Key questions Draper’s panel will address include how regulatory systems based on self-certification influence the formulation of lighting-related technical provisions, what aspects of the UN (ECE) system are unacceptable in self-certification regions, and how we can move forward to synchronise provisions despite the differing legal structures.
The growing global trend to base the technical and performance requirements of the world’s various certification and approval systems on the UN requirements has been regularly discussed. Examples of this trend are found in the Chinese GB standards and certification, Korean certification, Taiwan certification, ACEAN certification, Brazilian and Indian Regulations, etc.
