4.4 If no lampholder fails in the complete series of tests specified in 4.3, then lampholders of that type shall be deemed to comply with this standard.
If one lampholder fails in any group in the complete series of tests specified in 4.3, the lampholders of that type shall be deemed to have failed to comply with this standard, unless that lampholder can be shown to be not representative of normal production or design, in which case a further set of lampholders shall be submitted to the test or tests in that group. Generally, it will be necessary to only repeat the test in which failure occurs. However, if the lampholder fails in the test specified in Clauses 14 to 18 inclusive, the tests shall be repeated from the tests of Clause 14 onwards.
An additional type test sample may be submitted, together with the first type test sample, in case one lampholder fails, in which case the additional type test sample shall then be tested and shall only be rejected if a further failure occurs. If there is no failure in this retest, then lampholders of that type shall be deemed to comply with this standard. If the additional type test sample is not submitted at the same time, a failure of one lampholder shall entail a rejection.
If more than one specimen fails in the complete series of tests specified in 4.3 then lampholders of that type shall be deemed to have failed to comply with this standard.
NOTE In view of the duration of the test procedure, lampholders differing only in detail and having the same constructional principles and materials may be covered by a single series of type tests, subject to agreement between applicant and test house.
6.1 According to the material of the exterior:
— lam pholders whose exterior is made wholly of plastic material;
— lampholders whose exterior is made wholly of ceramic material;
— lampholders whose exterior is made wholly or partly of metal.
NOTE For definition of “exterior”, see note to 2.1.1.
Lampholders with external parts consisting partly of metal and lampholders comprising external parts of insulating material with a conductive outer surface, e.g. a metallized outer shell, are considered as metal lampholders.
This does not apply to threaded entries and external parts, as for example a metal shade ring mounted on to the outside of a lampholder of insulating material, which cannot become live even in the case of an insulation fault. Metal lampholders with insulating coverings are considered as metal lampholders.
If in doubt as to whether or not a surface is conductive, two stripe-electrodes 1,5 mm wide, 25 mm long and with a distance of 2 mm from each other are applied to the surface (e.g. with silver conductive paint). In accordance with 14.3, the insulating resistance is measured between the stripes. The surface is considered to be conductive if the resistance is less than 5Mc.
6.2 According to degree of protection against solid objects and ingress of water:
— ordinary lampholders;
— drip-proof lam pholders.
NOTE A classification for higher degrees of protection against ingress of water is under consideration.
7.5 Where the terminal size specified in 10.2 is not complied with, the relevant value, or
values in case of a range, shall be shown in mm2 followed by a small square (for example
0,5 0)
For unenclosed lampholders such marking is not required but relevant information shall be given in the manufacturer’s mounting instructions.
7.6 Marking shall be durable and easily legible.
Compliance with the requirements of 7.1 to 7.5 shall be checked by inspection, and by trying to remove the marking by rubbing lightly for 15 s with a piece of cloth soaked with water and for a further 15 s with a piece of cloth soaked with petroleum spirit. After the tests, the marking shall be still legible.
NOTE The petroleum spirit used should consist of a solvent hexane with a content of aromatics of maximum 0,1 volume percentage, a kauri-butanol value of 29, an initial boiling-point of approximately 65 °C, a dry-point of approximately 69 °C and a specific density of approximately 0,68 g/cm3.
7.7 In the United Kingdom a threaded entry lampholder without means for restraining the flexible cord, intended for retail sale, shall have the following warning notice attached or incorporated in the associated packaging:
“Do not connect this lampholder to a flexible cord which may be subject to tension in normal use, unless means are provided to relieve the conductors from strain and to protect the i n s u I at ion”.
