LED photobiological safety certification of KEMA
Producers and retailers of Asian LED lighting products can now have their products tested locally for photobiological safety. KEMA Quality is the first testing and certification service provider to carry out CB tests for photobiological safety of LED products in Asia. The company has extended its testing capabilities in Shanghai and Hong Kong to make this possible.
Cost-efficient
For retailers and Asian manufacturers who intend to export their products to Europe (or, in fact, elsewhere in the world), this development offers substantial cost savings. Time to market can be considerably shortened, because there are no language problems or time differences and theres no need to send samples around the world.
Mandatory IEC standards
Luminaries with LED light sources, including self-ballasted LED lamps, can now be tested in Shanghai or Hong Kong, in addition to our existing testing facilities in the Netherlands and Italy. Testing against the following standards: IEC 62471 and IEC PAS 62471-2 has been mandatory under the IECEE CB scheme as well as the European CCA and ENEC schemes since November 1, 2009, in particular for products that use LED light sources.
CBTL
The laboratories in Shanghai and Hong Kong are the first Asian Certification Body Test Laboratories (CBTL) for LED lighting products. Consequently, tests can be carried out locally and the test reports and certificates issued by these labs are accepted internationally by associated certification bodies.
Focus on Lamp Control Gear in Italy
In order to serve the fast-growing Italian lighting sector even better, KEMA has invested in expanding the capabilities of its Italian test laboratory. This is why the CB scope of this lab has been extended to include testing of lamp control gear under IEC/EN 61347-2-2, IEC/EN 61347-2-3, IEC/EN 61347-2-11, IEC/EN 61347-2-12, IEC/EN 61347-2-13, and IEC/EN 62384. KEMA Quality headquarters in the Netherlands were already able to perform these tests, but in order to serve the market better KEMA Quality is extending its scope.
