BS EN 2240 is a European standard for incandescent lamps used in the aerospace industry.
BS EN 2240-040 specifies the required characteristics for the lamp, code 680, for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2240-040 is the 40th 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 2240-040 shall be used together with EN 2756.
BS EN 2240-040 on the incandescent lamps, code 680 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 2240-040 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 2240-040 assists you in designing lamps as per specifications that enhance the quality of their products.
By adopting BS EN 2240-040, manufacturers can enhance the efficacy of incandescent lamps and manufacture a standardized product. In addition, assists in demonstrating the reliability of their products and building trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
