Certifications

UL LISTED

UL, formerly Underwriters Laboratories, established in 1894, is a worldwide independent safety science organization. It originated as the Underwriters' Electrical Bureau, founded by Henry Merrill Jr. to evaluate electrical equipment against safety and performance benchmarks.

Today, UL serves as a premier testing authority in the U.S., also assessing Canadian electrical devices. Its mission is to ensure electrical equipment safety. Products bearing a UL-listed certification mark have passed rigorous safety evaluations.

A UL-listed label signifies that the product meets safety criteria defined in UL’s Safety Standards, providing assurance of compliance with established requirements.

ENERGY STAR

ENERGY STAR is a U.S. government-supported initiative promoting energy efficiency. Its purpose is to deliver trustworthy information to businesses and consumers, enabling informed choices.

CycevSun products display the ENERGY STAR logo—a blue label with a white star.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) verifies that products featuring this logo meet independently tested standards for quality, performance, and energy efficiency as expected by consumers.

ETL Certification

Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL), established by Thomas Edison in 1896 under the name Lamp Testing Bureau, initially focused on ensuring light bulb safety. Today, ETL evaluates products against safety standards developed by organizations like UL, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Intertek ETL issues certification marks to verify product compliance with safety regulations in the United States, Canada, and other global markets.

DLC Approved

The DLC (DesignLights Consortium) is a collaboration of utility providers and regional energy efficiency organizations that serves as a leading authority for certifying lighting quality and energy performance. Its mission is to drive broad adoption of efficient, high-quality lighting solutions in commercial sectors.

Utility companies reference the DLC-certified product lists to advocate for high-performance LED lighting in sectors beyond U.S. Energy Star’s scope.

The DLC certification catalog acts as a key standard for assessing premium, energy-efficient lighting products.

FCC Certification

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates and enforces rules for products emitting radio frequencies or electromagnetic interference that could endanger the public or disrupt radio communications. These requirements fall under Title 47, Section 2.907 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

FCC certification for radio frequency (RF) devices involves rigorous procedures due to their potential to interfere with radio services. Testing data submitted to the FCC must come from laboratories accredited by the FCC.

CycevSun’s LED recessed lights and devices with remote, Bluetooth, or WiFi functions are FCC-certified, as they are classified as RF devices and must comply with FCC regulations.

CE

The abbreviation "CE" represents the French term Conformité Européene (European Conformity). The CE Mark certifies that a product is legally marketable within the European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA).

It verifies compliance with essential requirements, performance criteria, and Harmonized Standards established by European regulatory bodies like CEN and CENELEC.

These standards outline mandatory technical specifications for products.

RoHS

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is a mandatory regulation under EU law. Its full name, the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, restricts specific harmful substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Enacted on July 1, 2006, the standard governs material and manufacturing standards for electronic devices to enhance human health and environmental safety.

The maximum permitted concentrations for the six restricted substances are:

• Cadmium: Less than 100 ppm
• Lead: Less than 1000 ppm
• Hexavalent chromium: Less than 1000 ppm
• Mercury: Less than 1000 ppm
• Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB): Less than 1000 ppm
• Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE): Less than 1000 ppm

UKCA

The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) mark is a safety and compliance certification for products sold in the UK market. It took the place of the CE mark after the UK’s departure from the EU. This certification ensures products meet UK safety and technical regulations, applying to a wide range of goods sold or utilized within the UK.

The UKCA mark confirms alignment with UK legal requirements, serving as a key indicator for manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers. Products with UKCA certification can legally enter the UK market, demonstrating adherence to British safety standards and strengthening market position and consumer trust.
