Title: LED copper wire string light UL588 test report handling process and requirements.
1. Overview. LED copper wire string lights sold in the North American market must meet the UL588 test standard and obtain the corresponding test report. The test report is used to prove that the product meets the local safety and performance requirements and ensures that it is safe for consumers to use. This article will introduce in detail the process and requirements of the UL588 test report of LED copper wire string lights.
2. Test requirements.
1.Sample requirements.
To apply for UL588 test report, you need to provide samples that meet the test requirements, and the number of samples is generally required to be 3 finished products, each finished product contains a complete circuit system, and it is the same batch of products. Samples should meet the following requirements:
1) The sample should be consistent with the actual sales product, including appearance, size, material, color, etc.;
2) The sample should have a complete circuit system, including LED lamp beads, wires, power adapters, etc.;
3) The samples should be the same batch of products to ensure the reliability of the test results.
2.Test items.
The UL588 test report covers the following test items:
1) Electrical parameter test, including input voltage, current, power, etc.;
2) Fire performance test, including withstand voltage, insulation resistance, creepage distance, etc
3) Mechanical property test, including tensile strength, elongation, flexural strength, etc.;
4) Environmental adaptability test, including waterproof, dustproof, high temperature resistance, etc
5) Energy efficiency performance test, including light efficiency, color temperature, color rendering index, etc.
3. Handling process.
1.Submit a sample.
First of all, the samples that meet the requirements need to be submitted to the UL certification body for testing. Submitted samples should meet the above requirements, along with a detailed sample description and specifications.
2.Sign a contract and pay the fee.
Sign a certification contract with the UL certification body to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. Pay the corresponding certification fee according to the contract.
3.Testing and audit phase.
After receiving the sample, the UL certification body will conduct various tests and issue the corresponding test report. After the test report is completed, the UL certification body will review the report to ensure the safety and compliance of the product.
4.Certification and publication of reports.
If the audit is passed, the UL certification body will issue a UL588 test report and publicize it on the UL official **. If the review is not passed, the corresponding rectification and re-submission of samples for testing will be required.
4. Precautions.
1.When handling the UL588 test report, it is necessary to provide true and accurate samples and related information to ensure that the samples are consistent with the actual products sold.
2.Samples submitted should be as variable and representative as possible to ensure the reliability of test results.
