LED, Luminaries and Other Certifications

LM79 Certification
LM79 testing is done to check the electrical and photometric measurements for LED luminaries on different parameters. Flux (light output), electrical power, efficacy, chromaticity, and intensity distribution are the fundamentals for which luminaries are tested and then if approved new products can go through to launch in the respective markets. This test applies to products with LED-based Solid-state lighting (SSL) based individual goods. With IndianNexus you will be assisted in checking your products through NABL-accredited labs with all the regular processes so the whole process goes smoothly.
LM80 Certification
LM80 is another important test done for measuring the lumen maintenance and lifespan of the respective LEDs. This method is strictly done under controlled conditions i.e. three different temperatures, a minimum of 6000 hours, testing intervals, etc so the result may vary if performed otherwise. It covers the Lumen depreciation of Solid state light sources, such as LED packages, modules, and arrays in determining the final effective values of the products. IndianNexus professional teams are here to guide manufacturers and vendors who are looking to bring their new LED products into the market must undergo these tests at certified labs for precise results.
IP test
Ingress Protection testing is done to check the product's reaction to water, dust, and foreign objects which determines their placement indoors or outdoors. New products being launched in the markets must go through this rigorous check from small dust particles to high jet streams of water which determines the level of product as per their safety, storage, and protection from inside or outside activity. Solid foreign objects and water are mostly used in determining IP testing. With the IndianNexus team, you will get the product examined thoroughly for the right IP testing procedures to get it suitable for launching in the market for long-term benefits.

IP ratings are written as IPXX with the first character degree of protection from solid objects and the second from water respectively.

IK test
Impact Protection or Mechanical impact standards determine the degree of protection that a product has against external harmful impacts like vandalism. International standard IEC 62262 is used in conjugation with IK testing for determining the IK values for the respective products. These ratings values are given from 00 to 10 with 00 being the no protection while 10 means the highest which is based on the amount of joules force applied on the object. With IndianNexus your product will get the important IK ratings for customers to get the right information from recognized labs for efficient results.

EMC test
Electromagnetic compatibility Tests are performed to check the reliability and compatibility of the product performance in their respective electromagnetic environment without affecting any other device working. Mobile Phones, televisions, Washing machines, laptops, etc emit electromagnetic fields that can interfere with each other for catastrophic results but EMC testing ensures that the product works well with other electronic products nearby and is made with all the EMC standards prevailing in the international scope. With IndianNexus you will be provided with thorough guidance on EMC standard procedures that will help your product take on a global reach with all the required certifications from accredited organizations.
Surge test
Surge Tests are the procedures that determine the product capacity without surges in the changes from the voltage of the electricity. These are specifically done to find the faults from turn-to-turn insulation weaknesses, coil-to-coil, and phase-to-phase insulations. Any type of coil from small sensors to large electric motors can be checked for their respective performance in this Surge Test. Insulation in coils depends on a various factor that must be tested for their better performance i.e. thermal cycling, vibration, chemical attack, partial discharge, mechanical movement of coils abrading insulation, exposure to damaging transients, radiation exposure, and VFD operation. Manufacturers must get this surge test done for their motor coils that will give their customers the trust and confidence in using the products universally. IndianNexus professional will personally ensure that your product goes through rigorous checking from recognized labs for complete customer satisfaction.
Driver performance as per IS16104
This IS 16104 standard performance is done for electronic control gear for their effective use of D.C. supplies up to 1000V and A.C. supplies up to 1000V at a regular 50Hz frequency with different output frequencies. These performance standards apply to all LED modules that come under the general lighting category. An LED manufacturer who is launching their new equipment must get their certificated from an accredited laboratory only. With IndianNexus you will be communicating with our market professionals who will make every effort to get your products certified within permissible limits.
Photo Biological safety TM-30- 15
TM-30- 15 is one of the latest methods for evaluating color rendition in the lighting community. This test consists of three basic components Rf (fidelity index), Rg, (gamut index), and Color vector graphic which determines different hue and saturation levels. The color Fidelity Index (Rf), Color Gamut Score (Rg), and Color Vector Graphic consider 99 real-world objects based on 105,000 objects which are used for analyzing a characteristic of color from traditional solid-state and modern light sources. IndianNexus will aid you in making the product ready for comprehensive TM-30- 15 testing and filling in the right forms for getting the certification from accredited labs.
EMC TEST & Certifications
Electro Magnetic Compatibility Testing is done on electrical products for their efficient practices of electromagnetic energy as per the national or International standards prevailing in the country. These tests will check the products in terms of their Emissions, susceptibility, and immunity to Radio frequency interference (RFI) from other sources. These products go through routine EMC routines with a focus on Magnetic Fields, Voltage drops, Electromagnetic Surges, Conducted and Radiated electromagnetic noise, Electrostatic Discharges, and Fast transients as per the product and their electromagnetic energy around them. These EMC tests are done on direct consumer products like Mobile phones, laptops, Ovens etc, Medical Devices, Military devices, and products that inhibit electromagnetic energy of any kind. IndianNexus will assist in every way in launching your new market products by going through these EMC testing procedures in recognized labs in India.
UN (38.3) Transportation Testing for Lithium Cells and Batteries
This important test is done for the Safe Transportation of lithium batteries that is governed and maintained under the United Nations recommendations (UN 38.3). These shipping regulations define the way to transfer these Lithium-ion batteries more safely. Lithium batteries are termed as dangerous goods on their marking. The design of the batteries has to go through a series of tests that make it safe to use, pack, test, and transport accordingly.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Testing
Specific Absorption Rate is the standard unit at which the human body absorbs radio frequency energy emitted from mobile phones. So for mobile phones to launch in the market these tests must be conducted which they must pass to be available for sale to the public respectively. Mobile or Smartphone in India needs to be tested and certified as per accordance O.M. 18-10/2008- IP Dated 17th Aug 2012 Issued by Government of India Ministry of Communications & IT Department of telecommunications which limits the SAR value on Mobile devices to be less than or equal to 1.6w/kg average over 1 gm tissue w.e.f.1st September 2012. All mobile handsets now have mandatory requirements for a hands-free mode to avoid these electromagnetic exposures. With I
