Outline

• CE marking

• ENEC

• ENEC+

Market Mandatory Compliance

• What do we need to sell lighting products in Europe?

• The CE marking symbolises the conformity of the product with the applicable Community requirements imposed on the manufacturer.

• The CE marking affixed to products is a declaration by the person responsible that: the product conforms to all applicable Community provisions, and

the appropriate conformity assessment procedures have been completed.

Market Surveillance

The European Commission proposed on 13 February 2013 to improve product safety in the EU by strengthening market surveillance in the Member States.

Market Surveillance Minions are expensive and at a time when EU finances are in poor shape proposals are not easily translated into action within each member state

ENEC - Growing Certification Scheme

07/05/2013

12

Independent testing and certification based on European

Safety Standards via accredited testing laboratories

Supports and Strengthens CE marking Declaration of

Conformity

Provides ongoing product and production

monitoring thus overcoming lack of market

surveillance activities

High quality demonstration of compliance through

discriminating product safety marking

Provides access to other European and International

marks such as IECEE CB scheme testing

The importance of voluntary certification and marking

13

One high quality mark recognised

throughout Europe

With identification of the issuing Certification

Body (CB)

Including national differences, if any

Issued by European Certification Bodies

Open to Manufacturers world wide

Testing in Laboratories world wide,

under close control of the European

Certification Bodies

Certified products listed on freely available

As an ISO 17065 Type-5 scheme, ENEC ensures

compliance for the lifetime of the certification and

includes

third party accredited testing

third party certification

annual factory inspection

ongoing monitoring of products and production

regular monitoring of the Mark in the market place

The same process as UL Listing for USA/Canada

ENEC+

• Launched April 2014

• Lighting Europe and EEPCA joint activity ensuring Lighting Market “buy-in”

• Initially covering LED Lighting Products

• Natural extension to ENEC covering emerging performance standards

• To be eligible must already carry ENEC safety mark (not necessarily through same CB)

• Based upon IEC/PAS standards at present which may become EN standards eventually through CENELEC

ENEC+

• Will align with EU Ecodesign directive requirements (e.g. 1194/2012 DIM2)

• Will align with other national regulatory bodies e.g. Malaysia through IEC standards

• Aiming for future international harmonisation

• ENEC+ qualified testing laboratories allowed from Europe only

• Allows inclusion of qualified manufacturer test labs to submit data for ENEC+ to reduce costs

• Manufacturers can be anywhere

Benefits of ENEC+

• Backs up performance claims through independent accredited certification and testing routes (can be manufacturer)

• Allows fair comparison of performance against other ENEC+ marked products

• Differentiates from non ENEC+ productsand can be argued as better than just CE marking

• Will allow for unified specifications for tender proposals for large procurement activities e.g. streetlighting

• Valid for luminaires with traditional lightsources and will be extended to other electrical products in the future

Other Applicable Documents

• PD EPRS 001 ENEC+ Requirement Sheet 001 provides rules for ENEC+ based upon limited version of IEC/PAS 62717 – LED modules for general lighting –Performance.

• PD EPRS 002 ENEC+ Requirement Sheet 002 provides rules for ENEC+ based upon limited version of IEC/PAS 62722-1 – Luminaire Performance – General Requirements.

• PD EPRS 003 ENEC+ Requirement Sheet 003 provides rules for ENEC+ based upon limited version IEC/PAS 62722-2-1- Luminaire Performance – Particular Requirements for LED Luminaires

ENEC and ENEC+ Information

• EEPCA certification bodies and labs can provide further information

• http://eepca.eu/index.php where public documents available

Summing Up

• CE marking mandatory but open to abuse because of self-certification and limited market surveillance

• ENEC (safety) and ENEC+(performance) provides key advantages :

– Independent 3rd party certification

– Annual factory inspections

– Ongoing surveillance

– Products clearly marked and listed in open database

– Single mark across Europe

• Manufacturers can differentiate their product in terms of safety and quality in a confused marketplace
