Luminaires exported to North America.
North American market: U.S. ETL certification, U.S. FCC certification, UL certification, U.S. California CEC certification, U.S. and Canada cULus certification, U.S. and Canada cTUVus certification, U.S. and Canada cETLus certification, U.S. and Canada cCSAus certification.
LED lights North America certification basic selection of standards is basically UL standards, ETL certification standards when UL1993 + UL8750; and LED lights UL certification standards are 1993 + UL8750 + UL1598C, is the lamp holder is also certified together.
Energy efficiency testing.
The U.S. region has not yet included LED bulbs as well as LED luminaires in the scope of control in terms of energy consumption requirements. The California region requires removable LED luminaires to meet the special requirements of the California energy consumption.
In general, there are six requirements standards: ENERGYSTAR energy efficiency certification, Lighting Facts Label energy efficiency certification, DLC energy efficiency certification, FTC energy efficiency label, California energy efficiency requirements, and Canadian energy efficiency testing requirements.
1）ENERGYSTAR Energy Efficiency Certification
ENERGY STAR logo is created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Environmental Protection Agency, EPA) and the Department of Energy (Departmentof Energy, DOE) to ensure that the energy efficiency of listed products meet regulatory requirements, but its voluntary test certification.
Currently for LED bulb products, ENERGY STAR Lampsprogram V1.1 and the latest version of V2.0 can be adopted, but January 2, 2017, must be used Lampsprogram V2.0; for LED lighting products, ENERGY STAR testing requirements version Luminaire program V2.0 has officially in 2016 June 1, 2016 came into effect.
There are three main types of LED bulbs that apply: non-directional, directional and non-standard lamps. Energy Star has strict requirements for LED bulbs related to photoelectric parameters, flash frequency and lumen maintenance and life, test methods cited LM-79, LM-80 two standards.
The EPA will continue to focus on power factor, dimming, flicker, accelerated aging programs and connectable products.
2) Lighting Facts Label Energy Efficiency Certification
It is the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the implementation of the voluntary energy efficiency labeling program, currently only for LED lighting products, it was launched with the intention of "Give them the Facts", in order to allow lighting products to achieve more specific data and higher credibility requirements, from five aspects of the disclosure of the product's true Performance parameters: lumens lm, initial luminous efficacy lm / W, input power W, the relevant color temperature CCT, color rendering index CRI. the scope of the project applicable to LED lighting products are: AC mains or DC powered complete lamps, low-voltage 12V AC or DC lamps, LED lamps can be separated from the power supply, linear or modular products.
3）DLC energy efficiency certification
The full name of DLC is "The Design Lights Consortium". It is a voluntary energy efficiency certification program sponsored by the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP), and DLC certified products are used throughout the United States that are not yet covered by ENERGYSTAR.
