Introduction
How to place luminaries on the EU market?
 Meet all necessary requirements (e.g. LvD, EMC, ErP, RoHS,…).
 Establish a technical file and declare conformance with relevant directives.
 Mark the product with ‘CE’.
 Ensure that the ongoing production meets the requirements and have it documented.

EN 60598-1 and it’s role for CE marking
How to ensure that luminaries meet the necessary safety requirements of the
EU market?
 Verify the luminary against the safety objectives of the LvD (2014/35/EU) by best applying
harmonised standards published in the EU Official Journal (OJ) like : EN 60598-1

Keeping the technical file for CE marking and up to date
The manufacturer shall establish the Technical Documentation / File.
 The documentation shall:
 make it possible to assess the product’s conformity to the relevant requirements, and shall include an adequate
analysis and assessment of the risk(s).
 specify the applicable requirements and cover, as far as relevant for the assessment, the design, manufacture and
operation of the product.
 wherever applicable, contain at least the following elements:
 a general description of the product,
 conceptual design and manufacturing drawings and schemes of components, sub-assemblies, circuits, etc.
descriptions and explanations necessary for the understanding of those drawings and schemes and the operation of
the product,
 a list of the harmonised standards and/or other relevant technical specifications the references of which have
been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, applied in full or in part, and descriptions of the
solutions adopted to meet the essential requirements of the legislative instrument where those harmonised standards
have not been applied. In the event of partly applied harmonised standards, the technical documentation shall specify
the parts which have been applied,
 results of design calculations made, examinations carried out, etc., and
 test reports.
 Additional documentation as required by the relevant directive or regulation
 Information to user, installer, maintenance staff, recycler, .. e.g. manuals, warnings, marking, etc.
 Storage of documentation in general 10 years after last product was manufactured
 Some directives require the documentation in EU language and a availability of within 10 days on request
 Missing technical documentation can mean non-compliance with a directive and stop the product at customs

Keeping the technical file for CE marking and up to date
What would the next step be?
 Analyse if a new directive is applicable e.g. new LvD, RED, etc.
 Analyse if new requirements or standards are applicable
 look ahead as some draft standards are already published to do a one time update
 Is the product meeting the latest requirements
 Are marking and manuals up-to date
 Are there new alternative components added
 Is the Technical Documentation/ File up-to date
 Is the Declaration of Conformity up-to date
Talk to TÜV SÜD to get your Test Report and Certificates updated to stay ahead.
