Energy Efficiency / Ecodesign for Light Sources (Georgia EU-approximated programme)?

Georgia is progressively approximating EU light-source ecodesign/energy-efficiency requirements （EU Reg 2019/2020 model） under the DCFTA. Because the 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China, lm/W figures map directly: CN Grade 2 （≥80 lm/W） roughly aligns with the EU-model minimum, while CN Grade 3 （70 lm/W） may fall short where adopted. The EU model also adds CRI, lifetime, and power-factor minimums not fully in GB 30255. Approximation is phased — verify the exact thresholds and their mandatory status in the current Georgian technical regulation before relying on them.

Energy Labelling for Light Sources (Georgia EU-approximated label programme)?

Georgia is progressively approximating the EU energy-labelling model for light sources （EU Delegated Reg 2019/2015）. The EU-model A-G class is EEI-based and differs from the lm/W-based CN CEL grade, so the CN grade does not map to a label class. Because the 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China the efficacy inputs are comparable, but the label class and any national EPREL-equivalent registration must follow the applicable Georgian method. This is phased — verify the exact labelling/registration obligation and its timing in the current Georgian technical regulation; an in-country importer typically bears the responsibility.

EMC Emissions — CISPR 15 / EN 55015 basis (Georgia EU-approximated EMC)?

EMC emissions for LED luminaires in Georgia are governed by a GEOSTM-administered framework approximating the EU EMC Directive, with CISPR 15 / EN 55015 as the recognised basis. Limits are broadly harmonised with CN GB 17743 （both CISPR 15-derived） and the 220/380 V 50 Hz mains matches China, so re-testing burden is reduced — but Chinese CCC evidence is not automatically accepted and an in-country importer typically bears conformity. Smart luminaires with wireless functions additionally require GNCC radio authorisation.

EMC Immunity — IEC/EN 61547 basis (Lighting Equipment Immunity)?

EMC immunity for LED luminaires in Georgia is addressed within the GEOSTM-administered framework approximating the EU EMC Directive, with IEC/EN 61547 as the recognised technical basis. The content is largely harmonised with CN GB/T 18595 （both IEC 61547-derived） and the 220/380 V 50 Hz supply matches China, so re-testing burden is reduced — but CN GB/T 18595 is only a recommended standard and CCC documentation may lack immunity reports. Include IEC/EN 61547 immunity evidence in the technical file and confirm whether re-testing is required for Georgian conformity.

Photobiological Safety — Blue Light Hazard (IEC/EN 62471 Risk Groups, Georgia)?

Photobiological risk-group classification for regulated LED products is expected as Georgia approximates the EU light-source framework, with IEC/EN 62471 as the recognised method （and IEC 62471-7:2023 for LED-specific assessment）. The classification is independent of supply voltage, so the 220/380 V 50 Hz match with China is irrelevant to the outcome; a China assessment to GB/T 20145 is largely portable, but CN enforcement is recommended-only. Document the risk group in the technical file （RG2/RG3 require warnings/restrictions） and confirm whether the classification is yet mandatory under the current Georgian technical regulation.

Blue Light Hazard Class on Product Label (Georgia EU-approximated label model)?

A blue-light-hazard class on the product label is part of the EU energy-labelling model （EU Delegated Reg 2019/2015 Annex VI） that Georgia is progressively approximating; it has no Chinese regulatory equivalent. The class derives from photobiological testing （commonly IEC/EN 62471） and is voltage-independent, so the 220/380 V 50 Hz match with China is irrelevant. Where adopted in Georgia, add the plain-language class to product labels and online listings — but confirm whether and from when it is mandatory under the current Georgian technical regulation, as approximation is phased. An in-country importer typically bears labelling responsibility.

RoHS — Restriction of Hazardous Substances (Georgia approximating EU RoHS; current status)?

Georgia is gradually approximating EU RoHS under the DCFTA but, as of mid-2026, does not yet operate a full binding 10-substance RoHS regime across all EEE — this is honestly a direction of travel, not a fully in-force restriction. A CN GB/T 26572-compliant product already covers the original 6 substances at EU-equivalent thresholds; the main forward gap is the 4 phthalates （DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP） absent from CN RoHS. Prepare materials and a substance declaration to the full EU RoHS model, but verify the precise mandatory status, list, and effective date in the current Georgian technical regulation before relying on it.

