LED detection
Some people ask why products need to be tested and certified? How can we make the product market bigger? The larger market of the product is closely related to product testing and certification. In order to make the product market larger or even around the world, the product needs some testing and certification from the local country. Only in this way can our products be more secure, consumers in various countries can use them with confidence, and the market for our products will grow. With the certification requirements stipulated by the local country, it is equivalent to having a pass for your product in other countries, and the product can pass smoothly in other countries.
The same is true for LED products.
In the context of energy shortage, it can be said that saving energy is an important issue we are facing, and LED has always been called a new generation of green light source. Its energy saving, environmental protection, long life and other advantages make the LED lighting industry a green industry that all countries focus on. In view of the increasing maturity and rapid development of LED lighting technology, in order to regulate the emerging market of LED lighting, some important LED regional markets around the world have introduced relevant technical regulations or standards, and put forward certification requirements for the application of LED lighting certification.
Ten certification standards for LEDs
1.3C certification
The full name of 3C certification is "compulsory product certification system", which is a product conformity assessment system implemented by the Chinese government to protect consumers‘ personal safety and national security, strengthen product quality management, and implement laws and regulations. 3C certification is mainly trying to solve the long-term problems in China‘s product certification system through a package of solutions such as "unified catalogues, unified standards, technical regulations, conformity assessment procedures, unified certification marks, and unified charging standards". The issue of reviews, duplication of charges, and the separation of certification and enforcement actions, and the establishment of technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures consistent with international rules can facilitate trade facilitation and liberalization.
2. ISO9000 certification
The certification bodies of ISO9000 quality system certification are all authoritative bodies accredited by national accreditation bodies, and the audit of the quality system of enterprises is very strict. For the inside of the enterprise, the quality management can be carried out in accordance with the strictly audited international standard quality system, which can truly meet the requirements of the rule of law and science, greatly improve the work efficiency and product qualification rate, and rapidly improve the economic and social benefits of the enterprise. . For the outside of the enterprise, when customers know that the supplier implements management in accordance with international standards, has obtained the ISO9000 quality system certification, and has strict audits and regular supervision by the certification body, they can be sure that the enterprise is able to stably produce qualified products and even A trustworthy enterprise with excellent products, thus entering into a supply and marketing contract with the enterprise with confidence and expanding the market share of the enterprise.
3.UL certification
UL is short for Underwriters Laboratories. The UL Safety Laboratory is an authoritative organization in the United States and a larger private organization engaged in safety testing and identification in the world. It is an independent, for-profit professional organization that conducts experiments for public safety. It uses scientific testing methods to study and determine whether various materials, devices, products, equipment, buildings, etc. are harmful and harmful to life and property; determine, write, and issue corresponding standards and help reduce and prevent life-threatening injuries. Information on property damage, and conduct fact-finding business.
4. FCC certification
The Federal Communications Commission, established by COMMUNICATIONACT in 1934, is an independent agency of the U.S. government and is directly accountable to Congress. The FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio, television, telecommunications, satellite and cable. Many radio application products, communication products and digital products require FCC approval to enter the US market. The FCC committee investigates and studies the various stages of product safety to find a good solution to the problem, and the FCC also includes the detection of radio devices, aircraft, and more.
5. CE certification
CE certification is limited to the basic safety requirements that the product does not endanger the safety of humans, animals and goods, rather than general quality requirements. The coordination directive only specifies the main requirements, and the general directive requirements are standard tasks. Therefore, the precise meaning is: CE mark is a safety conformity mark rather than a quality conformity mark. It is the "main requirement" that forms the core of the European Directive.
The "CE" mark is a safety certification mark and is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a compulsory certification mark. Whether it is a product produced by an enterprise within the EU or a product produced in other countries, it must be affixed with the "CE" mark if it is to be freely circulated in the EU market.
6.MET certification
The MET certification mark is suitable for the US and Canadian markets: The MET mark with C-US indicates that the product has been tested and meets the applicable standards in the United States and Canada, and can enter both markets at the same time.
7. CB certification
The CB system (IEC system for conformity testing and certification of electrical products) is an international system operated by IECEE. The certification bodies of IECEE member countries test the safety performance of electrical products based on IEC standards. The test results are the CB test report and the CB system. The system of mutual recognition of test certificates in IECEE member countries. The purpose is to reduce the barriers to international trade that arise from having to meet different national certification or approval criteria.
8. CSA certification
CSA is the abbreviation of the Canadian Standards Association. It was established in 1919 and is the first non-profit organization in Canada to formulate industrial standards. Electronic, electrical and other products sold in the North American market are required to obtain safety certification. CSA is currently the largest safety certification body in Canada and one of the world‘s leading safety certification bodies. It can provide safety certification for all types of products in machinery, building materials, electrical appliances, computer equipment, office equipment, environmental protection, medical fire safety, sports and entertainment.
9. GS certification
The meaning of GS is that the safety has been certified, and it also means German safety. GS certification is a voluntary certification based on the German Product Safety Law (GPGS) and tested in accordance with the European Union‘s unified standard EN or the German industrial standard DIN. It is a German safety certification mark recognized in the European market.
10.VDE certification
The VDE Testing and Certification Institute in Offenbach, Germany, is an institute affiliated to the German Institute of Electrical Engineers and was established in 1920. As a neutral and independent organization, VDE‘s laboratory inspects and certifies electrical products in accordance with German VDE national standards or European EN standards, or IEC International Electrotechnical Commission standards based on applications. In many countries, the VDE certification mark is even more famous than the domestic certification mark, especially recognized and valued by importers and exporters.
The above top ten testing and certification standards are to regulate the emerging market of LED lighting. Only specifications and requirements can make LED lighting develop healthily in a sound market.
