Certification mark for Outdoor lighting

In the scope of the energy efficiency testing basic tests are carried out on the product. Products that carry this certification mark have achieved a total mains efficacy of 160 lm/W or higher according to annex II of (EU) 2019/2015.

As part of this test, battery and solar-powered products are examined and evaluated for their maximum lighting duration.

As part of the flicker testing, the products are examined for their light stability in order to prevent unpleasant visual effects and premature eye fatigue.

Another focus in addition to product quality is product safety. Product safety is verified in safety tests carried out by TÜV SÜD. The statement “Safety tested” on the bottom of the octagon indicates that the product was tested and certified by the independent third-party organisation of TÜV SÜD Product Service for conformity with the essential technical safety requirements.

The certification criteria vary depending on the products in question.

Certification is based on product-specific standards and test programmes. These standards and test programmes are identified on the certificate in question. You can find this certificate online in our certification database.

The testing for weather resistance is including UV resistance testing, temperature resistance testing, corrosion resistance testing and testing for intrusion of water.
