BS EN 2240 is a European standard for incandescent lamps used in the aerospace industry.
BS EN 2240-031 specifies the required characteristics for the lamp, code 356, for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2240-031 is the 31st part of a multi-part series that focuses on the 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 2240-031 shall be used together with EN 2756.
BS EN 2240-031 on incandescent lamps, code 356 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 2240-031 provides you with 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.
BS EN 2240-031 assists you in designing lamps as per specifications that enhance the quality of their products.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 2240-031, manufacturers can enhance the efficacy of incandescent lamps and demonstrate the reliability of their products to build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