Chemicals in Articles / SVHC-style Notification vs CN Chemical Regulations (Georgia)?

A REACH-Article-33-style SVHC supply-chain notification duty is the EU reference model, but neither Georgia nor China currently imposes a binding equivalent — for the Georgian market alone this is not an in-force obligation today. If the same LED luminaires are also placed on the EU market, EU REACH Article 33 （and possible SCIP notification） applies in full. Georgia is gradually approximating EU chemicals legislation under the DCFTA, so monitor for future obligations and screen against the ECHA Candidate List as EU-ready good practice. Verify the current Georgian chemicals/technical regulation before assuming any in-force duty.

Short answer

A Chinese LED luminaire manufacturer exporting to Georgia should expect a framework that is being progressively approximated to the EU under the DCFTA, administered by GEOSTM (Georgian National Agency for Standards and Metrology) with national conformity and market surveillance: electrical safety based on IEC 60598-1 / GEOSTM-adopted standards (EU LVD-style); EMC requirements aligned with IEC/CISPR 15 emission and IEC 61547 immunity bases; energy-efficiency / ecodesign programmes referencing EU light-source thresholds; photobiological safety classification per IEC/EN 62471; and EU RoHS approximation that is being phased in (not yet a fully mandatory 10-substance regime in all respects — confirm current status). Georgia's 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China, so no voltage/frequency redesign is needed. Smart/wireless luminaires additionally need GNCC (Georgian National Communications Commission) authorisation. An in-country importer typically bears conformity and labelling responsibility. None of this is covered by existing Chinese CCC certification; confirm the exact applicable Georgian technical regulation per product before shipment.

Energy Efficiency / Ecodesign for Light Sources (Georgia EU-approximated programme)	China's equivalent is GB 30255-2019 （Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires）. It defines three energy efficiency grades: Grade 1 （highest）: ≥90 lm/W; Grade 2: ≥80 lm/W; Grade 3: ≥70 lm/W. Grade 3 is the minimum for market entry in China. China Energy Label （CEL） registration is mandatory for GB 30255-covered products, administered by SAMR. GB 30255 does not comprehensively cover power factor, CRI minimums, or lifetime requirements in the same binding way as the EU-model ecodesign reference Georgia is approximating. China and Georgia share the same 220/380 V 50 Hz grid, so lm/W figures are directly comparable.GB 30255-2019 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires (SAC/SAMR) China Energy Label (CEL) scheme — administered by SAMR	Georgia is progressively introducing energy-efficiency and ecodesign requirements for light sources as part of approximating EU technical regulations under the DCFTA, administered within the GEOSTM standards framework alongside national energy programmes. The recognised reference is the EU light-source ecodesign model （Commission Regulation （EU） 2019/2020）, which sets minimum performance for light sources: minimum luminous efficacy （on the order of ~approx. 85 lm/W for many lamp types, with exact thresholds varying by sub-category）, minimum colour rendering index （CRI/Ra ≥80 for general lighting）, minimum rated lifetime （≥6,000 h for most LED lamps）, power factor （≥0.9 for luminous flux ≥25W）, survival factor, and colour consistency. As Georgia's grid is 220/380 V 50 Hz （matching China）, efficacy figures map directly. The precise thresholds and the timing of mandatory entry into force in Georgia must be verified against the current Georgian energy/ecodesign technical regulation, because approximation is phased.EU-Georgia DCFTA — approximation of EU ecodesign/energy technical regulations for energy-related products Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/2020 — Ecodesign requirements for light sources and separate control gears (reference model for Georgian approximation) GEOSTM / national energy programmes — Georgian standards framework and energy-efficiency programmes	Because the grid is identical （220/380 V 50 Hz）, lm/W figures map directly between China and Georgia. The EU-model minimum efficacy （~approx. 85 lm/W） broadly aligns with CN Grade 2 （≥80 lm/W）, but CN Grade 3 products （70 lm/W） may fail the EU-model minimum where Georgia has adopted it. Beyond efficacy, the EU ecodesign model additionally addresses minimum CRI ≥80, minimum lifetime ≥6,000 h, and minimum power factor ≥0.9 （≥25W） — requirements not fully mirrored in GB 30255. The critical caveat: Georgia's approximation is phased, so the precise thresholds and whether they are yet mandatory in Georgia must be confirmed against the current Georgian energy/ecodesign technical regulation before relying on them. Manufacturers achieving only CN Grade 3 should plan to upgrade performance for Georgia where the EU-model thresholds apply.[INFORMATIONAL] Georgia is progressively approximating EU light-source ecodesign/energy-efficiency requirements （EU Reg 2019/2020 model） under the DCFTA.

