In Singapore, importing LED products requires compliance with a series of restrictions and standards to ensure their safety and energy efficiency, aligning with local regulations and specifications. Below is a detailed guide.

 

Certification Standards

1. PSB Certification

PSB certification is a mandatory safety certification in Singapore, managed by the Singapore Standards, Productivity, and Innovation Board. It aims to protect consumer safety, maintain market order, and promote international trade. Only LED products with this certification can be sold in Singapore.

 

Certification Process: 

1. Preparation of Documents 

- CB certificate and test report (valid within three years, English version only). 

- Labels, circuit diagrams, layout, BOM (Bill of Materials), structural/engineering drawings, parts list, English user manual, and color photographs. 

2. Application Submission 

- A Singapore-registered company must submit the application to the PSB certification body or third-party testing institution. Accurate product and company information must be provided. 

3. Product Testing 

- Testing covers structure inspection, Electrical Testing, mechanical testing, fire resistance, and chemical analysis to ensure compliance with relevant safety standards. 

4. Report Review and Audit 

- The certification body reviews test reports, may request additional information or further testing, and may conduct factory inspections. Inspections cover production equipment, quality control systems, and personnel qualifications. 

5. Issuance of Certificate 

- Upon passing the tests and review, a PSB certification certificate is issued. The certificate is typically valid for three years and must be held by a local Singaporean company. Each certificate applies to a single product model.

 

cb certification 

CB certification, issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), is an internationally recognized safety standard. Singapore accepts CB certification as one basis for compliance with safety standards.

 

Safety and Quality Standards

1. Electrical Safety Standards 

Singapore imposes strict electrical safety requirements, generally based on IEC 60335 series standards and specific local standards such as SS IEC 62776:2015. Key parameters include: 

- Rated voltage, rated current, and insulation resistance. 

- Insulation materials must provide sufficient resistance to prevent electrical shock accidents.

 

2. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Requirements 

LED products in Singapore must meet EMC requirements, covering electromagnetic radiation emission limits and interference immunity. 

- Radiation Emission: Radiation intensity during normal operation must be within limits to avoid interfering with other electronic devices. 

- Interference Immunity: Products must maintain normal performance when exposed to external electromagnetic interference, avoiding issues like flickering or shutdown.

 

Energy Efficiency Standards

Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) sets energy efficiency standards and labeling requirements to promote energy conservation.

 

1. Energy Efficiency Standards 

- LED products are graded based on parameters like luminous efficacy, color rendering index, and power factor. Higher efficiency grades indicate lower energy consumption for the same lighting output. 

- Products failing to meet the minimum energy efficiency standards are prohibited from sale. 

 

2. Energy Labeling Program 

- Since 2015, the NEA mandates energy labeling for specific lighting products, with a one-year transition period. 

- LED products must display energy labels showing efficiency grades and energy consumption to help consumers make informed choices.

 

Key Considerations

1. Stay Updated: 

Monitor updates to Singapore's regulations on energy efficiency, safety, and environmental standards for LED products. 

 

2. Plan Ahead: 

Arrange for product testing and certification in advance to meet Singapore's import requirements.

 

3. Effective Communication: 

Maintain good communication with Singapore Customs and other regulatory bodies. Respond promptly to inquiries and requirements, and cooperate with inspections and audits.
