Q.1.As per the definition
mentioned in the standard, a
LED Module is a Light source
with/without other electric al
and mechanical components
but not the driver. If we go as
per this, then any luminaire
like general purpose,
recessed, light strip etc. that
are being sold without driver
have to be registered in BIS
as per IS 16103 not with
their respective standard?
The “Standalone” means that the products being
imported /sold/manufactured as independent product.
The LED luminaire such as chain light, rope light s and
the LED modules have been clearly defined in their
respective standards and will have to be registered in
their respective category.
Q.2.As per IS 16103-1 LED Mod
ule are of three types
(Independent, Built In, and
Integrated). Further, as per
Gazette notification
“Standalone LED Modules for
General Lighting” is covered in CRO-4. Hence, please
confirm if this “Standalone”
signifies Independent LED
Module only and not others?
The Standalone LED Modules cover all the three types
of LED module.
Q.3.What is the product category
for the LED Strip’s/LED Ta pe
Light (IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec
7) or IS 10322 (Part 5/Se c
9) or IS 16103-1)?
The LED Strip/LED tape Light are similar to chai n light
and hence they are covered under CRO under the
appropriate category based on technical specifications.
Q.4.Does the Built-in or Integral
LED Module become a critic al
component for a Luminaire,
which will seek BIS
registration prior testing to
the Luminaire?
The “Standalone” means that the products being
imported /sold/manufactured as independent product.
Integral modules not having their own enclosure shall
be treated as integral components of luminaires as
defined in 0.5 of IS 10322 (Part 1). They shall be tested
as assembled in the luminaire.
When the standalone LED module is imported/
manufactured as independent product, it requires
registration.
The Integral modules not having their own enclosure
shall be treated as integral components of luminaires
as defined in 0.5 of IS 10322 (Part 1). They shall be
tested assembled in the luminaire.
Q.6.As per the definition
mentioned in the standard, a
“LE D Module is a Light
source with/ without other
electric al and mechanical
components but not the
driver” If we go as per this
understanding, then any
SELV LED product (i.e. class
3 luminaires without Driver,
LED’s operate d by USB, PoE, LED Strips, LED Tape Light
etc.) will have to be
considered as LED module
only? Kindly confirm.
The LED modules being imported /sold/manufactured
as independent product are covered under the Order
irrespective of their end use.
Q.7.Do LED modules used in
portable and non-portable ap
plications (Portable
Emergency Lights with
manual switch, Table Lamps
and similar other product,
LED Product with solar Panel)
will require BIS certification
in “Standalone LED Modules
for General Lighting” as these
types of LED products are out
of the scope of LED
Luminaires?
The LED modules being imported /sold/ manufactured
as independent product are covered und er the Order
irrespective of their end use.
Q.8.In the LED module if there
are two to three LED lights
are connected with LED
module. Will still be consider
the LED module or it will go
in Rope lighting. Kindly
clarify further.
The Rope lights and LED modules are clearly defined in
their respective standards.
