ICEL Product Certification Scheme
ICEL Product Certification Scheme, marking a pivotal shift from an endorsed model to a fully certified one. This update provides an even greater level of assurance regarding the quality and safety of emergency lighting products.
The ICEL Product Certification Scheme is meticulously designed to offer independent verification of emergency lighting products, establishing a trusted mark of quality that end users can confidently rely on. Products certified under this scheme, and bearing the ICEL Certification mark, undergo a comprehensive review process to ensure they meet stringent standards. This rigorous process includes an in-depth evaluation of both the products and their supporting technical documentation, ensuring that manufacturers' claims are thoroughly verified.
The scheme encompasses a wide range of emergency lighting products, including luminaires, control gears, and batteries. It has been specifically developed to support UK lighting companies that manufacture or supply products for emergency lighting applications, recognising those that adhere to the Low Voltage Directive and the UK Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations.
The ICEL Product Certification Scheme complements the established standards of the ENEC mark and the BSI Kitemark by providing specialised assurance uniquely tailored for the emergency lighting sector. While these certifications already serve as the benchmarks for quality and safety, the ICEL Scheme offers an additional option. This targeted certification may be particularly beneficial for companies seeking a solution that better aligns with their specific needs within the emergency lighting industry.
