Quality & Certifications

Tested, certified, documented — every fixture

Quality is what scales OEM partnerships. Our QC program combines third-party certifications, in-house photometric testing, and 5-stage production QC.

International certifications

Verifiable test reports for every major market

Our products are tested by accredited third-party labs (Intertek, TÜV Rheinland, SGS, Bureau Veritas). All test reports are issued under our factory name — no rebranded reports.

CE

European Union

EMC + LVD safety directives. Required for sale in the EU.

RoHS

EU + Global

Restriction of hazardous substances — lead, mercury, cadmium and 7 others.

ETL

USA / Canada

Intertek certification to UL standards. Required by most North American distributors.

SAA

Australia / New Zealand

Standards Australia electrical safety mark. Mandatory for AU/NZ import.

CB Scheme

Global

IEC-based mutual recognition. Streamlines national certifications worldwide.

DLC

USA

DesignLights Consortium qualified products list — required for US utility rebates.

ERP

EU

EU Ecodesign / Energy-related Products Regulation 2019/2020 compliance.

TUV

Germany / Global

TÜV Rheinland / TÜV SÜD product safety and performance certification.

Need a specific certification? We can list new SKUs on DLC, ENEC, or country-specific lists on request. Project-scale customers receive free certification consulting.

Quality control process

5-stage QC — from material to container

01

IQC — Incoming Material

Every LED chip, driver, housing and diffuser is inspected on arrival. Suppliers are audited annually.

02

IPQC — In-process

Real-time SPC monitoring on SMT lines. AOI machines catch placement and solder defects before assembly.

03

100% Aging Test

Every single fixture runs 2–4 hours under load before packing. Catches infant-mortality failures.

04

FQC — Final QC

Photometric, electrical, dimensional and cosmetic inspection. AQL 0.65 acceptance level.

05

OQC — Outgoing QC

Pre-shipment inspection on packaged cartons. Photo/video sent to customer before container loading.

In-house photometric lab

LM-80 / LM-79 / IES files on every SKU

We invested in a full photometric lab so we can iterate faster and document every SKU thoroughly. Lighting designers and specifiers get IES files on request, lumen depreciation curves from real LM-80 testing, and integrating sphere measurements traceable to NIST standards.

  • Integrating sphere (φ2m) — total lumen output, CCT, CRI, R9
  • Goniophotometer — beam angle, candela distribution, IES files
  • LM-80 chambers — 6,000+ hour lumen depreciation testing
  • Surge tester (1kV–6kV), HV/Hipot tester, EMC pre-scan
LM-80 / LM-79 / IES files on every SKU — LED Lightning

FAQ

Quality & testing — what buyers want to verify

Honest answers about our reports, aging test, AQL standards and audit policy.

Ask our sales team
Are your CE / ETL / SAA test reports issued in your factory's name?

Yes — every certificate and test report we share lists FireMaple Technology Co., Limited as the applicant. We never share rebranded reports. Original PDFs can be released for verification once an NDA or sales agreement is in place.

What exactly does "100% aging test" mean at your factory?

Every finished fixture is powered on under rated load for 2 hours (4 hours for project-grade SKUs) before it goes to packaging. The aging room logs current draw and temperature for each batch. Units that fail or drift are pulled and traced back to the SMT batch.

Can I request LM-80 and IES files for any SKU?

Yes. Every SKU we have shipped to a DLC or ETL customer has both a LM-79 photometric report and an IES file on hand. We share these on request after an inquiry — no purchase commitment required.

What AQL acceptance level do you ship at?

Our final QC follows AQL 0.65 for critical defects (electrical safety, flicker, missing solder) and AQL 1.5 for cosmetic defects. We can tighten to AQL 0.4 / 1.0 for project orders on request — please specify in the quotation stage.

Do you welcome third-party factory audits?

Yes. We have hosted SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas, BSCI and SEDEX audits. Our team will prepare documentation, walk auditors through the production floor and provide samples for testing. Schedule directly through your audit firm and CC steven@led-lightning.com.
