Overview

SIST EN 2240-001:2010 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the technical characteristics of incandescent lamps designed specifically for aerospace applications. It is a critical standard ensuring that lamps used in the aerospace sector meet stringent performance, safety, and quality requirements. The standard covers essential parameters such as lamp voltage, current, luminous flux, durability, marking, packaging, and quality assurance processes.

This standard supports the aerospace industry's need for reliable and high-performance lighting solutions capable of operating under challenging electrical and environmental conditions found in aircraft systems.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application
    SIST EN 2240-001:2010 defines the requirements for incandescent lamps intended for use with aircraft electrical supplies as per EN 2282. It includes specifications for nominal voltage, current, power, luminous flux, lamp life, and fixture compatibility.

  • Lamp Utilisation Categories

    • Normal Operation Lamps: Emission flux within ±25% of nominal value.
    • Aged and Selected Lamps: Lamps aged for 10 hours at nominal voltage and selected with tighter luminous flux tolerances (±10% or ±15%).
    • Reduced Voltage Use: Lamps tested for performance at lower than nominal voltages.
  • Design and Performance Characteristics
    The standard specifies design aspects such as lamp code, form and position of filament, type of connection (including cap types as per IEC 60061-1), colour temperature, mass, dimensions, and operating positions.

  • Quality Assurance and Testing
    The document mandates qualification, acceptance, and periodic testing procedures aligned with aerospace quality standards (EN 9133) and test methods (EN 2756). Sampling plans use ISO 2859-1 and ISO 3951 standards to ensure manufacturing consistency.

  • Marking and Packaging Requirements
    Lamps must be permanently marked with manufacturer’s trademark, nominal voltage, current or power rating, and product codes. Packaging is designed to protect lamps during transport and storage, with clear labeling including batch number, quantity, and handling instructions.

Applications

  • Aircraft Lighting Systems
    EN 2240-001 lamps are designed for cockpit instruments, cabin lighting, and external aerospace lighting systems where high reliability and compliance with electromagnetic and electrical supply characteristics are vital.

  • Aerospace Equipment and Systems
    This standard supports manufacturers and suppliers of electrical components for use in commercial and defense aerospace programs, ensuring interchangeability and safety with standards like IEC 60061-1.

  • Maintenance and Replacement
    Aerospace maintenance organizations rely on EN 2240-001 compliance to source lamps that meet strict operational lifetimes and performance envelopes, reducing failure rates and ensuring consistent illumination quality.

Related Standards

  • EN 2240-002
    Defines the main characteristics of incandescent aerospace lamps, complementing the technical specification in EN 2240-001.

  • EN 2282
    Covers characteristics of aircraft electrical power supplies, ensuring lamp compatibility with aircraft voltage and current conditions.

  • EN 2756
    Standard for test methods applied to incandescent lamps in aerospace, including photometric, electrical, climatic, and mechanical testing.

  • EN 9133
    Addresses quality management systems for aerospace standard parts, focusing on qualification procedures crucial to ensuring lamp quality and reliability.

  • IEC 60061-1
    Specifies lamp caps and holders, relevant for the lamp connection types defined in EN 2240-001.

Conclusion

SIST EN 2240-001:2010 is an essential European Standard for incandescent lamps used in aerospace applications. Its detailed technical specifications and rigorous quality assurance protocols guarantee lamp performance and reliability in critical aviation environments. Manufacturers, aerospace suppliers, and certification bodies utilize this standard to maintain safety, compatibility, and high operational standards for incandescent lighting in aircraft systems.
