LED lighting products are the EU Safety Directive – Low Voltage Directive (LVD Directive) jurisdiction, on entering the EU market, identifies the CE mark, you must consider the relevant standards under the LVD directive.
Self-ballasted lamps for LED, if the export to Europe mainly subject to the following safety requirements:
IEC / EN 60968: Safety requirements for self-ballasted lamp
IEC / EN 62031: LED modules for general lighting
IEC / EN 60061-1: Lamp
IEC / EN 60061-3:
gauge IEC / EN 62471: lamps and lamp systems Biosafety
IEC / TR 62471-2: Guidelines
In addition, specifically for self-ballasted lamp LED safety requirements of IEC / EN 62560 will be announced shortly.
Which, IEC / EN 62031 is related to LED modules for general lighting safety regulations, the label on the module, terminal, ground protection, prevent accidental contact with live parts, moisture and insulation, dielectric strength, fault conditions, construction, electrical creepage distance and clearance, screw / carrying parts and connections, heat / fire and tracking resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. requirements.
IEC / EN 60968 is related to energy saving light bulb safety regulations. In the IEC / EN (draft) 62560 before the official announcement is not for self-ballasted LED lights are the main reference to the standard assessment.
IEC / EN 62471 is to evaluate the light of lamps and lighting systems biology safety guidelines, which include light sources to LED, but does not include the laser. IEC 62471 mainly radiation exposure limits, lamps and lamp systems of measurement conditions and provisions of the classification of light. Exposure limits in terms of convergence, the standard skin and eyes, respectively, the photochemical UV radiation exposure limits for hazards, eye hazards near UV radiation exposure limits, damage the retina Blu-ray radiation exposure limits, radiation exposure limits for retinal thermal hazard, infrared eye and skin hazard exposure limits for heat radiation hazard radiation exposure limits for a detailed requirements. IEC / EN 62471 is also based on the degree of optical radiation hazard lights will be divided into non-continuous radiation risk category, risk class 1 (low risk), risk category 2 (moderate risk) and 3 types of dangerous (high risk) four major categories.
For LED lamps, the main export to Europe if required to meet the following safety requirements:
IEC / EN 60598-1: General requirements and test lamps
IEC / EN 61195: Safety
double-ended fluorescent lamps IEC / EN 61347-1: General requirements for lights and test controller
IEC / EN 61347-2-13: LED driver requires
IEC / EN 62031: General lighting LED module (clause 13,15, 16, 17, 19 applies);
IEC / EN 60061-1: Lamp caps;
IEC / EN 60061-3: gauge;
IEC / EN 62471: lamps and lamp systems biosafety;
IEC / TR 62471-2: Guidelines.
For LED lighting, in addition to comply with the IEC / EN 62031, IEC / EN 62471, IEC / TR 62471-2, IEC / EN 61347-1: General requirements for lights and controller test, IEC / EN 61347-2-13 and other standards, but also must meet:
IEC / EN 60598-1: General requirements and test lamps
IEC / EN 60598-2-x: special lighting requirements
Which, IEC / EN 60598-1 is the lighting of the common safety standards, the standards include identification, structure, external wiring and internal wiring, grounding provides protection against electric shock, dust, solid foreign matter and water, insulation resistance and dielectric strength, electrical creepage distance and clearance, durability testing and thermal testing, heat resistant, and resistance to tracking, screw terminal blocks, screwless terminals and electrical connections, etc., lamps General safety requirements for a detailed provisions. For the specific type of lighting, in addition to reference IEC / EN 60598-1 standards, but also consider IEC / EN 60598-2 series of standards on certain types of lamps, such as IEC / EN 60598-2-10 for children can be moved about luminaires requirements, IEC / EN 60598-2-5 is about Floodlights requirements, and so on.
