Lighting products
According to the type of light source, it is generally divided into incandescent lamp, halogen lamp, fluorescent lamp, discharge lamp, metal halide lamp and LED lamp; from the use, we can be divided into wall lamp, chandelier, ceiling lamp, down lamp, table lamp, floor lamp Street lamps, garden lights, stage lights, emergency lights, light strings and professional lamps. Similarly, the light control device can be divided into an electronic ballast and an inductive ballast.
When luminaires and lighting fixtures are certified, they must comply with the requirements of product safety (Safety), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), energy consumption, and IP dustproof and waterproof rating. Battery-powered luminaires, because only low-voltage DC is used, there is no product safety concern, just consider EMC requirements; if the Adapter is a product that has passed the corresponding standard safety certification, the safety considerations are very high. Simple, EMC depends on whether the internal line uses Oscillator/Clock (clock circuit).
The main standard for the certification of luminaire products in Europe is EN60598, which is divided into two parts: The first part of EN60598-1 is the general requirement for luminaires. The second part is the special requirements, which are supplementary requirements for more than 20 kinds of lamps, such as fixed type, mobile type, light string and emergency light. The standard for energy-saving lamps is EN60968; ballasts, transformers and other lamp control devices use the standard EN61347, which is also divided into two parts: the first part of EN61347-1 is the general requirements for the safety requirements of the lamp control device. The second part is for the supplementary requirements of electronic or magnetic ballasts such as tungsten lamps, fluorescent lamps, discharge lamps, neon lamps, etc.
Note: For lamps with LED lights, photobiosafety must be evaluated in accordance with EN62471. LED modules need to comply with the safety regulations of EN62031; and the circuit parts should be considered in accordance with IEC/EN61347-1 & IEC/EN61347-2-13.
The series of certifications for lamps and lighting fixtures refers to a group of lamps with the same principle and structure but different shapes. Only the most representative lamps are selected for complete testing, so the certification cost can be greatly reduced. However, the “series” concept in the certification process differs from the series concept at the time of sale. The series of certifications for luminaire products are divided according to the circuit principle, the fixed method, the use environment, etc., for example, according to the same kind of light source, the same protection against electric shock, the same IP value, and the same standard, if divided into table lamps and Two types of wall lamps will be certified according to mobile luminaire standards and fixed luminaire standards during the certification process.
