Attention battery powered lighting manufacturers

The year 2025-12-31 is the deadline for EU countries to adopt and implement the EN IEC 60598-1:2024+A1:2024 "General Requirements and Tests for Luminaires" standard, which includes the addition of Appendix W and new compliance requirements specifically for battery powered luminaires!

If you produce battery powered lighting fixtures such as flashlights, headlights, portable work lights, outdoor campsite lights, battery powered desk lamps, solar street lights, etc., you must understand the testing and certification requirements of Annex W.

What requirements does Appendix W involve?

Appendix W mainly focuses on the following aspects to ensure the safety and compliance of battery powered lighting fixtures during use:

1. Battery compatibility and safety

The battery type, charging and discharging safety, and prevention of issues such as excessive discharge or short circuit. For example, monitoring the temperature during charging and discharging:

 

 

One of the abnormal states of the lithium battery charging system is that one battery cell in the battery pack is short circuited, and the remaining batteries in series are charged with a capacity surplus of 50%

 

 

For lamps with charging function, a durability test of 390 hours, etc.

 

 

 

2. Lamp structure and protection requirements

Ensure the structural safety and protection level of the lighting fixtures meet the standards during use. For example, the double fixation of the battery compartment:

 

 

The pressure relief capability of the lamp chamber for storing batteries (especially with an IP65 sealed casing):

 

 

 

3. Identification and Warning Information

Clearly label the usage and safety instructions of the battery to assist users in using battery powered lighting fixtures correctly. For example, for a remote control that uses lithium coin batteries, the nameplate should include illustrations, etc.:

 

 

What are the risks of non-compliance?

If your battery powered lighting fixture fails the Annex W test, you will face the following compliance risks:

Export obstruction: International certification cannot be passed, affecting exports to markets such as Europe.

Customer factory inspection failure: Important customers may request submission of Annex W compliance report, and failure to pass may result in order cancellation.

Certification update delay: Certification updates for existing products (such as ENEC, GS, etc.) may be delayed or rejected.
