• 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.
  • Compliance testing also includes electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) assessments. Lighting products must not interfere with other electronic devices. EMC testing measures emissions and susceptibility to external electrical disturbances. This ensures reliable operation in homes, offices, and industrial environments. Non-compliance can cause electronic malfunctions or regulatory penalties. EMC testing protects both users and surrounding technology.
  • Collaboration with accredited testing laboratories is essential for compliance. Independent labs provide unbiased, standardized testing services. Working with certified laboratories ensures that results are recognized by regulatory authorities. Manufacturers benefit from expert guidance and access to advanced testing facilities. Lab partnerships enhance credibility and speed up certification. Collaboration helps bring high-quality lighting products to market efficiently.
