Deep understanding of Chinese LED standard

Main standards bodies and certification marks

ANSI: American National Standards Institute (American National, Standards Institute) is a voluntary organization composed of companies, government and other members of the few standard, the ANSI standard is a voluntary, but by making laws and government departments of the reference standard, a mandatory standard.

UL: UL (Underwriter Laboratories Inc.) abbreviation, the United States is the most authoritative Security Testing Institute, but also the world's largest civil institutions engaged in safety testing and identification.

FCC: Commission Communications (Federal Communications Commission (Federal)), is an independent agency of the U.S. government, directly responsible for congress. FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio, television, telecommunications, satellite and cable.

ETL:ETL is an American electronic testing laboratory (ELectrical Testing Laboratories) abbreviation, ETL laboratory was founded by American inventor Edison in 1896 hand, enjoys a high reputation in the United States and the world. The "us" on the lower right indicates that it is suitable for the United States, and that the "C" in the lower left indicates that it is applicable to Canada, and that both "us" and "C" are applicable in two countries.

Energy Star: Energy Star is a dominated by the United States government, mainly for consumer electronics products, energy saving plans, the Energy Star Program in 1992 by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched, the purpose is to reduce the greenhouse gas energy consumption and reduce power plant emissions.

IEC: the International Electrotechnical Commission (International Electrotechnical Commission), the International Electrotechnical Standardization Organization in the world's oldest, responsible for international standardization work related to electrical engineering and electronic engineering field, the world has nearly 100 thousand experts to participate in formulating and revising the standard of IEC.

ENEC (European Norms Electrical Certification, ENEC) is a specific and products in line with European standards (such as lighting equipment, components, and office equipment & data) general used in Europe, the ENEC symbol is the common European safety certification mark, 2000 originally only allowed European manufacturers using the "ENEC" logo start using open to all manufacturers in the world.

GB: "GB" Pinyin abbreviations, numbers published by the national standard code, national standard issued by the sequence number and the national standard of the year (the year of release after two digits), by the State Council administrative department in charge of standardization preparation, approved by the national standardization authorities issued a unified, nationwide standard.

CCC: China compulsory certification (China Compulsory Certification), began to implement mandatory product certification system in December 3, 2001, the original "CCIB" certification and "the Great Wall CCEE certification" unified "China compulsory certification", the English abbreviation for "CCC", referred to as the "3C" certification, the product catalog contains 19 categories 132 and the catalog of products must be designated by the national certification of qualified, obtain the relevant certificates and certification mark, before leaving the factory, import, sales and operating services in place.

Two, LED products exported to the EU market standards

Exports to the EU countries need to include security certification test (LVD) and electromagnetic compatibility certification test (EMC), the main certification mark CE and ENEC certified reference standard includes: IEC/EN:60598-1 (General requirements and test lamps), IEC/EN:60598-2-3 (safety requirements for road and street lighting), IEC/EN62031 (universal LED module safety requirements (IEC/EN:61000-3-2) single-phase input current is less than or equal to 16A equipment harmonic current emission limits (IEC/EN:61000-3-3), the voltage fluctuation and flicker in low-voltage power supply systems, IEC/EN61547 (value) for general lighting equipment EMC immunity requirements), IEC/EN55015 (electromagnetic disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting equipment or types of limits and methods of measurement.), CE certification and ENEC certification standards are basically the same, but there is a lot of authentication The main performance is as follows:

The 1.ENEC must be certified agency members of the ENEC testing and certification to CE, belongs to the self proclaimed authentication, if companies think their products have to meet CE certification standards, do not need to go through third party testing and certification, can be posted CEmark;

2.ENEC certification, the manufacturer's product management must comply with ISO9002, or in the same standards, CE certification does not require ISO related standards;

3.ENEC certification, according to the harmonic inspection procedures, the initial and minimum annual output will be subject to the inspection of the certification body, CE certification products do not need to check the relevant certification bodies;

4.ENEC certification, the need for every year of the product has been re selected retest, and the need to re test costs, CE certification products in the product has not changed circumstances, sustainable and effective;

5.ENEC uses the standard European Standards Committee (EN) standard, CE uses the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard, but the two standard content exactly the same;

6.ENEC certification, if the power is purchased, is certified by ENEC power supply, the power supply as a luminaire certification test if power is applied to the business of their own production, does not require ENEC certification, but need to be matched with the lamp of random testing, reference standard for EN61347-1 (general and safety requirements of the lamp control device) (EN61347-2-13, led mode
