Lamp safety testing service

In the safety standards of lighting products, there are also two major standard systems: IEC and ANSI/UL&CSA. The IEC standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission are currently adopted by the vast majority of countries in Europe, Australia, Asia Pacific, etc., and converted or equivalent to national or regional standards such as EN, AS/NZS, GB, etc. The main standard for lighting products is IEC 60598, which is divided into two parts: the first part is the general requirements for lighting fixtures. The second part is special requirements, which include supplementary requirements for more than 20 types of lighting fixtures such as fixed, mobile, string lights, emergency lights, etc; The ballasts, transformers, drivers, and other lamp control devices adopt the standard EN61347, which is also divided into two parts: the first part is the general safety requirements for lamp control devices. The second part provides supplementary requirements for electronic or inductive ballasts for tungsten filament lamps, fluorescent lamps, discharge lamps, neon lamps, etc; The standard for energy-saving light sources is EN60968. For the three basic product categories of LED lamps, LED light source products, and LED drivers, they respectively use the safety standards of each finished product or component. For LED modules, IEC/EN62031 standard has been added, and for LED light source products, IEC62560 standard has been launched. The EN standard is currently being converted and specified.

The ANSI/UL&CSA North American standard system differs significantly from the IEC (EN, AS/NZS, GB) standard system. UL&CSA standards are developed with different standard numbers for products, resulting in a wide variety of product standards, including UL1598, UL 153, UL 1573, UL 1574, UL 962, UL 1786, UL924, UL1993, UL588, UL935, UL1029, UL1012, UL2161, and corresponding CSA specifications; North America has also launched the UL8750 standard for LED products, which is used in conjunction with various practical application product standards.

For the use of lighting fixtures in damp and outdoor places such as bathrooms and gardens, IP code testing is also required. IP rating refers to the dustproof and waterproof rating of electrical equipment. Please refer to IEC/EN 60529 for the specific meaning of the two digit code in the IP rating. In addition, Beitong Testing can also provide safety tests such as the mechanical protection level of the IK shell.
