Overview

EN 61549:2003 - Miscellaneous lamps (identical to IEC 61549:2003) is a CENELEC/CLC European standard that defines the scope and baseline requirements for lamp types that are not covered by other existing IEC lamp standards. It consolidates national adoption and replaces earlier editions (EN 61549:1996 + A1:1997 + A2:2001). The standard is relevant to a range of non‑standard or specialised lamp products used in lighting, including items related to incandescent, fluorescent and discharge lamp families as indicated by its ICS codes.

Key topics and requirements

EN 61549 sets out high‑level requirements applicable to miscellaneous lamps. Core topics typically covered include:

  • Scope and definitions - clarification of which lamp types fall under “miscellaneous lamps” and related terminology.
  • Classification - how non‑standard lamps are categorized for regulatory and testing purposes.
  • Safety and performance principles - baseline expectations for safe operation and functional performance (electrical safety, durability and luminous behaviour are addressed at a standard level).
  • Marking and documentation - requirements for product identification, rated data and user information to ensure correct application and safe use.
  • Test and conformity considerations - reference to appropriate test methods and conformity assessment routes when specific IEC standards do not exist for a lamp variant.

Note: EN 61549 functions as a framework standard. For many parameters, it refers to established IEC test methods or to more specific standards when those exist.

Applications

EN 61549 is practical for organizations and professionals involved in:

  • Lamp manufacturers developing or marketing specialised or non‑standard lamps that fall outside other IEC standards.
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies assessing conformity and safety of atypical lamp designs.
  • Regulators and procurement teams specifying minimum safety and marking requirements for atypical lighting products.
  • Lighting designers and OEMs specifying bespoke lamps for industrial, commercial or scientific applications where common lamp standards don’t apply.

Adopting EN 61549 helps ensure consistent safety, performance expectations and harmonised national implementation across CENELEC members.
