Inventory of the LED industry market certification

一. EU market certification
1.CE certification
   "CE" mark is a safety certification mark, as LED manufacturers to open and enter the European market passport. Those who posted "CE" mark products can be members of domestic sales in the EU, in order to achieve the free circulation of goods within the scope of the EU member states.
CE certification can be said to be the world's most advanced product conformity assessment model, it is the first to introduce the concept of modules. Evaluation Module include: A: one for CE mark product assessment by the evaluation module and assessment procedures by these assessments. B: Type tests (carried out by the European Notified Body products fully tested). C: Notified Body review for factory production. D: Notified Body for factory production and its quality management system review. E: Notified Body for review of quality management system for traders and other middlemen. F: Notified Body for review of bulk products imported into the EU ashore. G: Notified Body for products imported into the EU have not yet tested for type including a comprehensive review of the type test.
The CE certification of applications for LED business is very necessary.like us products T8 LED Tube, LED Panel Light, LED Downlight and so on. EU laws, regulations and harmonization of standards not only quantity, but the content is very complicated to obtain the designated agency of the European Union to help is a Province of time, effort, and reduces the risk, at the same time can access the trust of consumers and market oversight bodies. Effective in preventing the emergence of those irresponsible allegations. Even in the case of litigation, the designated agency of the European Union CE certification will be the technical evidence has the force of law. Once punished by the European Union countries, certification bodies and the companies jointly risk, thus reducing the risk of the LED business.

2. RoHS 
   RoHS is a mandatory standard developed by the EU legislation; it stands on the restriction of use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). July 1, 2006, the standard was formally implemented, mainly used for the specification of LED products, materials and process standards, to make it more conducive to human health and environmental protection. Domestic ROHS test laboratory UTS Unifying detection PONY test China measured CTI.
In general, ROHS following six kinds of provisions to the maximum of concentration: Cd: less than 100ppm; Lead: less than 1000ppm; alloy steel is less than 3500ppm; aluminum alloy is less than 4000ppm; copper alloy is less than 40000ppm; mercury: less than 1000ppm;Hexavalent chromium: less than 1000ppm。
Widely adopted by international July 1, 2011, EU ROHS directive published in the Official Gazette (QJ) --- Directive 2011/65/EU. According to the Directive stipulates QJ released into force on the twentieth day after, the Member States must, in 2013, transformed into national law.

二. U.S. market certification
1.FCC
   FCC is the Federal Communications Commission is an independent U.S. government agency, directly responsible to Parliament. According to the provisions of the Federal Communications Regulations (CFR 47 part), where LED products into the United States the need for electromagnetic compatibility certification, called the FCC certification.

The FCC enacted aimed at reducing electromagnetic interference, management and control of the radio frequency range, the protection of telecommunications networks, electrical appliances work properly. According to the use of different certification will be divided into two major categories of Class A, B, A major commercial or industrial use products, such as LED street lights. Class B is mainly used for home-use products, such as LED flashlight.
FCC specification of different LED products are targeted once by the the dedicated certification mark affixed. FCC is quite severe penalties for non-compliant products, people often go bankrupt, unable to stand up, so seldom someone knowingly.

2. UL certification
   UL is Underwriters Laboratories (Underwriter Laboratories Inc.) Shorthand. It is the most authoritative, but also the world engaged in safety testing and identification of large private institutions.
