There are no significant updates to J567. The only changes are to update a change in the IEC numbering system and add a reference to a forth IEC standard for guidelines and general information for lamps, holders and gauges.
IEC changed the standard numbering from IEC 61-1,2,3 to IEC 60061-1,2,3. IEC 60061-4 was added to provide more information on general guidelines.
This standard refers to performance and functional requirements of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and its U.S. member, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). By referring to IEC/ANSI and its standards concerning bulb sockets, lamp holders, and gages, this document recognizes the need for harmonized standards world-wide for what are typically commodity items.
