Pan-European mark certifies initial performance of LED luminaires
The performance rating provides the market with certification as to the compliance of LED light fixtures and other luminaires, proving compliance with European safety standards and ensuring the reliability of their stated performance characteristics at the beginning of their life cycle.
EEPCA and LightingEurope is aiming to develop a certification scheme that covers the full performance of traditional and LED luminaires. Keeping pace between the ENEC+ scheme and new technological and legislative progress is at the core of the philosophy shared by both associations – as well as seeing the development of the scheme as a permanent work in progress.
ENEC+ has been developed on the basis of the ENEC Mark, which for more than 20 years has established itself as the leading pan-European mark of quality and safety, providing authoritative assurance of compliance with European standards. Today, the ENEC Mark covers some 85,000 products and is recognised by more than 21 European countries.
ENEC+ is complementary to the ENEC Mark: only ENEC-safety certified products are eligible for ENEC+. As a voluntary scheme, it represents a deliberate choice made in favour of the market: professional users of luminaires, whether LED based or not, have a powerful instrument to choose a safe and reliable product and manufacturers have a tool to show their commitment to bringing safe and reliable products to the market.
