Overview

The EN 2240 standard series specifies the characteristics of incandescent lamps used for aerospace applications. Fields of application are, for instance, lighting and/or interior or exterior signalling. Whilst part 001 contains the technical specifications, part 002 gives an overview of the main characteristics of the described incandescent lamps, the parts 003 to 105 are products standards which specify the required characteristics for one type each. Part 056 specifies the required characteristics for lamps, code 1506 (nominal voltage 6,4 V, nominal current 3,282 A, cap BAY15s/19, and clear bulb), for aerospace applications. It shall be used together with EN 2756. This standard has been prepared by ASD-STAN, Technical Section Electrics, Avionics, with the participation of German experts of the Aerospace Standards Committee. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) declared the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD-STAN) responsible for the preparation of European Standards (EN) for the field of aerospace. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 131-04-06 AA "Lampen und Leuchten" ("Lamps and refulgence") of the Aerospace Standards Committee (NL) at DIN. According to Resolution 57/9 of Technical Committee of the advisory board of the Aerospace Standards Committee (NL) at DIN, the German Institute for Standardization, the European space industry standardization results shall be adopted into the German body of standards in both languages, German and English. Therefore, the English version is added to this German version of the EN standard.
