What are the requirements for Office LED Pendant Light Fixtures in European countries?

European countries’ requirements for commercial lighting or office lighting LED lamps mainly focus on the following aspects:

1. Safety requirements:

For LED modules, they should comply with the safety requirements of EN62031, and LED module connectors should comply with the corresponding requirements in EN 60838-2-2.For LED pendant lights,they should comply with the safety requirements of the corresponding lamp standards in the EN60598-1 and EN60598-2 series. In addition, the requirements of the standard EN 62493 for the evaluation of lighting equipment involving human exposure to electromagnetic fields must also be met.

2. Energy efficiency requirements

Office LED pendant lights need to comply with relevant energy efficiency standards. There are specific requirements for the maximum energy efficiency index EEI of lamps. In addition, the no-load power, standby power and load efficiency of the control device will also be considered.

3. Functional testing requirements

There are also specific requirements for functional testing of LED lighting equipment, including lamp survival rate and lumen maintenance rate for 6,000 hours, number of switches before failure, start-up time, 95% lumen rise time, premature failure rate, color rendering index, and color tolerance (requirements for color consistency), power factor PF, etc.

4. Electromagnetic compatibility requirements

Since commercial lighting LED fixtures need to be connected to the power grid, electromagnetic compatibility is also an important consideration. LED lamps need to pass electromagnetic compatibility testing to ensure that they will not cause interference to other electronic equipment and will not be interfered by other equipment.

5. RoHS certification requirements

In order to protect human and environmental health, LED lamps need to pass RoHS certification to ensure that the materials used do not contain harmful substances.

European countries have very strict requirements for commercial lighting and office LED pendant lights, aiming to ensure product safety and energy efficiency while protecting the safety of consumers and the environment.
