Overview of CCC Certification for LED Lamps

Date：2021/7/26　　Clicks：821

Lamps are one of the most frequently used electrical products in our households. Consumers are most interested in the quality of lamps when they start to buy lamps. In recent years, the quality of lamps on the market has frequently been problematic, which makes consumers more More worries and worries. LED lamps are becoming the main products of the new generation of lighting market due to their high efficiency, energy saving, safety, longevity, compactness, clear light and other technical characteristics, and they are strongly driving the rapid development of the environmental protection and energy saving industry. In this issue, we will explain the common problems related to safety requirements in the CCC certification of LED lamps in the form of question and answer.

Light-emitting diode lamps, also known as LED lamps, refer to appliances that can transmit light, distribute and change the light distribution of the LED light source, including all parts and components required to fix and protect the LED light source except for the LED light source, and connect to the power source The necessary line accessories.

How to divide the CCC certification unit?

①Installation method;

 ②Light source type; 

③Anti-shock protection grade; 

④Shell protection grade; 

⑤Mounting surface material and insulation material cover; 

⑥Light control device; The above 6 points are the same and the structure is similar can be divided into the same unit.

Note: For the certified products of LED lamps and LED control devices, the certified products whose nominal power and measured power are both ≤25W and the certified products with nominal power or measured power> 25W cannot be in one unit.

What are the requirements for the parts used in the product?

a) If the parts are within the scope of CCC certification, they must have CCC certification.

Such as: power cord; AC electronic control device (drive) for LED module; electronic/inductive ballast for fluorescent lamp

b) If the parts are not certified by CCC, try to choose parts with CQC certification.

Such as: screw lamp holder; fluorescent lamp holder; wiring terminal; flexible cord switch

c) Some optional parts can be added appropriately.

What are the forms of protection against electric shock?
Class I-basic insulation, protective grounding;
Class Ⅱ-double insulation/reinforced insulation;
Class Ⅲ-power supply voltage SELV, lamp working voltage SELV.

Which parts of Class I lamps must be grounded?
There is only basic insulation between live parts, and metal parts that can be touched (when the installation is completed, when the light source or starter is opened for replacement) or that are easy to contact with the supporting surface.

What kind of positioning and protective measures should be taken for power wiring terminals?
Generally, an insulating gasket is placed under the terminal and fixed with double screws. The purpose is to prevent a strand of free conductor that may come out of the stranded conductor after wiring does not contact metal parts (for power conductors) or live parts (for grounding conductors) .

What are the restrictions on the use of self-tapping screws?
Unless there are proper locking devices (such as spring washers), self-tapping screws cannot be used to connect current-carrying components; unless there are at least two at each connection, self-tapping screws cannot be used to provide grounding continuity.

How to judge which parts of the glass or translucent cover need to be subjected to impact test according to the requirements of fragile parts?

After removing these parts, determine whether the IP protection level of the lamp is reduced, whether the protection against electric shock is still up to the standard, and whether the protection against the hazards of ultraviolet light and light source sputtering is still up to the standard. If there is any negative judgment, it should be regarded as a fragile part and subjected to an impact test.

What are the mechanical performance requirements for live flexible cables used to hang lamps?
A flexible cable with a large enough conductor cross-sectional area should be selected so that the conductor's force during suspension is not more than 15N/mm2, and the weight of the flexible cable can not exceed 5kg.

Under what circumstances need to be equipped with a flexible cord holder?
The luminaire is provided or designed to use a non-detachable flexible cable or cord (power cord or cord, interconnection cable), and it extends beyond 80mm from the luminaire, it needs to be equipped with a cord holder.

How to complete the loop installation of lamps?
The loop installation of the luminaire can only be done through the appliance coupler or terminal block.
