The utilization rate of LED lamps in the world is extremely high, and the North American market is one of the areas with the greatest demand for LED lamps. LED products that can be seen everywhere in various places in the United States include bulb lights, tube lights, string lights, night lights, panel lights and street lights... LED lights have become a new business growth point for the majority of domestic lighting companies. At the same time, the market has higher and higher requirements for such products. How to quickly master the North American certification requirements for LED lamps has become a top priority for lamp companies to occupy the market.

ETL is a very popular safety certification mark in the North American market. The full name of ETL is Edison Laboratories, which is widely known and recognized in North America. If lighting products want to obtain ETL certification, how to handle it, and how long does the cycle take? First of all, let's summarize the different standards corresponding to different lamps:

Information required when applying for ETL certification:

2. When multiple models are involved, a model difference statement is required
3. List of key parts (such as LED driver, switch, power cord plug...)


ETL certification application process:
1. Submit an inquiry to ETL, and ETL quotes.
2. After the company accepts the quotation, it provides samples and pays the test fee.
3. After the ETL project engineer opens a case, he will conduct product testing and request to complete some supplementary documents.
4. The test of lighting products can generally be completed in 4-6 weeks.
5. After the test is completed, the company will welcome the first factory inspection (IFA).
6. After passing the audit, ETL will issue a certificate.
7. After the enterprise is certified, it needs four factory inspections every year (once every quarter).

The cost of ETL certification and future certification includes the following elements:
