International regulations and standards for LED lamps
LED lamp products exported to the EU need: CE certification, GS certification;
United States: UL certification;
South Korea: KC certification;
Middle East: SASO;
The main certifications in the North American market are: UL, ETL, FCC and ENERGYSTAR (Energy Star);
If it is exported to Europe, VDE is the most authoritative, if it is exported to the United States and Canada, UL, CUL will do.
Export to EU countries need to pass the safety certification test (LVD) and electromagnetic compatibility certification test (EMC), the main certification marks are CE and ENEC.
The certification reference standards mainly include:
IEC / EN: 60598-1 (general requirements and tests of lamps),
IEC / EN: 60598-2-3 (safety requirements for road and street lighting fixtures),
IEC / EN62031 (General safety requirements for LED modules),
IEC / EN: 61000-3-2 (single-phase input current ≦ 16A equipment harmonic current emission limit),
IEC / EN: 61000-3-3 (limits of voltage fluctuations and flicker in low-voltage power supply systems),
IEC / EN61547 (Electromagnetic compatibility immunity requirements for general lighting equipment),
IEC / EN55015 (Limits and measurement methods of electromagnetic interference characteristics of electrical lighting or type equipment
