- 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.
- The cost of compliance testing is an investment, not an expense. While testing may seem expensive, the potential cost of recalls, fines, and brand damage is far greater. Investing in compliance ensures product safety, performance, and market acceptance. Certified products command higher prices and customer trust. Compliance testing reduces long-term liabilities and strengthens business reputation. It is a proactive approach to sustainable business growth.
