LIA TS43 - Luminaire Fire Safety
This statement has been developed in response to increasing discussion within the market around fire testing of luminaires, particularly the inappropriate use of naked flame demonstrations to question product compliance. TS43 provides clarity on:
- The correct application of fire safety testing under EN 60598-1
- The role of glow wire and needle flame testing
- The risks and limitations of non-standard or improvised “testing” methods
- The importance of validated conformity assessment and technical files
- The role of third-party certification, such as ENEC, in providing additional confidence
