.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Applies to bayonet lampholders and lamp caps (ICS 29.140.10). The amendment clarifies test and insulation requirements rather than changing fundamental scope.
• Ball pressure test (resistance to heat, fire and tracking):
  • Aligns IEC 61184 with IEC 60695-10-2 by removing the alternative indentation diameter calculation method previously allowed. Tests should follow the current IEC 60695-10-2 approach.
• Creepage distances and clearances:
  • Based on IEC 60664-1:2007, the amendment adds explicit text that for glass, ceramics or other inorganic insulating materials which do not track, creepage distances need not be greater than their associated clearances for insulation coordination. This affects the values presented in Table 8 of the standard.
• Editorial and test clarifications:
  • Deletion of a paragraph in clause 20.1 concerning depth-of-impression guidance, reflecting harmonization with updated test standards.
• Regulatory dates:
  • National implementation deadline and withdrawal of conflicting national standards are specified in the CENELEC foreword (implementation by 2023-05-24; withdrawal deadlines thereafter).

Applications and who uses this standard

EN 61184:2017/A1:2022 is used by:

• Manufacturers and designers of bayonet lampholders and lamp caps to ensure product safety and market compliance.
• Test laboratories performing heat, fire and tracking tests and validating creepage/clearance requirements.
• Compliance and certification bodies verifying conformity with CENELEC/IEC requirements for lighting components.
• Regulatory authorities and procurement teams specifying safe lampholders for installations and equipment, including ELV (extra-low voltage) applications where creepage matters. Practical benefits include consistent safety testing, clearer rules for inorganic insulating materials (glass/ceramics), and harmonized test methods for durability and fire resistance.

Related standards

• IEC 61184 (base standard)
• IEC 60695-10-2 (ball pressure test / resistance to heat and fire)
• IEC 60664-1 (insulation coordination - creepage and clearance guidance)
• CENELEC adoption and national standards references (EN 61184:2017 and amendment A1)
