Overview

EN 60061-4:1992/A8:2003 is the CENELEC amendment to IEC 60061-4 and provides guidelines and general information for lamp caps, holders and the use of gauges to control interchangeability and safety. This document (Part 4 of the IEC 60061 series) explains practical guidance for manufacturers, test laboratories and national committees on how to apply the requirements in the lamp cap/holder family of standards. The amendment A8 (2003) was approved by CENELEC and is identical to IEC 60061-4:1990/A8:2003. For full, up-to-date normative text, subscribe to the IEC 60061 database.

Key Topics

• Scope and purpose: guidance on the correct interpretation and application of interchangeability and safety provisions for lamp caps and holders.
• Use of gauges: information on gauges used to verify dimensional compatibility between lamp caps and holders and to support conformity assessment.
• Interchangeability principles: guidance on ensuring lamps can be safely and reliably exchanged among compatible holders without compromising performance or safety.
• Safety considerations: explanatory material on electrical and mechanical safety aspects when selecting or testing caps and holders.
• National implementation: status and timing for CENELEC adoption - amendment approved 2003-06-01; implementation and withdrawal dates stipulated for member countries.
• Multilingual publication: official versions in English, French and German; national translations have equivalent status when notified.

Applications

Who uses EN 60061-4 and why:

• Lamp and lighting component manufacturers - to align product design and test procedures with recognized guidelines for caps and holders.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors - to apply gauge-based checks and to interpret interchangeability/safety requirements consistently.
• Lighting designers and specifiers - to ensure selected lamp/holder combinations meet interoperability and safety expectations.
• Standards committees and regulators - for harmonized national adoption and to update national standards in line with CENELEC decisions.
• Procurement and quality teams - to validate incoming lamp products and fixtures against established interchangeability practices.

Related standards

• IEC/EN 60061 series (lamp caps and holders) - Part 4 covers guidelines and general information; other parts contain normative dimensional and test requirements.
• CENELEC/CEN implementation documents - national versions and endorsements under the CENELEC internal regulations.