Energy Labelling for Light Sources (Georgia EU-approximated label programme)	China's China Energy Label （CEL） under GB 30255-2019 is mandatory for LED room luminaires. Products must be registered with CQC （China Quality Certification Centre） or CECP （China Energy Conservation Programme） before affixing the CEL. The CEL shows Grade 1–3 based on absolute lm/W thresholds. There is no mutual recognition between the EU-model energy label programme Georgia is approximating and the CN CEL scheme, and the EEI-based class differs from the lm/W-based CN grade.GB 30255-2019 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires (SAC/SAMR) China Energy Label (CEL) scheme — administered by SAMR/CQC/CECP	As part of approximating EU energy legislation under the DCFTA and its national energy programmes, Georgia is progressively introducing energy-labelling requirements for light sources referencing the EU model （Commission Delegated Regulation （EU） 2019/2015）, which mandates a rescaled A-G energy label derived from the Energy Efficiency Index （EEI）. Scope note: in the EU model the labelling obligation applies to the light source （and separate control gear）, not automatically to a whole luminaire; a luminaire with a non-replaceable integrated LED source falls in scope as a light source itself, while a replaceable source carries the obligation. In Georgia the practical implementation — including whether an EU-EPREL-equivalent national registration is required and the exact label timing — is phased and must be verified against the current Georgian energy-labelling technical regulation. Where adopted, in-scope products should carry the A-G class on packaging and online listings. Georgia's 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China, so the EEI-relevant efficacy inputs are directly comparable.EU-Georgia DCFTA — approximation of EU energy-labelling legislation Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2015 — Energy labelling of light sources (rescaled A-G label; reference model for Georgian approximation) GEOSTM / national energy programmes — Georgian energy-labelling framework	The EU-model A-G label class is calculated from the EEI （a relative metric）, while the CN CEL grade uses absolute lm/W thresholds — they are not directly comparable, and a product's CN grade does not determine its label class under the EU model. As Georgia approximates the EU energy-labelling model, in-scope products may need to carry the A-G class on packaging and online listings, and a national registration equivalent to EU EPREL may apply — but this is phased and must be confirmed against the current Georgian technical regulation. Chinese CEL registration does not substitute for any Georgian energy-label obligation. Because the 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China, the efficacy inputs feeding the EEI are directly comparable, but the label class must still be derived under the applicable Georgian/EU-model method. An in-country importer typically holds the labelling/registration responsibility.[INFORMATIONAL] Georgia is progressively approximating the EU energy-labelling model for light sources （EU Delegated Reg 2019/2015）.

