Enec

ENEC is an English abbreviation, stands for European Norm Electrical Certification and is the European security test mark for electrical engineering products, which also includes lamps. It is given by neutral and objective test or certification points in Europe and then in conjunction with the identification number of the respective examination institute. In Germany this would be the 10 for the VDE (abbreviation for association of electrical engineering).

If a lamp has such an enec symbol, it fulfills all the necessary norms of the applicable European guidelines, in particular EN 60598 and then VDE 0711. In the light area it is also assigned for ballasts or transformers.

In addition, there is ENEC+, which can be found on LED lights and LED modules and is exhibited in Germany as well as ENEC by VDE or TÜV. This symbol shows the consumers that the operation of the marked LED lamp works properly and the product data corresponds to the truth. It ensures, so to speak, a bad purchase of defective goods, since it was previously subjected to an examination and successfully passed.
