How to get the UL 1559 Test Report?

Mosquito killer lamps utilize the habits of mosquitoes, such as their attraction to light, movement with airflow, sensitivity to temperature, and preference for clustering. By simulating human respiration, the device lures mosquitoes into a capture cyclone, where they dehydrate and die. Mosquito killer lamps are characterized by their simple structure, aesthetic design, compact size, and low power consumption.

To sell insect killers on North America's online platforms, compliance with the UL 1559 standard is required, along with a test report issued by a 17025-accredited laboratory (China JJR Laboratory).

Safety Requirements and Hazards in Mosquito Killer Lamp Usage

The UL 1559 standard applies to household and commercial insect electrocution devices with an input rating of 250V or below. It does not cover insect killers that use chemicals, ultrasound, or mechanical trapping devices. This standard is implemented to regulate potential hazards such as fire, electric shock, and personal injury during product use.

What is the UL 1559 Standard?

The UL 1559 test report is a stringent certification for household and commercial insect electrocution devices (250V or below). This standard assesses the structural safety, electrical safety, and performance of mosquito killer lamps.

UL 1559 Test Items

1. Corrosion Resistance Test for Metal Enclosures

 - Ensures that the metal casing of the mosquito killer lamp does not corrode during use, maintaining its structural integrity and service life.

2. Plastic Enclosure Evaluation (UL 746C)

 - Evaluates the plastic housing according to specific standards to prevent safety issues such as tipping or cracking during use.

3. Electric Shock Protection Test

 - Uses two testing probes to assess the primary and secondary circuits, ensuring effective electric shock protection for user safety.

4. Electrical Safety Tests

 - Includes testing of current-carrying components, internal wiring, and creepage distance to ensure electrical safety and prevent faults or fire hazards.

5. Testing of Lamp Holders, PCB, Capacitors, Switches, and Protection Devices

 - Conducts a comprehensive assessment of all electrical components to ensure compliance with electrical safety standards.

During the UL 1559 test, mosquito killer lamps undergo rigorous evaluations, including high-temperature resistance, electrical impact, electrical sparks, and insulation resistance tests. The product must fully meet the UL 1559 standards. Additionally, as a high-safety device, it undergoes thorough testing of surface temperature, reliability, and electrical insulation to ensure no potential risks or hazards for consumers.