EMC Emissions — CISPR 15 / EN 55015 basis (Georgia EU-approximated EMC)	China's equivalent is GB 17743-2017 （Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment）, technically aligned with CISPR 15. For luminaires sold in China, GB 17743 compliance is required as part of CCC certification （which covers safety and EMC for relevant product categories）. Testing is conducted at CNAS/CMA-accredited laboratories. Because both the Georgian basis and GB 17743 derive from CISPR 15 and share the 220/380 V 50 Hz mains, emission limits are largely harmonised — but Chinese CCC EMC test reports are not automatically accepted for Georgian conformity.GB 17743-2017 — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment (SAC/SAMR, aligned with CISPR 15)	LED luminaires placed on the Georgian market are subject to electromagnetic compatibility requirements within a framework that GEOSTM is progressively approximating to the EU EMC technical regulation （EU EMC Directive 2014/30/EU model） under the DCFTA. The recognised emissions basis is CISPR 15 / EN 55015 （Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment）, covering conducted emissions on the mains supply terminals （150 kHz–30 MHz） and radiated emissions （30 MHz–300 MHz）. Conformity is shown through national conformity assessment / supplier declaration with market surveillance. Luminaires with integrated wireless functionality （e.g. Bluetooth dimming, Wi-Fi smart lighting） additionally require radio authorisation from the GNCC （Georgian National Communications Commission）. Georgia's 220/380 V 50 Hz mains matches China, so the mains-port emission conditions are comparable.EU-Georgia DCFTA — approximation of the EU EMC technical regulation (Directive 2014/30/EU model) CISPR 15 / EN 55015 — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment (GEOSTM-adopted basis) GNCC — Georgian National Communications Commission (radio authorisation for wireless-enabled luminaires)	Both the Georgian basis （CISPR 15 / EN 55015） and CN GB 17743 derive from CISPR 15 and share the 220/380 V 50 Hz mains, so emission limits are largely harmonised and re-testing burden is reduced. Key gaps are procedural: （1） Chinese CCC EMC evidence is not automatically accepted — confirm whether GEOSTM/Georgian conformity recognises the CNAS report or requires re-testing/mapping at an ILAC MRA laboratory; （2） an in-country importer typically holds placing-on-market responsibility; （3） if the luminaire incorporates wireless functionality, GNCC radio authorisation applies in addition to the EMC basis; （4） because Georgia is still approximating the EU EMC framework, confirm the current conformity route （supplier declaration vs third-party） and the exact adopted standard version.[INFORMATIONAL] EMC emissions for LED luminaires in Georgia are governed by a GEOSTM-administered framework approximating the EU EMC Directive, with CISPR 15 / EN 55015 as the recognised basis.

EMC Immunity — IEC/EN 61547 basis (Lighting Equipment Immunity)	China's equivalent is GB/T 18595-2014 （General requirements for the electromagnetic immunity of lighting equipment）, technically equivalent to IEC 61547:2009. GB/T 18595 is a recommended standard （T = tuijian, recommended） and is less strictly enforced than the CN emissions standard GB 17743. CCC certification for CN luminaires generally focuses more on safety and emissions than immunity. Because both the Georgian basis and GB/T 18595 derive from IEC 61547 and share the 220/380 V 50 Hz supply, products tested in China generally meet the same immunity levels.GB/T 18595-2014 — General requirements for the electromagnetic immunity of lighting equipment (SAC/SAMR — recommended standard, aligned with IEC 61547:2009)	Within Georgia's EU-approximated EMC framework, LED luminaires are expected to provide adequate immunity in their intended electromagnetic environment. The recognised technical basis is IEC 61547 / EN 61547 （Equipment for general lighting purposes — EMC immunity requirements）. Tests typically include electrostatic discharge （ESD, IEC 61000-4-2）, electrical fast transient/burst （IEC 61000-4-4）, surge （IEC 61000-4-5）, conducted RF disturbances （IEC 61000-4-6）, power frequency magnetic field （IEC 61000-4-8）, and voltage dips/interruptions （IEC 61000-4-11）.

The practical gap is largely a documentation/enforcement gap: CN GB/T 18595 is a recommended standard and CCC documentation may not include equivalent immunity test reports, whereas Georgia's EU-approximated EMC framework expects immunity to be addressed. Manufacturers should include IEC/EN 61547 immunity test reports from an ILAC MRA-recognised laboratory in the technical file and confirm whether GEOSTM/Georgian conformity accepts an existing report or requires re-testing.

