LCTF - CE Marking for Lighting Columns

CE Marking for Lighting Columns

CE MARKING OF LIGHTING COLUMNS TO BS EN 40

Although CE marking is not yet required in the UK it will become mandatory in the not too distant future. However, it is already necessary for columns exported to Europe.
All the major manufacturers of lighting columns met to review the relevant legislation and standards and have published guidance for the UK Lighting Industry on the administration and practical implementation of CE marking lighting columns.
The document is the conclusion of months of research and discussion within the lighting industry and summarises the general requirements for CE marking from the European legislation and UK law, as communicated through the British and European Standards. It outlines the responsibilities of manufacturers and suppliers and sets out the lighting industry's agreed best practice for meeting these requirements for lighting columns manufactured from concrete, steel, aluminium and fibre reinforced polymer composite (FRPC).
