Overview
EN 60838-2-1:1996/A2:2004 (IEC 60838-2-1:1994/A2:2004) is the CLC/CENELEC amendment addressing miscellaneous lampholders - Part 2: Particular requirements - Section 1: Lampholders S14. This document updates the European adoption of the IEC specification for S14 lampholders and includes the corrigendum of May 2013 in the published copy. Amendment A2 was approved by CENELEC on 2004-10-01 and amends the base EN 60838-2-1:1996 text.
Key topics and requirements
The amendment focuses on particular safety and construction requirements for lampholders S14. Key technical points in the amendment include:
- Clearance and creepage:
- The clearance between live parts of the lampholder and accessible metal parts of the cap shall be not less than 1.5 mm (NOTE: for Japan the minimum is 1.7 mm).
- For uncovered metal retention springs, a minimum clearance of 3 mm to the mounting surface is required.
- Administrative and normative context:
- This amendment A2 modifies EN 60838-2-1:1996 and was developed by IEC SC 34B (Lamp caps and holders).
- The document exists in English, French and German official versions; translations by CENELEC members have equivalent status.
(Only technical details given in the amendment are summarized above; the full standard contains the comprehensive set of construction, testing and safety clauses applicable to S14 lampholders.)
Applications and who uses it
This standard is intended for professionals involved in design, manufacture, testing and regulatory compliance of lamp fittings and accessories:
- Product designers and manufacturers of S14 lampholders - to ensure compliant mechanical and electrical clearances.
- Test laboratories and quality assurance teams - to verify clearance/creepage and spring-mounting requirements.
- Standards and compliance officers / national electrotechnical committees - for national adoption and conformity assessment.
- Procurement and specification writers - to reference in technical specifications for lighting components.
Using EN 60838-2-1:1996/A2:2004 helps reduce electrical safety risks related to arcing and unintended contact by specifying minimum separation distances and requirements for exposed metal parts.