Photobiological Safety — Blue Light Hazard (IEC/EN 62471 Risk Groups, Georgia)	China has adopted GB/T 20145-2006 （Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems）, technically equivalent to IEC 62471:2006. GB/T 20145 is a recommended standard （T = tuijian, recommended） and is not universally mandatory for all LED luminaires in the Chinese market; enforcement and testing obligations are less prescriptive for residential luminaires. Because the photobiological assessment is independent of the supply grid, the shared 220/380 V 50 Hz mains of China and Georgia has no effect on the risk-group outcome.GB/T 20145-2006 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems (SAC/SAMR — recommended standard)	As Georgia approximates the EU light-source framework under the DCFTA, photobiological risk classification is expected to be addressed for regulated LED light sources and relevant luminaires. The recognised technical method is IEC 62471 / EN 62471 （Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems） for deriving the risk group; IEC 62471-7:2023 adds LED/light-source-specific guidance. Risk groups range from RG0 （Exempt — no hazard） to RG3 （High risk）, defined by blue-light-weighted radiance and irradiance limits. RG2 and RG3 products carry usage restrictions and should be declared in the technical file. In Georgia, whether and where this classification is mandatory follows the applicable Georgian technical regulation as the EU ecodesign/energy framework is progressively adopted — verify the current status. The classification is independent of supply voltage, so Georgia's 220/380 V 50 Hz match with China does not change the photobiological assessment.IEC 62471 / EN 62471 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems (recognised method for risk group classification) IEC 62471-7:2023 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems — Part 7: Light sources and luminaires primarily emitting visible radiation EU-Georgia DCFTA — approximation of the EU light-source ecodesign framework (photobiological safety context)	Both Georgia （IEC/EN 62471 basis） and China （GB/T 20145, also IEC 62471-derived） use the same technical method, so a risk-group assessment performed in China is largely portable.

Manufacturers should document a defensible risk-group assessment （commonly testing to IEC/EN 62471 and considering IEC 62471-7:2023）, include warnings and usage instructions for RG2, and note that RG3 faces significant market restrictions.

Blue Light Hazard Class on Product Label (Georgia EU-approximated label model)	China's Energy Label （China Energy Label, CEL） mandatory under GB 30255 （LED room luminaires energy efficiency） does not include a blue light hazard class. The Chinese labelling regime focuses on energy efficiency grades （Grade 1–3） and lumen output. There is no CN regulatory requirement to display photobiological risk-group information on luminaire packaging equivalent to the EU label model Georgia is approximating.GB 30255-2019 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires (SAC/SAMR — no blue light class requirement)	The EU energy-labelling model （Commission Delegated Regulation （EU） 2019/2015, Annex VI） requires blue-light-hazard class information on labels for in-scope light sources, derived from the photobiological risk assessment （commonly EN 62471 risk groups） and expressed in plain language: RG0 = 'No risk', RG1 = 'Low risk', RG2 = 'Moderate risk'. As Georgia approximates the EU energy-labelling model under the DCFTA, this label element may apply to in-scope products placed on the Georgian market — but the timing and whether it is yet mandatory in Georgia must be verified against the current Georgian energy-labelling technical regulation.

As Georgia approximates the EU energy-labelling model, exporters may need to add the blue-light class to product labels and online listings for in-scope Georgian-market products.

