GMA International Certification Capability

GTG's GMA (Global Market Access) team provides UL certification and global market access support for stage light enterprises, with a focus on:

 

• North American Market: UL certification is a common compliance requirement for stage lights entering the U.S. and Canadian markets, involving safety performance evaluation. We offer standard matching, test execution, and coordination services with UL institutions.
• Extended Support: Simultaneously assist enterprises in meeting other relevant requirements in North America (such as FCC Part 18 if wireless functions are included, energy efficiency standards, etc.).

 

We cover over 130 markets including the United States, Canada, the European Union, ASEAN, and the Middle East. Specific details are subject to the latest official requirements (Data source: GTG internal statistics).

Service Process and Factors Affecting Cycles

Service Process

 

• Requirement Clarification: Confirm the stage light model, functions (e.g., whether it includes dimming or wireless control), target market, and test standards.
• Sample Submission: Provide test samples as required (usually 1-3 units, including technical documents such as manuals and circuit diagrams).
• Test Execution: Complete various tests in accordance with UL standards, record data, and generate original reports.
• Rectification Suggestions: If the test fails, provide targeted rectification plans (such as adjusting circuit design or replacing materials).
• Certification Coordination: Assist enterprises in submitting qualified reports to UL institutions and follow up on the review progress.

 

Factors Affecting Cycles

 

• Product Complexity: Stage lights with special functions (such as intelligent control) have a longer test cycle (approximately 4-6 weeks).
• Number of Rectifications: If the initial test fails, re-testing after rectification will extend the cycle accordingly.
• UL Official Review Efficiency: The final certification cycle is subject to the review progress of UL institutions.

Cases and Practices

A stage light manufacturer entrusted GTG to conduct UL 1598 certification testing to expand into the U.S. market. For the issue of excessive temperature rise, the GTG team provided suggestions for optimizing the heat dissipation structure. The second test passed, and the report was submitted within 3 weeks, helping the enterprise obtain UL certification within 3 months.

 

A cross-border e-commerce seller's LED stage par cans needed to enter the Canadian market. GTG simultaneously completed UL certification testing and Canadian ICES-005 (if radio frequency functions are included) compliance checks, integrating reports to reduce repeated testing costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the difference between stage light UL certification and CE certification?
  UL certification is mainly for the North American market, focusing on safety tests (such as electrical and structural aspects); CE certification is for the EU market, requiring compliance with LVD (Low Voltage Directive), EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), etc. There are differences in test standards and items.

• How many samples are needed for stage light UL certification?
  Usually, 1-3 qualified samples are required. For destructive tests (such as fire resistance tests), additional backup samples may be needed, depending on the test items.

• Is UL 1598 applicable to all stage lights?
  UL 1598 is a general safety standard for stage lights. Special types (such as underwater stage lights) may need to additionally comply with dedicated standards like UL 676. It is recommended to confirm with engineers in advance.

• Can GTG's test reports be directly used for UL certification?
  GTG's test data can be used as technical support materials for UL certification applications, but final approval is subject to UL institution review. We provide full-process coordination services.

• How is the certification fee calculated?
  Fees are based on test items, sample quantity, and whether rectification and re-testing are needed. Contact Ms. Chai for a personalized quote.

• Is English supported for report languages?
  Bilingual reports in Chinese and English are supported to meet UL certification and overseas customer audit requirements.

• Is a refund available if the test fails?
  Both parties confirm requirements before testing. If the test fails due to sample issues, the incurred test fees will not be refunded, but rectification guidance will be provided.
