IEC 60061-2:1969/AMD37:2008

IEC 60061-2:1969/AMD37:2008 is an amendment connected to the parent reference IEC 60061-2:1969, addressing Amendment 37 - Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeability and safety - Part 2: Lampholders. It is relevant when teams need a controlled technical reference for lamp-holder related interchangeability and safety considerations, particularly during product evaluation, specification review, or conformity assessment. As a supporting document, IEC 60061-2:1969/AMD37:2008 should be read alongside the parent document to understand the updated requirements in context.

Purpose of IEC 60061-2:1969/AMD37:2008

The purpose of IEC 60061-2:1969/AMD37:2008 is to modify the lampholder-related content of the parent publication so that engineering and compliance teams can work from the most current approved reference. In practice, amendments like this are used to maintain alignment between design documentation, gauges, and interchangeability expectations for lamp caps and holders. For technical review, the document supports controlled evaluation of whether a lampholder implementation remains consistent with the applicable requirements in the IEC 60061 series.

Compliance applications of IEC 60061-2:1969/AMD37:2008

Organizations may use IEC 60061-2:1969/AMD37:2008 in product development, laboratory evaluation, and procurement checks where lampholder compliance needs to be confirmed against an updated source. It is particularly useful in quality workflows that involve documented evaluation of electrical equipment components, verification activities, and technical validation before release or certification. Compliance teams often rely on amendment documents like this during regulatory preparation and conformity assessment to ensure the parent reference is being applied with the correct changes.

Benefits of IEC 60061-2:1969/AMD37:2008

Using IEC 60061-2:1969/AMD37:2008 helps reduce ambiguity in technical documentation and supports safer, more consistent interpretation of lampholder requirements. That can improve interoperability, testing consistency, and engineering documentation control across design, sourcing, and inspection processes. For procurement and compliance teams, the amendment provides a clearer basis for risk management and technical assessment, especially when maintaining traceability to the parent document is important. It also helps align conformity assessment preparation with the updated requirements that apply to the lampholder scope.

• Supporting amendment for the parent document IEC 60061-2:1969
