SIST EN IEC 60238:2018/A2:2021

Overview

The SIST EN IEC 60238:2018/A2:2021 standard specifies requirements for Edison screw lampholders, a critical component in lighting technology providing electrical connections for lamps with Edison screw bases. Developed and published by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), this standard is aligned with the International Electrotechnical Commission’s IEC 60238:2016/A2:2020 amendment and facilitates harmonization and safety compliance for lampholder manufacturing and usage within European markets. The amendment focus includes updates to material specifications, heat resistance tests, insulation coordination, and mechanical design for enhanced safety and reliability.
