Market Mandatory Compliance
• What do we need to sell lighting products in Europe?
• The CE marking symbolises the conformity of the product with the applicable Community requirements imposed on the manufacturer.
• The CE marking affixed to products is a declaration by the person responsible that: the product conforms to all applicable Community provisions, and
the appropriate conformity assessment procedures have been completed.

Market Surveillance
The European Commission proposed on 13 February 2013 to improve product safety in the EU by strengthening market surveillance in the Member States.
Market Surveillance Minions are expensive and at a time when EU finances are in poor shape proposals are not easily translated into action within each member state
Established in 1998 as a not-for-profit membership association under French law.
To provide a legal entity for the operations of the European certification schemes
To represent the European certification schemes before third parties

ENEC today is the high quality voluntary pan-European mark for electrical products that demonstrates compliance toEuropean EN safety standards
luminaires and associated components, including LEDs
household appliances
IT equipment
safety transformers
couplers and connecting devices
Capacitors, filters
Portable tools
with +17,000 licences covering some
85,000 products:
Osram

General Electric
Schneider
Thorn Lighting
ENEC Mark
12
Independent testing and certification based on European
Safety Standards via accredited testing laboratories
Supports and Strengthens CE marking Declaration of
Conformity
Provides ongoing product and production
monitoring thus overcoming lack of market
surveillance activities
High quality demonstration of compliance through
discriminating product safety marking
Provides access to other European and International
marks such as IECEE CB scheme testing
The importance of voluntary certification and marking
13
One high quality mark recognised
throughout Europe
With identification of the issuing Certification
Body (CB)
Including national differences, if any
Issued by European Certification Bodies
Open to Manufacturers world wide
Testing in Laboratories world wide,
under close control of the European
Certification Bodies

As an ISO 17065 Type-5 scheme, ENEC ensures
compliance for the lifetime of the certification and
includes
third party accredited testing
third party certification
annual factory inspection
ongoing monitoring of products and production
regular monitoring of the Mark in the market place
The same process as UL Listing for USA/Canada
ISO Type-5: full certification scheme
ENEC+
• Launched April 2014
• Lighting Europe and EEPCA joint activity ensuring Lighting Market “buy-in”
• Initially covering LED Lighting Products
• Natural extension to ENEC covering emerging performance standards
• To be eligible must already carry ENEC safety mark (not necessarily through same CB)
• Based upon IEC/PAS standards at present which may become EN standards eventually through CENELEC
ENEC+
• Will align with EU Ecodesign directive requirements (e.g. 1194/2012 DIM2)
• Will align with other national regulatory bodies e.g. Malaysia through IEC standards
• Aiming for future international harmonisation
• ENEC+ qualified testing laboratories allowed from Europe only
• Allows inclusion of qualified manufacturer test labs to submit data for ENEC+ to reduce costs
• Manufacturers can be anywhere
Benefits of ENEC+
• Backs up performance claims through independent accredited certification and testing routes (can be manufacturer)
• Allows fair comparison of performance against other ENEC+ marked products
• Differentiates from non ENEC+ productsand can be argued as better than just CE marking
• Will allow for unified specifications for tender proposals for large procurement activities e.g. streetlighting
• Valid for luminaires with traditional lightsources and will be extended to other electrical products in the future
Other Applicable Documents
• PD EPRS 001 ENEC+ Requirement Sheet 001 provides rules for ENEC+ based upon limited version of IEC/PAS 62717 – LED modules for general lighting –Performance.
• PD EPRS 002 ENEC+ Requirement Sheet 002 provides rules for ENEC+ based upon limited version of IEC/PAS 62722-1 – Luminaire Performance – General Requirements.
• PD EPRS 003 ENEC+ Requirement Sheet 003 provides rules for ENEC+ based upon limited version IEC/PAS 62722-2-1- Luminaire Performance – Particular Requirements for LED Luminaires
LED modules- IEC/PAS 62717

ENEC and ENEC+ Information
• EEPCA certification bodies and labs can provide further information
• http://eepca.eu/index.php where public documents available
Summing Up
• CE marking mandatory but open to abuse because of self-certification and limited market surveillance
• ENEC (safety) and ENEC+(performance) provides key advantages :
– Independent 3rd party certification
– Annual factory inspections
– Ongoing surveillance
– Products clearly marked and listed in open database
– Single mark across Europe
• Manufacturers can differentiate their product in terms of safety and quality in a confused marketplace
