Overview

SIST EN 60061-4:1999/A7:2003, issued by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC), provides guidelines and general information regarding lamp caps and holders along with the gauges used to ensure interchangeability and safety. This standard is part of the wider IEC 60061 series, which covers lamp caps, holders, and associated control tools. It serves as a crucial reference for manufacturers, engineers, and quality controllers working in the lighting industry to maintain consistent standards across products.

The document highlights the importance of standardized components to guarantee compatibility and safety in lighting applications. It ensures that lamp caps and holders fit together correctly and meet safety norms to prevent electrical or mechanical hazards.

Key Topics

• Lamp Caps and Holders: Specifications and requirements for various types of lamp sockets and caps commonly used in lighting industry.
• Interchangeability Control: Use of gauges and measurement tools to verify that lamp caps and holders meet dimensional accuracy, ensuring seamless compatibility.
• Safety Guidelines: Recommendations and general safety information to prevent risks such as electrical shock, short circuits, or mechanical failures.
• Standard Compliance: Explanation of how compliance with EN 60061-4 supports product uniformity and adherence to international safety norms.
• Part of IEC 60061 Series: This document supplements other parts focusing on physical and electrical standards for lamps and their fittings.

Applications

• Manufacturing Processes: Lamp cap and holder producers can implement these guidelines to ensure their products are interchangeable and safe for consumers.
• Quality Assurance: Manufacturers and testing laboratories utilize the prescribed gauges for dimensional inspections and functional verification.
• Product Design and Development: Designers rely on these standards to create compatible lighting components that meet cross-border regulatory requirements.
• Safety Regulation Compliance: Businesses ensure that their lighting equipment complies with established safety thresholds, reducing liability and increasing market access.
• Aftermarket and Replacement Parts: Facilitates production of compatible replacement components that fit existing lighting fixtures without compatibility issues.

Related Standards

• IEC 60061 Series: The foundational international standard series for lamp caps, holders, and control gauges covering dimensions, testing, and safety aspects.
• EN 60061-1 to EN 60061-7: Additional parts covering detailed specifications for lamp caps and holders of different types including electrical, mechanical, and safety requirements.
• IEC Safety Standards for Electrical Equipment: Broader safety standards addressing the safe design and operation of electrical devices, complementing lamp-related standards.
• National Variants (e.g., SIST EN 60061-4): Country-specific versions of the standard, adapted to meet local regulation and language requirements.
