GOST-R certification

– GOST – R certification is the Russian national standard certification, which is very important for lighting products. It covers standard requirements for multiple aspects including safety and electromagnetic compatibility of lighting fixtures.

- The electrical parameters of lamps, such as voltage and power, must comply with Russian standards and specifications. For example, the power supply voltage standard in Russia may be different from that in some other countries, and the design of lamps needs to take this into account.

- The fire - proof and anti - electric shock safety performance of lamps must pass relevant tests. In the cold climate of Russia, the cold resistance of lamp materials and their safety in low - temperature environments are also among the factors considered in the certification.

EAC Certification (Eurasian Economic Union Certification)

- Since Russia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, EAC certification is crucial for lamp exports. EAC certification indicates that the product meets the unified technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union.

- For the energy efficiency standards of lamps, EAC certification has clear regulations. Energy - efficient lamps are often more favored in the Russian market, and meeting the energy efficiency requirements in EAC certification is a prerequisite for entering the market.
