GTG Group | Stage Light CE Certification and Compliance Testing Services

What Can We Do for You?

GTG provides specialized CE certification services for stage light enterprises, covering core requirements for EU market access:

• Test Execution: Conduct EMC (electromagnetic radiation, anti-interference) and LVD (electrical safety) tests in accordance with EU directives (2014/35/EU Low Voltage Directive, 2014/30/EU Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive);
• Document Support: Assist in preparing technical files (TCF), including test reports, product manuals, circuit diagrams, etc.;
• Compliance Guidance: Interpret the latest standards (such as EN 60598-2-17, a dedicated standard for stage lights) and provide rectification suggestions.

Service Boundary Description:

• We do not guarantee the CE certification passing result; the final outcome depends on whether the enterprise's products comply with EU regulations;
• Test data is based on submitted samples and does not replace enterprises' responsibilities for design or production;
• The cycle and cost vary depending on product functions (e.g., with wireless control) and test items, subject to contractual agreements.

Applicable Products and Test Items

Applicable Products
Professional lighting equipment such as stage spotlights, moving head lights, LED par cans, follow spots, and special-effect stage lights.

GMA International Certification Capability

GTG's GMA team provides CE certification and extended EU market support for stage light enterprises:

• Core Markets: CE certification is a mandatory requirement for stage lights to enter 27 EU countries and EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries. We offer full-process coordination from testing to technical document submission;
• Associated Services: Simultaneously support other EU compliance requirements, such as RoHS 2.0 (restriction of hazardous substances) and ERP Directive (energy efficiency), reducing enterprises' compliance costs for multiple standards.

We cover market access in over 130 countries/regions, including Germany, France, and the UK (additional UKCA certification required), with details subject to the latest official regulations (Data source: GTG internal statistics).

Service Process and Factors Affecting Cycles

Service Process (Standard Process)

Factors Affecting Cycles

• Product Complexity: Stage lights with wireless modules require additional RF performance testing, extending the cycle by 1-2 weeks;
• Test Pass Rate: First-time test failure requiring rectification and re-testing increases the cycle by 2-3 weeks;
• Document Completeness: Missing technical documents may cause process delays; it is recommended to prepare in advance.

Cases and Practices

A stage light manufacturer exporting to Germany found that its EMC radiation exceeded the standard through GTG's testing. With suggestions on optimizing PCB layout and filter design, the second test passed, and the entire CE certification process was completed within 4 weeks, allowing the product to successfully enter the German exhibition.

A cross-border e-commerce customer needed to quickly enter the EU market with LED stage par cans. GTG provided "testing + technical document packaging services," completing EMC/LVD testing and TCF compilation simultaneously, shortening the compliance cycle by 30%.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What tests are mandatory for stage light CE certification?
  Basic items include EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) and LVD (low voltage safety); if with wireless control functions, additional RED (Radio Equipment Directive) testing is required; if sold to Germany, it may need to additionally comply with the German Equipment Safety Act (GS mark is optional).

• How many samples are needed for testing?
  Routine testing requires 1-2 functional samples; EMC radiation testing may need 1 finished product with complete accessories; destructive testing (such as temperature rise) requires additional backup samples.

• What is the difference between CE certification and UKCA certification?
  CE is applicable to the EU market, while UKCA is applicable to the UK (including Northern Ireland); the testing standards are similar (e.g., EN and BS EN standards), but the certification processes and marking requirements are different. GTG can provide simultaneous support for both certifications.

• How long is the test report valid?
  If there are no major changes in product design, standards, or EU regulations, the report is valid for a long time; re-evaluation of compliance is required after standard updates.

• Is expedited processing available?
  7×24-hour expedited testing is supported, and the cycle can be shortened to 50% of the regular time. The specific situation needs to be evaluated based on sample status and test items; please contact Ms. Chai for confirmation.
