Performance testing and certification services for lighting products

Global Energy Efficiency Certification Requirements for Lighting Products:

As the threat of global warming becomes increasingly severe, consumers' demand for energy-saving equipment is on the rise, such as lighting products that can reduce utility costs. Lamps and lamp manufacturers must meet this new demand while keeping up with rapidly changing regulations and energy labeling requirements in various target markets.

For example, in the European Union, the initial stages of regulations (EC) 244/2009 and (EC) 245/2009 led to significant changes in the market. Manufacturers of directional and LED lighting, as well as lighting control equipment, must now comply with the new regulations;

Regulation (EU) 1194/2012. New energy labels compliant with (EU) 874/2012 are also emerging, adding A+and A++categories to lamps and luminaires.

Manufacturers need to produce and package lighting equipment that can win consumer recognition, utilize government green procurement policies, and comply with global energy-saving standards. At the same time, it is also important for companies to maintain a reputation for social and environmental responsibility. Consumers are concerned about the safety of the product, the production method and location of the product, and what measures the company has taken to prevent the manufacture of inferior products.

Nowadays, European and American companies are looking for partners and joint ventures in Asia to manufacture energy-saving lighting products at lower operating costs. Due to varying interpretations of quality and safety in different regions, these companies require certified partners with specialized knowledge to maintain consistent product quality and enter key markets.

In the Middle East, seven customs countries including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have also implemented requirements for energy efficiency certification, only to save energy and reduce emissions, and create a better global village together.

Energy efficiency testing may include:

1. Energy consumption measurement
2. Energy efficiency assessment
3. Power consumption test in shutdown mode
4. Standby power consumption test
5. Availability of standby or power-saving functions
6. Power management function
7. Report production
