Main Certificate FCC/UL/ETL/DLC for Lamps Export to North America Market

Main Certificate FCC/UL/ETL/DLC for Lamps Export to North America Market

Main Certifications for Export to North American Market:

Lighting products exported to the North American market also need to meet the requirements of electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, energy efficiency and chemical testing in accordance with U.S. regulations. The following are the main certifications for entering the North American market; (For the certification of lighting FCC/UL/ETL/DLC, the safety and magnetic testing engineer can be consulted)

_FCC (Electromagnetic Compatibility Test)

Standard: Part15

UL/ETL (Safety Requirements Testing)

Standard: UL1598 UL8750

DLC (U.S. Department of Energy - Energy Efficiency)

Standard: DLC 4.1

Energy Star Enginestar (Energy Efficiency Certification)

Material required for certification and comparison of difficulty

1. At present, the export of FCC certification to the United States is mandatory, so products exported to the United States must apply for FCC, otherwise they will face adverse consequences such as returns if they are sampled by the customs or the market. The application of FCC: to provide relevant information about samples and products, to issue FCC certificates and reports by the certification authority, the cost of FCC is relatively low, and the relevant test reports can be obtained within 5 working days or so. Sue.

2. UL/ETL is a safety certification, mainly considering the safety performance involved. The cost of certification is higher, UL will be higher than ETL. This is a relatively long cycle, and the product requirements will be higher. According to the specific product needs, the relevant standards will be used to assess whether the product meets the requirements. The information required for application is as follows:

(1) Verify carefully and provide the final model difference list;

(2) Providing product specifications;

(3) Provide the list of key components CCL;

(4) Provide Bom table;

(5) Provide the schematic diagram of the driving circuit (as long as the principle is different, it needs to be provided separately);

(5) Provide the screen prints of the front and the back of the driver, and the positive and negative must be provided separately (as long as the screen prints are different, they need to be provided separately);

(5) Provide specifications for beads;

(5) Provide the schematic diagram of each type of lamp bead board (several series and several parallel), and the alignment diagram of lamp bead board;

Provide all transformers and inductance specifications.

_Provide product labels; Provide dimension drawings of lamp head, radiator, lens, lamp bead board and other parts.

3. DLC and Energy Star Engineer are both energy efficiency certification. They are energy efficiency certification for different types of lamps. One kind of lamp can only be included in one of the categories without duplication. The premise of applying for these two types is that a secure certificate, UL/ETL, etc., is needed. Otherwise, it will not be possible to apply. The information required for application is as follows:

Safety report of lamps and lanterns

(2) Specification of LED beads

(3) LED lamp beads LM80 Report

(4) Product Instructions

5-year Quality Assurance Statement
