Lighting products are now very diverse styles, the EU has different requirements for different types of lamps and lanterns, in accordance with different EN standards for product testing, many manufacturers of lamps and lanterns asked whether their lamps and lanterns can pass the CE certification test, to obtain CE certificates.
Any product before the test is not good judgment, but generally can pass the test Oh, your product in strict accordance with the CE certification standards for production, are able to obtain CE certification, the product to pass is sent to the laboratory for testing, and then issued a test report, in line with the standard can be issued CE certificate.
In the EU market, "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark, whether it is a product produced by enterprises within the EU, or products produced in other countries, in order to circulate freely in the EU market, you must affix the "CE" mark to show that the product conforms to the EU "Technical Harmonization and New Approaches to Standardization" Directive. New Approach to Technical Harmonization and Standardization" directive basic requirements. This is a mandatory requirement of EU law for products, lamps and lanterns exported to EU countries are also required to do CE certification!
CE certification standards for lamps and lanterns
CE certification of lamps and lanterns in accordance with EN55015, EN61547, EN60598, EN61000 testing standards for testing.
EN55015 This standard is to do the conductive radiation and power radiation aspects of the test.
EN61547 This standard is for static electricity, radiation immunity, fast pulsation, surge or lightning, conducted immunity, voltage dips and surges, etc.
EN61000-3-3 is to measure voltage fluctuations.
EN61000-3-2 is to do harmonic testing.
EN60598 is a safety standard, which includes insulation withstand voltage test, leakage current test, ground resistance test, insulation resistance test, temperature rise test, abnormal temperature test, etc.
CE certification test items for lamps and lanterns
Luminaire CE certification test EMC and including EMI (interference) + EMC (anti-interference), LVD is commonly known as SAFETY safety, general low-voltage products AC less than 50V, DC less than 75V can not do LVD project. Therefore, CE certification is a passport for products to enter the EU and the European Free Trade Zone countries' markets.
EMC (battery compatible) - EMC test scale (EN55015, EN61547), test items include the following aspects:
1.radiation radiation
2. conduction conduction
3.SD static electricity
4.CS conducted immunity
5.RS radiation immunity
6.EFT pulse. Low-voltage products are only tested for EMC and CE-EMC certificate, while high-voltage products need to be tested for EMC and LVD certificate.
LVD (Low Voltage Directive) - LVD test scale (EN60598), the test items include the following aspects:
1. fault (test) 2. impact 3. shock 4. shock 5. electrical clearance
6. creepage interval 7. electric shock 8. fever 9. overload 10. temperature rise test.
Luminaire safety certification has always been a controversial topic, a few days ago CE certification in the luminaire safety certification requirements on the new addition of a lamp surface temperature test requirements. This requirement is mainly applicable to EN60598 series lamps and lanterns, the surface temperature of lamps and lanterns to make detailed provisions. Luminaires that do not meet the requirements are not allowed to enter the market. Specific requirements are as follows:
1. there are special provisions for non-functional lamps and lanterns or in accordance with special standards;
2. such as no special provisions of the lamps and lanterns need to be implemented in accordance with the newly promulgated EN60598, the normal experimental temperature limit of 90 ℃ for floodlighting;
3. lamps and lanterns products non-metallic parts temperature more than 75 ℃, metal parts more than 60 ℃, it is necessary to make sufficient safety notices for consumers in the product instructions.
The above are the requirements of EN60598 for the safety certification of lamps and lanterns, lamps and lanterns products are required to do CE certification in accordance with the new standard requirements. Of course, this provision is not for the entire lamp, some materials are not included. Specifically as follows:
1. all components (such as reflectors or protective grilles) before or after the light source irradiation opening in the luminaire;
2. openings and translucent covers or glass illuminated by the light source, which includes luminaire fluorescent materials;
Luminaires CE certification product range:
1, light sources: halogen lamps, germicidal lamps, solar lamps, sodium lamps, incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, two * tubes, discharge lamps, energy-saving lamps, low-pressure lamps, quartz lamps, neon lamps, downlights, spotlights, fluorescent lamps, mercury lamps, no * lamps, LED series lights.
2, outdoor lighting: landscape lights, road lights, lawn lights, high-pole lights, garden lights, buried lights, guardrail lights, searchlights, square lights, traffic lights, tunnel lights, floodlights.
3, flashlights: ordinary flashlights, rechargeable flashlights, solar flashlights, non-light flashlights, portable lights, headlamps, * flashlights, explosion-proof flashlights.
4, stage lighting: stage lights, chasing lights, scanning lights, moving head lights, soft lights, backlights, spotlights, laser lights.
5, indoor lighting: light bulbs, table lamps, wall lamps, chandeliers, suction * lamps, floor lamps, ceiling lamps, industrial lamps, indoor decorative lamps.
The information needed to prepare for CE certification of lamps and lanterns
1、Product instruction manual.
2、Safety design documents (including key structure drawings, i.e. design drawings that reflect the creepage distance, clearance, insulation layer number and thickness).
3、Product technical conditions (or corporate standards).
4, the product electrical schematic diagram.
5、Product wiring diagram.
6、List of key components or raw materials (please use products with European certification mark).
7、Copy of the certification of the whole machine or components.
8、Other required information.
CE certification process for luminaires:
1. Applicants need to fill in the application form, fill in company information, product information and submit to the staff of Guan Tong.
2. The engineer of Fangliu will determine the test standard and test items and quote according to the product manual information and picture parameters.
3. The applicant confirms the quotation, signs a contract with Kuan Tong testing organization and makes payment.
4. The applicant provides test samples
5. The applicant provides product specification information and pictures.
6. Fangliu conducts a full set of tests on the applied products according to the relevant EU testing standards and the difference tests of the relevant models.
7. Test is completed and test report is issued.
8. The project is completed and CE certificate is issued.
CE certification cycle for lamps and lanterns
General lighting products 5-7 working days or so to issue the certificate
