TM66 Assured Product Verification Scheme

The TM66 Assured Product Verification Scheme is an innovative initiative developed and fulfilled by the Lighting Industry Association (LIA) and endorsed by CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers). This scheme aims to advance Circular Economy practices within the lighting industry.

The TM66 Assured Product Verification Scheme adds a layer of credibility and verification to the already comprehensive TM66 toolkit, which includes the guidelines outlined in CIBSE's TM66 Creating a Circular Economy in the Lighting Industry (click here for the full CIBSE TM66 Publication) and the Circular Economy Assessment Methods (CEAM) used to assess the Circular Economy credentials of lighting products across the supply chain.

By participating in the TM66 Assured Scheme, lighting manufacturers can have their circularity claims independently verified. This verification process ensures the accuracy, objectivity, and consistency of the ratings provided by manufacturers for their luminaires.
