⁣Electrical Safety, EMC & Market Access Seminar on Luminaires at SIQ Ljubljana

19. May 2025

On 15 May 2025 – in the week of the International Day of Light – SIQ Ljubljana welcomed more than 40 R&D engineers, compliance specialists, and lighting-industry professionals from nine countries to its dedicated seminar on luminaires.

Throughout the day, expert presenters charted the fast-moving regulatory landscape, unpacking:

  • the new IEC 60598-1 Ed. 10 and parallel UL updates
  • emerging cybersecurity obligations for connected lighting
  • best practices for factory inspections and production control
  • evolving photometric requirements, including CIE S 025/IES LM-79

Live case studies translated these topics into actionable guidance on electrical safety, EMC performance, and global market-access strategies.

Highlights included:

  • Prof. Matej Bernard Kobav (University of Ljubljana) on human-centric lighting for indoor workplaces
  • Stephen Dahle (LMT Lichtmesstechnik GmbH) with a technical deep dive into goniophotometry standards
  • A guided tour of SIQ’s accredited laboratories and a networking reception rounded off the programme, sparking new collaborations across the lighting value chain.

Thank you to every participant for the questions, discussions, and enthusiasm that turned the seminar into a vibrant knowledge-sharing forum – and to our speakers for illuminating the path toward safer, smarter, and globally compliant lighting.
