STANDARDS, QUALITY MARKS AND CE LABELING
EN 62493 (for PTi I, PT-FIT I and PTi SNAP devices only)
This standard applies to the assessment of lighting equip-
ment in relation to the exposure of persons to electro-
magnetic fi elds. The assessment contains induced current
densities from 20 kHz to 10 MHz and the specifi c absorp-
tion rate (SAR) for frequencies from 100 kHz to 300 MHz
in the immediate vicinity of lighting equipment.
3.2. Quality marks
3.2.1. The VDE label
By granting the VDE label, the VDE testing and certifi ca-
tion institute certifi es that the relevant ECG conforms with
the safety standards listed in the approval certifi cate from
the point of view of the EC Low Voltage Directive. Certifi ed
products are subject to factory inspection and manufac-
turing monitoring.
At the same time, the approval certifi cate forms the basis
of the EC Declaration of Conformity and the CE marking
made by the manufacturers or their authorized persons.
The VDE label for ECGs for the operation of high-pressure
discharge lamps includes conformity with the EN 61347-2-12
safety standard in conjunction with EN 61347-1.
3.2.2. The ENEC mark
The ENEC mark stands for "European Norm Electrical
Certifi cation" and is the agreed symbol of conformity of
the European Union's inspection authorities. It symbolizes
conformity with the European safety and workplace stan-
dards listed in the ENEC agreement. As is the case with
the VDE label, in addition to indicating the type approval
tests made on the ECG, the ENEC mark also covers the
continuous monitoring of both the manufacturing process
and the relevant products. The number that appears to
the right of the symbol stands for the relevant certifi cation
authority. For example, 10 stands for the VDE test and
certifi cation institute in Germany.
The ENEC mark for ECGs for the operation of high-pressure
discharge lamps includes conformity with the EN 61347-2-12
safety standard in conjunction with EN 61347-1.

3.2.3. The VDE-EMC mark
By granting the VDE-EMC mark, the VDE testing and cer-
tifi cation institute certifi es that the relevant ECG conforms
with the safety standards listed in the approval certifi cate
from the point of view of the EC Directive on electromag-
netic compatibility. At the same time, the approval certifi -
cate forms the basis of the EC Declaration of Conformity
and the CE marking made by the manufacturer or their
authorized person.
The VDE-EMC mark for ECGs for the operation of high-
pressure discharge lamps includes conformity with the
EN 55015, EN 61547, EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3.
3.2.4. The CCC/CQC mark
The CCC symbol is a compulsory safety and quality mark
for a variety of products that are sold in the Chinese mar-
ket. It became applicable on 04/30/2003. In order to be
granted the CCC mark, the product's conformity with
Chinese standards must be certifi ed by a testing laborato-
ry approved by the CNCA (Certifi cation and Accreditation
Administration of the People's Republic of China). The
standard also requires a plant inspection.
There is no CCC mark available for HID ECG. Apart from
the compulsory certifi cation, the China Quality Certifi ca-
tion Centre also provides a voluntary product certifi cation,
the CQC mark. To obtain this mark, products are tested
against standards for quality, safety, EMC, environmental
friendliness or functioning.
The difference between the CCC and the CQC is that the
CCC is compulsory while the CQC is voluntary. The pro-
cess is identical. Since luminaires using HID lamps need
CCC certifi cation, it is advantageous to have the CQC
mark on the HID ECG when applying for approval of the
luminaire.
3.2.5. The C-tick/RCM mark
This is an approval mark of the Australian standards
authorities.
3.2.6. The GOST mark
This is an approval mark of the Russian standards
authorities.
