BS EN 2240 series focuses on requirements for incandescent lamps for aerospace applications. Incandescent lamps are used majorly in aircraft engine applications. They are installed to provide vision in no light zones.
BS EN 2240-023 specifies the required characteristics for a lamp, code 316, for aerospace applications. BS EN 2240-023 shall be used together with EN 2756.
BS EN 2240-023 has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN).
BS EN 2240-023 on incandescent lamps in aerospace 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 2240-023 covers the terms and definitions, required characteristics, designation, markings, and technical specifications of the lamps.
BS EN 2240-023 helps engineers in designing lamps as per specifications that enhance the quality of their products.
By adopting BS EN 2240-023, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
