Description / Abstract:
This standard describes a system for the designation of
miniature and sealed-beam lamps. A form is provided for the use of
lamp manufacturers to request a designation assignment,
alternative, or change.
Purpose
The purpose of the designation system defined by this standard
is to provide a nationally applicable and convenient lamp
identification that may be used for both manufacturing and ordering
purposes. The designation will ensure, for the user, the
interchangeability of lamps that bear the same
designation.
The lamp characteristics data given by a manufacturer on a
Miniature and Sealed-Beam Designation Request Form (Request Form)
forms the basis for the assignment of a designation. They have not
been approved by the American Standards Institute (ANSI) and do not
constitute an American National Standard. Similarly, any
consolidated listing of assigned designations with associated
characteristics does not constitute an American National
Standard.
