The 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 2240-006 specifies the required characteristics for a lamp, code 73E, for aerospace applications. BS EN 2240-006 shall be used together with EN 2756.
BS EN 2240-006 has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN).
BS EN 2240-006 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 2240-006 covers the terms and definitions, required characteristics, dimension, mass, the form of a filament, designation, markings, and technical specifications of the incandescent lamps.
BS EN 2240-006 helps engineers in designing lamps as per specifications that enhance the quality of their products. By adopting BS EN 2240-006 guidelines, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
