Overview
EN 60838-2-1:1996/A1:1998 (aligned with IEC 60838-2-1:1994/A1:1998) defines the particular requirements for S14 lampholders. It is a European adoption (CLC) of the IEC amendment A1 (1998) and applies to miscellaneous lampholders used with S14 lamp caps. The document was prepared by IEC TC 34, subcommittee 34B (Lamp caps and holders) and adopted following a parallel vote. Keywords: S14 lampholders, EN 60838-2-1, IEC 60838, lampholder standards, lampholders S14.
Key Topics
- Scope and definitions specific to S14 lampholders (Part 2: Particular requirements - Section 1).
- Mechanical and electrical requirements for lampholders S14 (as part of the Part 2 series for particular lampholder types).
- Switched lampholders: the amendment adds a durability requirement for switches that only function to provide protection during lamp insertion or removal - they shall be operated in a normal manner for 1 000 switch movements at a rate of 30 movements per minute.
- Testing and conformity: the standard sets out test conditions and performance criteria to verify safety and reliable function of S14 lampholders (mechanical endurance, electrical safety, and switch operation as amended).
- Harmonization and adoption: indicates the European standard follows the IEC text and national adoptions (example: Slovenian SIST EN adoption).
Applications
This standard is intended for professionals involved with lamp caps and holders and is practical for:
- Manufacturers and designers of S14 lampholders and related lighting equipment - to ensure products meet European/IEC safety and performance expectations.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors - to apply the specified tests and durability checks (including the switched-lampholder switch-operation test).
- Procurement and compliance teams - for specifying accepted lampholder types in lighting installations and components.
- Regulatory and standards bodies - for harmonizing national standards with IEC/EN requirements.
Related Standards
- IEC 60838 series (Part 2 contains particular requirements for specific lampholder types).
- National adoptions of EN/IEC texts (e.g., SIST EN 60838-2-1:1999/A1:2000).
This standard is essential for ensuring electrical safety, mechanical durability, and consistent testing of S14 lampholders used in lighting products and installations.
