Lighting Standards & Regulations Refresher

Introduction and Overview

This seminar aims to provide an introduction to legal compliance. It starts by explaining how Leg­islation is generated in Brussels and then describes how Direc­tives such as the LVD and ERP are converted into UK law.

You will be shown how this relates to standards which offer a presumption of conformance and support CE Marking. This will include information on RoHS, the latest ERP require­ments for directional lamps and LED lamps and the next version of energy labelling.

The Seminar will then run through:

• BS EN 60598 the safety standard for luminaires
• look at LEDs and safety giving a guide to LED related standards for both safety and performance.
• Discuss Control gear safety BS EN 61347 and Light emissions safety BS EN 62471.
