Overview
IEC 60630:1994/AMD7:2014 – Amendment 7 to the international standard IEC 60630 – specifies the maximum lamp outlines for incandescent lamps, including tungsten-halogen lamps. This amendment integrates corrigenda from 1993 and 1996 to provide the latest detailed mechanical dimensions ensuring standardization in lamp design. It serves as a crucial reference for lamp manufacturers, luminaire designers, and quality control professionals aiming to comply with global electrotechnical standards.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) developed this amendment to maintain uniformity in incandescent lamp shapes and sizes, enabling interchangeability and compatibility across various global markets. It precisely defines the allowable maximum outlines of incandescent lamps concerning bulb diameters and overall lengths, referencing established lamp cap types such as E27, B22, and E26, among others.
Key Topics
Scope and Application:
Covers maximum permissible dimensions for incandescent lamps, including tungsten-halogen types. It also notes that for the E27/27 lamp cap, use of E27/25 cap is permitted, with specific attention to regional variations, such as differences between North American and Japanese E26 caps.Normative References:
The amendment references critical IEC standards including:- IEC 60061 (Lamp caps, holders, and gauges)
- IEC 60064 (Performance of tungsten filament lamps)
- IEC 60357 (Tungsten-halogen lamp performance)
- IEC 60432 series (Safety specifications for incandescent lamps)
- IEC 60887 (Glass bulb designation system)
- IEC 61126 (Procedures for maximum lamp outlines)
Design Compliance:
Adherence to these maximum outlines ensures mechanical compatibility between lamps and luminaires, facilitating safe and consistent installation. Temperature and safety requirements are separately governed by IEC 60432, while lamp performance criteria are addressed by IEC 60064 and IEC 60357.Data Sheets and Numbering System:
The amendment defines a structured numbering scheme for lamp characteristic sheets, categorized by wattage ranges and lamp cap types. This enables easy identification and referencing of lamp contours and specifications.Mechanical Dimensions Included:
Detailed maximum dimensions such as bulb diameter and overall length are provided for commonly used lamp caps like B22 and E27, ensuring designers can rely on precise measurements for product development.
Applications
Lamp and Luminaire Design:
Manufacturers can use the standardized maximum outlines to design lamps and fixtures that are fully compatible, promoting interchangeability and market acceptance worldwide.Quality Control and Testing:
Ensures that incandescent lamps meet mechanical dimensional requirements, helping maintain product quality and reliability standards.Regulatory Compliance:
Supports conformance with international safety and interoperability regulations, easing market entry and reducing product recalls.Global Trade Facilitation:
Harmonized specifications enable manufacturers and suppliers to operate across different regions without redesigning lamps for specific markets due to mechanical incompatibility.Product Development:
Engineers designing new incandescent or tungsten-halogen lamps rely on the maximum outline parameters to optimize lamp performance within specified physical constraints.
