Ligman North America Certifications and Compliance
Ligman North America products and manufacturing processes align with internationally recognized certifications for safety, quality, and environmental management. These standards help confirm that Ligman luminaires are tested, audited, and manufactured to meet recognized requirements across the United States, Canada, Europe, and other global markets.
Why Certifications Matter
At the atomic level, the sun is a nuclear fusion reaction. Hydrogen atoms fuse into helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the process. Solar technology captures a usable fraction of that energy and converts it into electrical power for real-world applications.
That is the key distinction: the sun may be abundant, but the energy available to a lighting system at a specific location is limited by geography, solar angle, season, weather, and time of day. Reliable solar lighting begins by engineering around that reality.
ETL Listed Luminaires
Ligman North America supplies luminaires that have been tested and certified by ETL to UL Standard 1598 for use in the United States and Canada. The ETL Listed Mark is accepted as an alternative to UL and CSA marks and indicates compliance with recognized product safety standards.
Ligman’s ETL certification also indicates that the manufacturing site has been audited and that the company participates in periodic factory follow-up inspections to verify continued conformance. The source page notes that ETL is part of Intertek, which OSHA recognizes as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory, or NRTL.
