Certified products

A declaration of conformity to TR EAEU 037/2016 confirms what the product is made of: no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium or brominated flame retardants above the permitted fractions. Elsewhere this requirement is known as RoHS.

Certificates and declarations answer for different things, and one does not replace the other. The TR CU 004/2011 and 020/2011 certificates say a luminaire is safe in operation: it will not give a shock, it will not interfere. The 037/2016 declaration says it is safe by composition, including at disposal. A project document set needs both.

Why this is not a formality

The declaration is issued for serial production, not for a batch: it covers every unit of the listed pieces, however many are made and whenever. A batch document would have to be obtained again for each delivery — and at handover it would turn out that what arrived is not covered by it.

The testing was real: samples were taken in May 2026, an accredited laboratory ran the tests, and the reports are named in the declarations themselves. The entries are open in the Rosaccreditation register — anyone can look them up by number, including your lawyer and your client.

What it gives the client

• In a tender the document set is accepted without correspondence: there is a registration number, a validity period and a list of pieces you can point a finger at.

• At handover built-in lighting equipment requires proof of conformity. Without documents the luminaire either comes down or the site is not accepted — and the composition is already mounted under a two-storey ceiling.

• In a dispute liability for safety rests with whoever holds the documents. If nobody holds them, it rests with whoever installed the fitting.
