What is BS EN 2240-062 - Incandescent lamps, code 1810 about?
BS EN 2240 is a European standard for incandescent lamps used in the aerospace industry.
BS EN 2240-062 specifies the required characteristics for the lamp, code 1810, for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2240-062 is the 62nd part of a multi-part series that focuses on the requirements for incandescent lamps for aerospace applications to manufacture efficient incandescent lamps. Incandescent lamps are used majorly in aircraft engine applications to provide vision in no light zones.
BS EN 2240-062 shall be used together with EN 2756.
Who is BS EN 2240-062 - Incandescent lamps, code 1810 for? 
BS EN 2240-062 on incandescent lamps, code 1810 is useful for:
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace products manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
- Incandescent lamps manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 2240-062 - Incandescent lamps, code 1810?
A lamp is a device for producing illumination, originally a vessel containing a wick soaked in combustible material and subsequently such other light-producing instruments as gas and electric lamps.
BS EN 2240-062 provides the required characteristics of a lamp such as dimensions, mass, the form of a filament, designation, markings, and technical specifications of the incandescent lamps, code 1810. BS EN 2240-062 also provides you guidance on light centre length as well as the colour temperature of lamps.
This assists in manufacturing incandescent lamps that are efficient, durable and of high quality and also guides in enhancing their efficacy.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2240-062, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their lamps and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
