certifications
ETL Certification
An ETL (Edison Testing Laboratories) certification is recognized by NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories) – an organization regulated by OSHA (U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration). ETL-certified products are safe to use in residential and commercial settings. Founded in the year 1896 by Sir Thomas Edison, ETL has “built speed, responsiveness and urgency into our processes. Our commitment to helping customers gain the certifications they need quickly and efficiently has never been greater.”
RoHS Certification
Started by the European Union, RoHS compliance is now much sought-after world-wide. RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) “restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products.” The substances banned under RoHS are toxic elements like lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) among others- that pose as a threat to the environment. RoHS compliance ensures the said products are free from toxic elements. They are safe from environment point-of-view as they do not pollute the landfills with toxic waste.
DLC Certification
DLC (DesignLights Consortium) is a non-governmental organization aimed at providing high-quality lights. DLC certified lights are energy-efficient, they perform better, and are also eligible for rebates, helping you further add to the savings. A DLC certification “promotes quality, performance, and energy efficient commercial sector lighting solutions through collaboration among its federal, regional, state, utility, and energy efficiency program members, luminaire manufacturers, & lighting designers etc.”
Energy Star Certification
Energy Star is an energy-efficiency certification awarded by EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) - an initiative by the government of USA. Products that are awarded Energy Star label are highly trustworthy as they signify better quality, energy-efficiency, and a high eco-friendly quotient. These certifications focus on residential-grade products & lights and are also eligible for rebates, helping you further add to the savings.
UL Certification
UL (Underwriter Laboratories) certification is recognized by NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories) – an organization regulated by OSHA (U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration). Commonly seen on electrical products, a UL certificate signifies that the products are safe to use in public spaces. They are checked for hazardous elements and once the lights pass the test, they are certified by UL.
FCC Certification
The FCC-compliance on the lighting products that you buy ensures they are tested for radiation range and are good to be used at home and work from a health point-of-view. Since LED lights are considered unintentional radiators, FCC rules apply to them too. Per FCC, the manufacturers should “use good engineering design and construction techniques, to meet and even exceed the required attenuation of unwanted emissions & extend compliance testing beyond the frequency range guidance traditionally required.”
