What are the processes, procedures, and documents required for LED lamp conformity certification?

Manufacturers and importers can certify LED lamps under certification method 1 (type test) with the following characteristics:

→ The certificate of conformity is valid for 3 years

→ Certificates are issued to domestic manufacturers or importers

→ Multiple product codes (models/types) can be listed on the same certificate

→ In some cases, foreign test results according to CB scheme may be accepted for conformity assessment.

→ The cost of certification depends on the number of models in the same application. The more product codes certified, the lower the unit price.

Documents required for LED lamp conformity certification under certification method 1 include:

(1) Application form for regulation conformity certification

(2) Product samples: 05 – 10 models / model depending on the type of LED

(3) Technical documentation of the product

(4) PCB schematic diagram and main components list

(5) Domestic or foreign test results (if any)

Testing and filing for conformity certification for LED lights:

Manufacturers and organizations and individuals importing can contact Dt&C Vina to perform testing services and authorize in charge of customs registration.

Pursuant to QCVN 19:2019/BKHCN, testing must be carried out at a designated laboratory (domestic laboratory), or recognized (CBTL laboratory). The laboratory's designated or accredited testing capacity and scope shall include the respective specifications applicable to the product.

Currently, Dt&C Vina is a CBTL-certified testing laboratory and has been designated as a testing laboratory with full capacity to test and provide test reports for LEDs.

Procedures for Announcement of Conformity

According to the provisions of Decree No. 74/2018/ND-CP and Circular No. 28/2012/TT-BKHCN, enterprises must carry out the procedures for announcing the technical-regulation conformity after the technical-regulation conformity certification process is completed. Procedures for declaration of conformity are carried out as follows:

For domestically produced goods: After being granted the certificate of conformity, the (domestic) manufacturer shall carry out procedures for declaration of conformity and submit a dossier at the local Sub-Department of Standards, Metrology, and Quality for registration. business registration. The competent authority will issue a notice of receipt of the announcement of regulation conformity.

For imported products and goods: Procedures for declaration of technical-regulation conformity are carried out through the state quality inspection registration process.

Energy Efficiency:

Pursuant to the Prime Minister's Decision No. 04/2017/QD-TTg - Regulation on the list of vehicles and equipment subject to energy labeling, the application of the minimum energy efficiency level and the implementation roadmap, the lights LEDs are required to reach the minimum energy efficiency level and label the energy after announcing the energy label to the competent authority of the Ministry of Industry and Trade from January 1, 2020.

In addition, LED lights must also have a certificate of electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility and bio-optical compatibility according to QCVN 19:2019/BKHCN of the Ministry of Science and Technology. To learn more about certification of conformity according to QCVN 19:2019/BKHCN, please see our guide:
