M/519 - LED
Mandate addressed to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI to develop standardisation in the field of light emitting diodes (LEDs)
Mandate M/519 requests CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop standardisation in the field of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The mandate aims to establish harmonised standards to support the LED industry's development, ensuring product quality, interoperability, safety, and energy efficiency. This standardisation effort is intended to facilitate market access and innovation, contributing to the broader adoption of LED technology across Europe. The decision on the approval or disapproval of this mandate was referenced in the resolution CEN/BT C025/2013.
Purpose
The mandate M/519 is addressed to the European standardisation organisations CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop standards related to light emitting diodes (LEDs). The objective is to create harmonised standards that support the development, safety, and interoperability of LED products within the European market.
Standardisation request
This mandate requests the involved standardisation bodies to prepare and establish standards governing various aspects of LEDs. This may include performance, safety, testing methods, terminology, and possibly environmental considerations, although specific technical details are not provided in the mandate metadata.
Expected deliverables
The expected deliverables are harmonised European standards related to LEDs, enabling consistent quality, safety, and interoperability of LED products across Europe. These standards will facilitate market access, innovation, and compliance with EU legislation relevant to LED technologies.
Context
Mandate M/519 forms part of the EU’s ongoing efforts to support emerging technologies and promote the internal market by developing common standards. The decision reference CEN/BT C025/2013 reflects the formal approval process of this mandate. Establishing LED standards is critical given the widespread adoption of LED lighting in various sectors and the need for regulatory alignment.
This mandate covers the development of standardisation for light emitting diodes (LEDs), focusing on the products and technologies related to LEDs within the lighting industry.
General Information
This European Standard specifies the requirements for measurement of electrical, photometric, and colorimetric quantities of LED lamps, modules, light engines and luminaires, for operation with AC or DC supply voltages, possibly with associated control gear. Photometric and colorimetric quantities covered in this standard include total luminous flux, luminous efficacy, partial luminous flux, luminous intensity distribution, centre-beam intensities, luminance and luminance distribution, chromaticity coordinates, correlated color temperature (CCT), Color Rendering Index (CRI), and spatial uniformity of chromaticity.
This standard does not cover LED packages and products based on OLEDs (organic LEDs).
NOTE Where the term "LED product, LED device or DUT (device under test)" is used, the term covers LED lamps, modules, light engines or luminaires.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/519 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandate addressed to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI to develop standardisation in the field of light emitting diodes (LEDs)". Mandate addressed to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI to develop standardisation in the field of light emitting diodes (LEDs) There are 4 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
