Annex ZZ
(informative)

Relationship between this European standard and the safety objectives of
Directive 2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be covered

This European standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardisation request relating to
harmonised standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive, M/511, to provide one voluntary means
of conforming to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the
making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
[2014 OJ L96].

Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding safety objectives of
that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.

BAYONET LAMPHOLDERS

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61184 has been prepared by subcommittee 34B: Lamp caps and
holders, of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2008 and
Amendment 1:2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) Restructuring of the standard in accordance with IEC Directives Part 2.
b) Clause 18: Update on creepage distances and clearances;
c) Addition of Annex B.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
In this standard, the following print types are used:
– requirements proper: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
This document covers safety requirements for bayonet lampholders and includes references
to IEC 60061 (all parts) for the control of interchangeability and safety of the cap and holder
fit.
NOTE Safety requirements ensure that electrical equipment constructed in accordance with these requirements
does not endanger the safety of persons, domestic animals or property when properly installed and maintained and
used in applications for which it was intended.
The thermal characteristics of lampholders are specified by the rated operating temperature
(symbol T), which is the highest temperature for which the lampholder is designed. The
temperature rating and the resistance to heat specified in this document are based on two
different principles, as presently found in IEC 60238 for Edison screw lampholders and in
other national standards for bayonet lampholders. After experience, it may be possible to
rationalize the systems in future editions of this document.

1 Scope
This document applies to bayonet lampholders B15d and B22d for connection of lamps and
semi-luminaires to a supply voltage of 250 V.
This document also covers lampholders which are integral with a luminaire or intended to be
built into appliances. It covers the requirements for the lampholder only.
For all other requirements, such as protection against electric shock in the area of the
terminals, the requirements of the relevant appliance standard are observed and tested after
building into the appropriate equipment, when that equipment is tested according to its own
standard. Lampholders for use by luminaire manufacturers only are not for retail sale.
Where lampholders are used in luminaires, their maximum operating temperatures are
specified in IEC 60598-1.
B15d denotes the cap/holder fit as defined by IEC 60061-1, sheet 7004-11 and IEC 60061-2,
sheet 7005-16 with the corresponding gauges.
B22d denotes the cap/holder fit as defined by IEC 60061-1, sheet 7004-10 and IEC 60061-2,
sheet 7005-10 with the corresponding gauges.
