LED Lighting Compliance

LED Light EU Compliance Guide

LED lighting products can combine electrical safety, EMC, substance, waste, ecodesign and energy-labelling requirements. Product architecture and whether the item is a light source, luminaire or separate control gear matter.

Potentially relevant compliance areas

Evidence worth preparing

Photometric and electrical specifications
Electrical safety evidence
EMC test evidence
Energy-performance data
Material declarations
Labels, technical documentation and declarations

Questions that change the compliance path

  1. Is the product a light source, luminaire or separate control gear?
  2. What are the input voltage and driver architecture?
  3. Is the light source replaceable?
  4. Does the product include smart or wireless functionality?
  5. Is an EU energy label or EPREL-related workflow relevant to the product type?

Frequently asked questions

Do LED light sources have EU ecodesign requirements?

In-scope light sources and separate control gears are covered by EU ecodesign requirements, including Regulation (EU) 2019/2020.

Can an LED product also need energy labelling?

Certain in-scope light sources are subject to EU energy-labelling rules, so product classification should be checked before artwork and listing data are finalized.

What if an LED light also has Bluetooth or Wi-Fi?

Wireless functionality can introduce the Radio Equipment Directive in addition to lighting, material and environmental requirements.
