It’s well known that products from any country entering the EU and EFTA must undergo CE certification and affix the CE mark. CE certification serves as a passport for products entering the EU and EFTA markets. Today, Tianxiang, a Chinese smart LED street light fixture manufacturer, will discuss CE certification with you.
CE certification for LED lighting provides unified technical specifications for products from all countries trading in the European market, streamlining trade procedures. Products from any country entering the EU and EFTA must undergo CE certification and affix the CE mark. CE certification serves as a passport for products entering the EU and EFTA markets. CE certification indicates that a product meets the safety requirements outlined in EU directives. It represents a company’s commitment to consumers, increasing consumer trust. Products bearing the CE mark reduce risks associated with sales in the European market. It’s important to note that CE certification must be obtained from an EU-authorized Notified Body.
These risks include:
Risk of customs detention and investigation;
Risk of investigation and punishment by market surveillance agencies;
Risk of accusations against competitors for competitive purposes.
CE Certification Testing for LED Lamps
The CE certification testing for LED lamps (all lamps meet the same standards) primarily covers the following five areas: EMC (EN55015), EMC (EN61547), LVD (EN60598), and for rectifiers, LVD testing typically includes EN61347 and EN61000-3-2/-3 (harmonic testing).
CE certification consists of EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and LVD (Low Voltage Directive). EMC includes EMI (interference) and EMC (immunity). LVD, in layman’s terms, stands for safety. Generally, low-voltage products with AC voltages below 50V and DC voltages below 75V are exempt from LVD testing. Low-voltage products only require EMC testing, resulting in a CE-EMC certificate. High-voltage products require both EMC and LVD testing, resulting in two certificates and reports: CE-EMC and CE-LVD. EMC (Battery Compatibility) – EMC testing standards (EN55015, EN61547) include the following test items: 1. Radiation 2. Conduction 3. SD (Static Discharge) 4. CS (Conduction Immunity) 5. RS (Radiation Immunity) 6. EFT (Electromagnetic Field Effect) pulses.
LVD (Low Voltage Directive) – LVD testing standards (EN60598) include the following test items: 1. Fault (Test) 2. Impact 3. Vibration 4. Shock 5. Clearance 6. Creepage 7. Electric Shock 8. Heat 9. Overload 10. Temperature Rise Test.
Importance of CE Certification
CE certification provides a unified standard for all products entering the European market, simplifying trade procedures. Affixing the CE mark to smart LED street light fixture indicates that the product has met the safety requirements of EU directives; it represents a company’s commitment to consumers and enhances consumer trust in the product. Affixing the CE mark significantly reduces the risk of selling products in Europe. Every Tianxiang smart LED street light fixture is CE certified and strictly complies with the EU’s core requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD). From circuit safety and electromagnetic radiation control to electrical performance stability, all are verified by professional testing agencies.
