Possible power cuts means compliant emergency lighting is becoming still more crucial
There is nothing wrong with the literal interpretation of the phrase ‘Equal and approved’ as long as the selected equipment really is ‘equal’ to the equipment originally specified.
The re-engineering of standard luminaires to emergency use is a practice carried out far more in the UK than in any other parts of Europe. Get the conversion wrong however and the consequences for installers, specifiers and converters alike can be far reaching!
LIA Laboratories Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Lighting Industry Association, has been accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to ISO/IEC 17065 “General requirements for the competence for product certification”, the main ISO standard used for certifying a products safety and performance.
Today, the lighting industry is seeing exciting and dramatic changes, with new technological advances – mainly LED-based - arriving seemingly on an almost daily basis. This means that the demand for lighting testing is increasing fast, and one result is that the Lighting Industry Association (LIA) is planning a new, much larger and more advanced testing laboratory in Telford.
Through its ISO 17025 accredited testing, verification and certification service, the LIA Laboratories provide lighting manufacturers with an independent ‘testimonial’ for their products, giving customers extra reassurance and peace of mind. The LIA laboratories work to build relationships with the supply chain from manufacturers and specifiers, to wholesalers and end users, meeting the needs of the lighting industry effectively.
