Zhaga Consortium provides standardization for LED light engines and associated components
The Zhaga Consortium is a global lighting industry organization developing specifications that enable interchangeability of LED light sources made by different manufacturers. With the goal of accelerating LED lighting adoption, Zhaga aims to standardize LED light engines and associated components such as LED modules, holders, and electronic control gear (LED drivers).
Intertek is one of the first independent third-party testing organizations to qualify as an Authorized Testing Centre for Zhaga Interface Specifications, known as Books. Products based on Zhaga Books are already in common use in the global lighting market.
As an Authorized Testing Centre (ATC) for multiple Zhaga Books, Intertek offers customers the option to seamlessly incorporate Zhaga requirements into an overall compliance and testing plan.
