Testing for the Lighting industry

The lighting industry has seen significant change in recent years due to changes in technology, mainly through the growth of LED, and the drive to increase energy efficiency. LED lighting has the capacity to produce electromagnetic emissions and therefore EMC testing is increasingly important to show that your product will not affect, or be affected by, other products in the same environment.

Cranage can offer testing and certification for all types of lighting products, as per Regional and International requirements. In the UK and Europe, the following regulations and Directives apply to lighting equipment used in the home or commercially, although the European Directives will be updated for UK equivalents:

-CE Marking Directive
-Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
-Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC)
-Electromagnetic Fields Directive (EMF)
-Artificial Optical Radiation Hazard Directive (AOR)
-General Product Safety Directive (GPSD)
-Energy Related Products Directive (ErP)
-Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)
-Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)
-Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
-Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)
-Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Directive
-UK Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations
