Comparison table of differences between old and new specifications：
| project | Old system specification | New system specification (implemented from 116/1/1) |
|---|---|---|
| Scope of application | The LED light source control device is not included in the inspection to be carried out | Independent, built-in LED driver with shell protection (AC≤300V, P ≤500W, for general lighting) is included in the inspection |
| Inspection method | Not applicable | Verification login (type test mode + compliance with type declaration mode) |
| Inspection standard | Not applicable | CNS 61347-1, CNS 61347-2-13, CNS 14115, IEC 61000-3-2, CNS 15663 |
| Certificate validity | Not applicable | 3 years (for those issued on the implementation day from the date of announcement, the validity period will be unified until 118/12/31) |
| ROHS mark | No mandatory requirements | Restricted substances must be marked in accordance with Appendix A of CNS 15663 |
| Commodity inspection mark | none | Must be printed in accordance with regulations, including identification number and restricted substance content |
Jinghong recommends
Plan in place at once：It is recommended to complete the pre-inspection and delivery of samples before the end of 2026 to ensure seamless connection when the new system hits the road on 2027/01/01.
Complete detection capability：Jinghong inspection can provide full-process testing and regulatory consultation such as LED optics, EMI, electrical safety and RoHS labeling to shorten the time to market and reduce the risk of retest.
Jinghong Inspection will continue to track the latest regulatory developments and provide complete product testing and compliance advice services to help the industry successfully respond to the requirements of the new version of the recognized benchmark.
