BIS CERTIFICATION FOR BAYONET LAMP HOLDERS IS 1258:2005

Bayonet lamp holders are crucial for securing and supporting lamps with bayonet fittings, ensuring a reliable connection between the lamp and the power supply. They enable straightforward installation, replacement, and optimal performance of lamps across various residential and commercial lighting scenarios.

The categorization of lamp holders involves several factors, including external material, protection against solid objects and water, fixing methods, types, electric shock prevention, and heat resistance. All bayonet lamp holders must adhere to the ISI certification scheme under IS 1258:2005, guaranteeing adherence to safety and quality standards for the Indian market.

Bayonet lamp holders serve a vital function in securely holding and supporting lamps with bayonet fittings, establishing a reliable link between the lamp and the power source. They streamline the process of installation, replacement, and ensuring optimal lamp performance across various residential and commercial lighting setups.

Key Highlights

Product Name	Bayonet Lamp Holders
Applicable Indian Standard	IS 1258:2005
Applicable Certification Scheme	Product Certification Scheme (ISI Mark Scheme) Scheme 1 - Schedule 2
Compliance Requirement	Mandatory
QCO Link	Quality Control Order
Scope as per Standard	This standard pertains to bayonet lamp holders B15d and B22d used for connecting lamps and semi-luminaires to a supply voltage not exceeding 250 V. Additionally, where applicable, the standard covers lamp holders that are wholly or partly integrated with a luminaire or intended for incorporation into appliances. Independent lamp holders, such as backplate lamp holders, not specifically designed for integration, are subject to supplementary requirements outlined in section 4. Note: In cases where lamp holders are utilized in luminaires, their maximum operating temperatures are specified in relevant sections of IS 10322. The designation "B15" refers to the cap/holder fit as specified in Data Sheets 7004-11 and 7005-16, along with the corresponding gauges. Similarly, "B22" denotes the cap/holder fit as outlined in Data Sheets 7004-10 and 7005-10, along with the corresponding gauges.

TESTS

The following are the major tests for Bayonet Lamp Holders:

Marking
Dimension
Protection against electric shock
Terminals
Creepage distance & clearance
Provision for earthing
Moisture resistance, Insulation resistance & Electric Strength
Construction
Screws, current carrying parts & connection
General resistance to heat
Mechanical Strength
Switched lamp holder
Resistance to excessive residual stresses (season cracking) & to rusting
Resistance to heat, fire and tracking

Adherence to IS 1258:2005, particularly concerning B15D and B22D type bayonet lamp holders, is crucial to uphold safety and compatibility standards for connections within the specified voltage limits. Non-compliance with these standards, which ensure consumer safety and quality assurance, restricts the export, import, or sale of these products in the Indian consumer market without the ISI mark.

It's important to highlight that cable trunking and ducting systems intended for wall or ceiling mounting cannot be exported, imported, or sold in the Indian consumer market without the ISI Mark.
