Lighting Certification by Destination — China Factory Documentation
Every order ships with the certification your market requires. For the EU we issue a CE Declaration of Conformity with the LVD, EMC and RoHS test reports behind it; for North America, UL or ETL listing through our testing partners; for the UK, UKCA; and for the Gulf, Africa and Australia, SASO, SONCAP, PVoC or SAA. Tell us the destination country with your drawing and the route is stated on your quotation.
Common certification paths for lighting projects.
CE Documentation
Typical market: EU / EEA
We issue the CE Declaration of Conformity and supply the LVD, EMC and RoHS test reports behind it. This is a manufacturer’s declaration, which is what EU customs and specifiers ask for — no third-party certificate is required. Testing at an accredited lab takes 2–6 weeks; a DoC built on an existing report is issued in a few working days.
Issued with the orderUL Documentation
Typical market: USA / Canada
UL or ETL listing through our testing partners, to the standard your project specifies. A new UL or ETL listing takes 6–12 weeks including factory follow-up inspection; the certificate reference is stated on the quotation.
Issued with the orderRoHS Documentation
Typical market: Project-dependent
RoHS test reports for the materials and components in the fixture, supplied as part of the CE documentation set for EU and UK orders. They come from the same test set as the LVD and EMC reports, so there is no separate testing run.
Issued with the orderUKCA Documentation
Typical market: Great Britain
UKCA marking for Great Britain, issued with the technical file before the order is confirmed. The UK responsible person is the importer unless your distributor appoints one, and we prepare the file that sits behind the mark.
Issued with the orderSASO / SONCAP / PVoC / SAA
Typical market: Gulf · Nigeria · East Africa · Australia
Destination conformity schemes: SASO for Saudi Arabia, SONCAP for Nigeria, PVoC for Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, SAA for Australia. Each runs through an accredited inspection body and the certificate is issued against the shipment rather than the product line — typically 1–3 weeks once the test report exists.
Issued with the orderCCC Documentation
Typical market: China only
CCC certification applies to fixtures sold inside China and is not required for export orders. For China-market projects it is completed before production is released.
Issued with the orderHow certification works on your order.
Before you order
Tell us the destination market and any distributor requirements (UL, ETL, SAA, GS…). The certification route and timeline are stated in your quotation.
With your order
The confirmed documentation is listed in your quotation and order documentation, so you know what is included before production begins.
For OEM projects
Share your brand, destination market and product brief early. The documentation route is fixed before the order is confirmed.
Project support
For a distributor checklist or project specification, send the requirements with your enquiry so we can confirm the applicable documentation path.
A test report is the evidence; a declaration or a certificate is built on top of it. How certification documentation is supplied on an order sets out who issues each document and how long it takes. Ordering for a hotel project? See the certification note on our hotel and banquet chandeliers.
Ask our engineering team.
Attach your spec sheet or distributor checklist. The destination market, product configuration and documentation requirements are all priced into the quotation.
A redacted test report or a sample DoC tells you more than any quotation line. Ask for one before you order — we send it with the quotation.
