- Edison screw or bayonet caps.
The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1988, Amendment 1:1991 and Amendment 2:1999. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition.

IEC 60432-3:2012 specifies the safety requirements for single-capped and double-capped tungsten halogen lamps, having rated voltages of up to 250 V, used for the following applications:
- projection (including cinematograph and still projection),
- photographic (including studio),
- floodlighting,
- special purpose,
- general purpose,
- stage lighting.
This second edition of IEC 60432-3 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002, Amendment 1 (2005) and Amendment 2 (2008). The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
- adapting the cold fill pressure requirements and tests for self-shielded lamps to the state of the technology,

IEC/TR 62732:2012(E) describes how to construct a three-digit code, representing a shorthand string combining the nominal general colour rendering index and the nominal correlated colour temperature. The contents of the corrigendum of December 2012 have been included in this copy.

IEC 62554:2011 specifies sample preparation methods for determining mercury levels in new tubular fluorescent lamps (including single capped, double capped, self-ballasted and CCFL for backlighting) containing 0,1 mg mercury or more. The intended resolution of the methods described in this standard is of the order of 5 %. Mercury level measurement of spent lamps is excluded, as during lamp operation, mercury gradually diffuses into the glass wall and reacts with the glass materials. The test method of this standard does not recover mercury that is diffused into or reacted with or otherwise incorporated irreversibly with the glass wall of discharge tubes. This standard does not contain information on measurement. Measurement is specified in IEC 62321.

IEC 61199:2011 specifies the safety requirements for single-capped fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes of all groups havingcaps according to Table 1. It also specifies the method a manufacturer should use to show compliance with the requirements of this standard on the basis of whole production appraisal in association with his test records on finished products. This method can also be applied for certification purposes. Details of a batch test procedure which can be used to make limited assessment of batches are also given in this standard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1999. It constitutes a technical revision. Main technical changes are the introduction of requirements for high frequency operation, a new temperature measurement position and few new cap-holder fits.

IEC 61167:2011 specifies the performance requirements for metal halide lamps for general lighting purposes. This second edition replaces the first edition published in 1992 and its Amendments 1 (1995), 2 (1997) and 3 (1998). This second edition constitutes a technical revision. Compared to the 1st edition, measurement methods for electrical and photometric parameters are included and safety related requirements are deleted as far as they are now covered by IEC 62035. Modern kind of ignition (e.g. aggregated pulse widths) and operation (low frequency square wave) is added with extensive description of methods of calculation for peak current ratio. At the same time, a review was made on lamps in the market which are fit for standardising, leading to a big number of new lamp data sheets in the range of 20 W up to 250 W lamp power.

IEC 60662:2011 specifies performance requirements for high-pressure sodium vapour lamps for general lighting purposes which comply with the safety requirements of IEC 62035. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1980 and its amendments. It constitues a technical revision. Main items that required development of the 2nd edition of IEC 60662 are:
- restriction to performance requirements. Safety requirements are given in IEC 62035: Discharge lamps (excluding fluorescent lamps) - Safety specifications;
- introduction of a test device for ignition;
- split of the lamp data sheets which make use of the test device and those which do not;
- provisions for measurement during starting, measurement of electrical and photometrical characteristics and tests for lumen maintenance and life;
- general review e.g. of maximum lamp outlines and alignment of data;
- new order of data sheets by wattage.

IEC/TR 60887:2010 describes a system of nomenclature that provides designations of the glass bulbs used as envelopes for electric lamps. The application of such designations is directed towards the descriptions of finished lamps. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2003. It constitutes a technical revision. The reason for this new edition is the addition of a new bulb type designation and drawing.

IEC/TR 61341:2010 describes the method of measuring and specifying the centre beam intensity and the associated beam angle(s) of reflector lamps. It applies to:
- incandescent,
- tungsten halogen,
- gas-discharge and LED based reflector lamps for general lighting purposes. It does not apply to lamps for special purposes such as projection lamps. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1994 and constitutes a technical revision. Due to the increasing use of reflector equipped LED lamps, the scope has been broadened and measurement conditions been included in order to take account of these lamps. Further, for easier understanding of the relation between the different axis and different intensities, two figures have been added. The luminous intensity distribution shall be reported instead of the centre beam intensity, if the latter is very low ("butterfly" distributions).

IEC 61231:2010 gives the rules for the international lamp coding system and covers all lamp categories, excluding vehicle lamps. Coding for the main lamp types is specified and, for the others, will follow by amendments to this standard as appropriate. This first edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 61231, published as a technical specification. It constitutes a technical revision, of which the main changes are indicated below: - introduction of LED modules (Subclause 5.8).

This International Standard describes the method of measuring, evaluating and specifying the characteristics of fluorescent ultraviolet lamps that are used in appliances for tanning purposes. It includes specific requirements regarding the marking of such lamps. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993 and its Amendment 1 (1996). In this second edition, an equivalency code for the lamps is introduced. This equivalency code characterises the spectral energy distribution and is to be applied when replacing lamps in tanning equipment.
