• 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.
  • Failure to comply with lighting standards can have serious consequences. Unsafe or inefficient lighting can cause accidents, health problems, or environmental damage. Manufacturers risk legal action, fines, and brand reputation damage. Non-compliant products may be banned from markets or recalled, leading to financial loss. Compliance testing minimizes these risks by ensuring adherence to standards. Businesses that prioritize compliance protect their customers and their bottom line.
  • 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.
