BS EN 2240 is a European standard for incandescent lamps used in the aerospace industry.
BS EN 2240-055 is the 55th part of a multi-part series that focuses on requirements for incandescent lamps for aerospace applications to ensure the manufacturing of efficient incandescent lamps. Incandescent lamps are used majorly in aircraft engine applications to provide vision in no light zones.
BS EN 2240-055 specifies the required characteristics for lamp, code 1495, for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2240-055 shall be used together with EN 2756.
BS EN 2240-055 on incandescent lamps, code 1495 is useful for:
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 2240-055 provides the terms and definitions, required characteristics, dimension, mass, the form of a filament, designation, markings, and technical specifications of the incandescent lamps. This assists in manufacturing incandescent lamps that are efficient, durable and of high quality and guides in enhancing their efficacy.
BS EN 2240-055 assists you in designing lamps as per specifications that enhance the quality of their products.
By adopting BS EN 2240-055, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
