Lighting equipment with radio communication - safety requirements

This document specifies safety requirements for radio-integrated lighting equipment.
NOTE 1 Examples for lighting equipment are light sources, lamps, luminaires and controlgear for light sources.
NOTE 2 With the radio equipment integrated into the lighting equipment, the lighting equipment itself becomes radio
equipment which is subject to the provisions of the RED.

Overview

EN 50705:2023 - Lighting equipment with radio communication - safety requirements is a CLC/CENELEC standard that specifies safety rules for lighting equipment that has radio functionality built in. It clarifies how integration of radio modules (intentional radiators, receivers or transducers) affects product safety, electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure assessment and regulatory obligations (e.g., applicability of the EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED)). Examples include radio-integrated light sources, luminaires, lamps and controlgear.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and definitions - distinguishes active radio integrated lighting equipment (incorporating intentional radiators) and non-active devices (receivers or passive transducers such as NFC).
• Product safety coverage - radio-integrated devices must comply with the relevant product safety standard for the lighting type (luminaires, light sources, controlgear). Compliance with the chosen standard is considered to cover electrical, mechanical, thermal and photobiological safety when radio equipment is built in.
• Referenced product standards - applicable normative references include multiple EN/IEC standards for luminaires (EN IEC 60598 series), LED modules (EN IEC 62031), LED lamps (EN 62560, EN 62776, EN 62838), OLED panels (EN 62868) and controlgear (EN 61347 series).
• EMF / human exposure - devices must comply with EN 62493:2015. For non-active radio equipment Clause 7 is deemed compliant without testing. For active radio modules Clause 7 may be deemed compliant only if the radio module meets the appropriate EMF safety standard (typically EN IEC 62311), is integrated according to the radio manufacturer’s specifications, and will be used per those specifications.
• Product information and marking - instructions, packaging or marking must state at least the frequency band(s) and maximum RF transmit power (e.g., “Frequency band: 5 GHz (Wi‑Fi)”; “RF power: < 0.1 W”).

Applications and practical value

EN 50705:2023 is used to ensure safe design, testing and market placement of radio-integrated lighting products. It helps manufacturers and compliance teams:

• Apply the correct safety standard for a given luminaire, lamp or controlgear when adding radio functionality
• Demonstrate EMF conformity and RED compatibility
• Provide required product information (frequency bands, RF power) to end users and authorities

Who uses this standard

• Lighting manufacturers and designers integrating wireless modules (Wi‑Fi, BLE, NFC)
• Component and radio module suppliers
• Compliance and regulatory affairs teams ensuring RED and EMF conformity
• Test laboratories and certification bodies
• Specifiers, procurement officers and installers assessing product safety
