CE-marking
In order for a luminaire to be marketed in the EU/
EES region it must be equipped with a CE-mark.
The CE-marking, which is compulsory, means
that the manufacturer certies to the authorities
that the product conforms to relevant safety requirements within
the EU. Impartial testing for most products is not required.
Third party certification – for your safety
Fagerhult has chosen, despite third party certi-
cation no longer being required, to continue
with this procedure for its basic range. This is to
ensure that the customer receives products that
conform to all current safety requirements with
the added reassurance of being inspected by an independent body.
Variants of the basic range, for example, products with HF-dim
or with emergency light functionality, are not usually certied by a
third party. However, the safety levels on these designs are just as
high as for other products.
We collaborate with Intertek ETL Semko for third party certica-
tion. This is a company that has vast experience within testing as
with a good reputation across Europe.
The collaboration means our products can be given an S- or ENEC-
mark. S- or ENEC-marking indicates objective testing and inspection
of the electrical component´s safety for:
Fire•
Electric shock•
Mechanical damage•
Radiation and burn injuries•
Environment impact with respect to:•
Intended or expected usage•
Intended or expected usage period•
Expected fault conditions•
Expected, reasonable incorrect use•
ENEC-marking
The S-mark has been well known for many years.
In recent times it has also been possible to ENEC-
mark luminaires. ENEC stands for European
Norms Electrical Certication.
The ENEC system currently encompasses some
21 dierent countries. The ENEC mark has the same value as each
member country’s own approval symbol. A separate agreement with
the supervising national body is required in order to ENEC-mark
luminaires, in our case Intertek ETL Semko, and to certify that the
quality system in production corresponds to the requirements set
out in ISO 9002.
SMTA-agreement – laboratory accreditation
Our laboratory, Technical Centre, has had an SMTA-agreement with
Intertek ETL Semko since 1993. An SMTA-agreement, Supervised
Manufacturers Testing Authorisation, means that we have permis-
sion to carry out all requisite testing for S- as well as ENEC-marking.
The results from these tests form the basis for certication. The
agreement means that Intertek ETL Semko has inspected and
approved our test equipment and quality system as well as the
expertise of our personnel. In addition to annual audits, Intertek ETL
Semko also has the right to visit our laboratory at any time or call in
products for comparison tests.
The Technical Centre is also very well equipped with in struments
to perform other tests on luminaires. Instruments of the highest
quality and accuracy are in place to inspect the product’s EMC-prop-
erties (in accordance with EN 55015), to verify lighting performance
and other quality tests.
Standardisation
We also participate in standardisation work within the eld of lu-
minaires via our membership of the Swedish Electrical Commission
team TK34 and TK89. At the international level we are represented
in the team WG1 LUMEX within the IEC (International Electrotech-
nical Commission). This team discusses proposals for amendments
to testing standards. Consequently, we have the possibility to
inuence new standards as well as keeping ourselves well informed
about future amendments. Being aware of forthcoming require-
ments and seeing trends within standards are very important in the
product development process.

Product safety
Our laboratory, Technical Centre, has had an SMTA-agreement with Intertek ETL
Semko since 1993.
A product’s EMC-properties (according to EN 55015), lighting performance and other
quality properties are tested at the Technical Centre.
