What the notification says

Latest notice (⁨G/TBT/N/TPKM/575/Add.1⁩, 17 March 2026)

The latest notice says the measure was adopted or published.

Legal Inspection Requirements for LED Lamp Controlgear

The purpose of this notification is to provide the final texts of 'Legal Inspection Requirements for LED Lamp Controlgear' and relevant dates of its implementation. The draft texts notified in 'G/TBT/N/TPKM/575' were adopted with minor changes.

With the advancement of the lighting industry, LED light sources have gradually replaced traditional sources such as fluorescent lamps. As a result, the use of dedicated power devices, namely LED lamp controlgear, has become increasingly common. To protect consumer rights and ensure product safety, the BSMI proposes to include LED lamp controlgears in the scope of mandatory inspection. The conformity assessment procedure will be the Registration of Product Certification (Modules II+III).
