AS 60238:2022 PDF

AS 60238:2022 adopts IEC 60238:2016+AMD1:2017+AMD2:2020 CSV (ED. 9.2) with modifications for Australia, which provides Australian electrical industries with general electrical safety requirements for Edison screw lampholders.

AS 60238:2015 will also remain current for three years after the date of publication of this document and after this time it will be superseded by AS 60238:2022. Regulatory authorities that reference this document in regulation may apply these requirements at a different time. Users of this document should consult with these authorities to confirm their requirements.

This document will also operate in parallel with AS/NZS 3140, Approval and test specification—Edison screw lampholders.

While this document (AS 60238:2022) and AS/NZS 3140 operate in parallel, they are separate standalone documents and the chosen Standard (i.e. AS 60238 or AS/NZS 3140) is applied in its entirety. The interchanging of requirements from each Standard is not permitted to determine overall compliance of an Edison screw lampholder, except when either Standard specifically references the other Standard’s requirements.

The objective of this document is to specify particular requirements for Edison screw lampholders used in general purpose lighting.
