Overview
EN 60061-2:1993/A19:1999 (adopted by CLC) is the European adoption of IEC 60061-2 with Amendment A19, covering lampholders - the components that receive and retain lamp caps and provide the electrical connection. The document forms part of the IEC 60061 series on lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeability and safety. For the full, authoritative text and the latest updates you must subscribe to the IEC 60061 database.
What this standard covers
- The standard addresses the design and control of lampholders to ensure safe, reliable mechanical and electrical connection with specified lamp caps.
- It defines the purpose and use of gauges used to check interchangeability and compliance.
- Amendment A19 provides updates and corrections to the original Part 2 text (IEC 60061-2:1969/A19:1999), as adopted in the EN implementation.
Key topics and requirements
While the full technical provisions are in the official text, the standard typically covers:
- Interchangeability controls - requirements and gauge methods to ensure lamps and lampholders mate correctly.
- Safety considerations - guidance to prevent electric shock, overheating, and mechanical failure during normal use.
- Mechanical and dimensional characteristics - prescribed shapes, sizes and retention features that determine compatibility with lamp caps.
- Testing and inspection - use of physical gauges and test procedures to verify conformity.
- Marking and documentation - identification and information necessary for safe installation and maintenance.
(Note: consult the official EN/IEC document for exact dimensions, tolerance values and test procedures.)
Applications and users
This standard is essential for:
- Lamp and lampholder manufacturers designing products intended for commercial distribution and assured interchangeability.
- Product designers and electrical engineers ensuring compatibility and safety in lighting fixtures and luminaires.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies performing type and production testing using specified gauges.
- Procurement, compliance and safety officers verifying products meet accepted standards for market access.
- Installers and maintenance personnel who rely on standardized interfaces for safe replacement of lamps.
