- Prototype testing is the next step in the compliance process. Manufacturers test a small batch of lighting units to verify safety, performance, and reliability. Electrical testing includes checks for overcurrent, insulation, and grounding effectiveness. Photometric testing evaluates brightness and light uniformity. Environmental testing examines heat tolerance, moisture resistance, and impact durability. Prototype testing ensures that potential defects are addressed before mass production.
- Lighting compliance testing also focuses on flicker and glare control. Excessive flicker can cause headaches, eye strain, and reduced productivity. Glare affects comfort and visibility in workplaces and public spaces. Testing measures flicker percentage, modulation index, and luminance distribution. Products that meet flicker and glare standards enhance user experience. Compliance ensures lighting is both safe and visually comfortable.
- Training and expertise are essential for effective compliance testing. Skilled engineers and technicians must understand testing standards, protocols, and equipment. Proper training reduces errors and improves the accuracy of test results. Many organizations invest in continuous education to keep staff updated on changing regulations. Knowledgeable personnel ensure smooth certification processes. Competent teams are critical to successful lighting compliance testing.
