This standard shall be used in conjunction with IEC 60432-1.
This part of IEC 60432 specifies the safety and the related interchangeability requirements of
tungsten halogen lamps for general lighting service. It covers those tungsten halogen lamps
that are used as direct replacements for conventional tungsten filament lamps as well as new
tungsten halogen lamps which have no correspondence in IEC 60432-1, but for which the
safety and interchangeability requirements are treated by this standard in conjunction with IEC
60432-1. These tungsten halogen lamps have the following characteristics:
– rated wattage up to and including 250 W;
– rated voltage of 50 V to 250 V inclusive;
– caps B15d, B22d, E12, E14, E17, E26, E26d, E26/50x39, E27 or E27/51x39.
Lamps complying with this standard are self-shielded, but need not be marked with a special
symbol. As they are direct replacements for conventional tungsten filament lamps, there will
be no corresponding luminaire marking.
This part of IEC 60432 covers photobiological safety according to IEC 62471 and
IEC/TR 62471-2. Lamps covered by this part of IEC 60432 do not reach risk levels that require
risk group marking.