Chemicals in Articles / SVHC-style Notification vs CN Chemical Regulations (Georgia)	China does not have a direct equivalent to the REACH SVHC Article 33 supply-chain notification obligation. The closest CN instruments are MEE Order No. 12 （2020） on new chemical substance environmental management registration, and GB 30981-2020 / general chemical classification-and-labelling rules for hazardous chemicals. None of these create an obligation to proactively notify B2B customers when an SVHC is present in an article above 0.1% w/w. So both China and Georgia currently lack a binding REACH-Article-33-style article-notification duty.MEE Order No. 12 (2020) — Measures for the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances (China) GB 30981-2020 — Rules for the classification and labelling of chemicals (China)	The EU reference model here is REACH （Regulation （EC） 1907/2006） Article 33, under which a supplier of an article containing a Substance of Very High Concern （SVHC） from the ECHA Candidate List above 0.1% w/w must inform business customers and, on request, consumers. Honest status: Georgia does NOT currently operate a full REACH-equivalent SVHC supply-chain notification regime; this is part of the EU chemicals legislation that Georgia is only gradually approaching under the DCFTA, and a binding Georgian equivalent obligation is not yet in force as of mid-2026. Manufacturers exporting to Georgia should nonetheless be aware that EU REACH applies if the same articles are also placed on the EU market, and should track the ECHA Candidate List as good practice and as the likely direction of Georgian approximation. Verify the current Georgian chemicals/technical regulation for any in-force notification or restriction obligation.Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) Article 33 — EU reference model for SVHC supply-chain notification (not yet a binding Georgian obligation) EU-Georgia DCFTA — gradual approximation of EU chemicals legislation ECHA Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern — updated biannually (240+ substances as of 2026)	Practically, neither China nor Georgia currently imposes a binding REACH-Article-33-style proactive SVHC article-notification duty, so for the Georgian market alone this is not an in-force gap today. The forward-looking points: （1） if the same LED luminaires are also placed on the EU market, REACH Article 33 （and potential ECHA SCIP database notification for articles with SVHC >0.1% w/w） applies in full; （2） Georgia is gradually approximating EU chemicals legislation under the DCFTA, so a REACH-style obligation may be introduced — monitor the Georgian chemicals/technical regulation; （3） as good practice and to be EU-ready, establish a supply-chain screening process against the biannually-updated ECHA Candidate List. Confirm the current Georgian status before assuming any in-force notification duty.[INFORMATIONAL] A REACH-Article-33-style SVHC supply-chain notification duty is the EU reference model, but neither Georgia nor China currently imposes a binding equivalent — for the Georgian market alone this is not an in-force obligation today. If the same LED luminaires are also placed on the EU market, EU REACH Article 33 （and possible SCIP notification） applies in full. Georgia is gradually approximating EU chemicals legislation under the DCFTA, so monitor for future obligations and screen against the ECHA Candidate List as EU-ready good practice. Verify the current Georgian chemicals/technical regulation before assuming any in-force duty.	GEOSTM — Georgian National Agency for Standards and Metrology2026-06-15 · reference
Overall Conformity Process and Importer/Marking Obligations vs CCC / CQC (Georgia)	In China, the primary mandatory certification for luminaires sold in the residential market is CCC （China Compulsory Certification）, administered by CNCA and requiring third-party certification by a CNCA-authorised body （e.g. CQC — China Quality Certification Centre）. CQC voluntary certification is available for products outside mandatory CCC. For wireless-enabled luminaires （smart LED with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth）, SRRC type approval is additionally required in China （the functional counterpart to GNCC authorisation in Georgia）. CCC certification bodies are not recognised for Georgian conformity purposes.CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires (CNCA/CQC) SRRC type approval — required for wireless-enabled luminaires in China (functional counterpart to GNCC authorisation)	Placing LED luminaires on the Georgian market is administered by GEOSTM within a framework progressively approximating the EU New Approach / CE-style model under the DCFTA. The typical process: （1） compile a technical file （design, component specs, test reports for electrical safety, EMC, and, where adopted, energy/ecodesign and photobiological safety）; （2） prepare a conformity declaration referencing the applicable Georgian technical regulations / GEOSTM-adopted standards （IEC 60598-1, CISPR 15/EN 55015, IEC 61547, etc.）; （3） apply the conformity marking required by the applicable Georgian regulation on the product; （4） ensure an in-country importer is identified and bears placing-on-market and market-surveillance responsibility; （5） meet Georgian labelling/language requirements. For standard luminaires a supplier-declaration route is generally available where harmonised/adopted standards are applied, but the exact conformity route is being aligned to EU practice and must be confirmed. Wireless-enabled luminaires additionally require GNCC radio authorisation. Georgia's 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China, simplifying the electrical basis.EU-Georgia DCFTA — approximation of the EU New Approach / CE-style conformity model GEOSTM — Georgian National Agency for Standards and Metrology (technical regulations, adopted standards, conformity marking, market surveillance) GNCC — Georgian National Communications Commission (radio authorisation for wireless-enabled luminaires)	Georgia's EU-approximated framework （typically supplier-declaration for standard luminaires applying adopted standards） vs China's mandatory third-party CCC are parallel, non-mutual systems — a product needs separate technical files, test reports, and conformity steps for each market. Georgia-specific points with no direct CN equivalent: （1） an in-country importer is typically required to bear placing-on-market and market-surveillance responsibility, and must usually be identified on documentation/labelling; （2） conformity declaration and labelling must reference the applicable Georgian technical regulations and meet Georgian language requirements; （3） the conformity marking is the one prescribed by the applicable Georgian regulation （confirm the current mark/route as approximation proceeds）. Mapping: CN SRRC ↔ GE GNCC for wireless. The shared 220/380 V 50 Hz grid means the electrical basis transfers, reducing redesign — but CN CCC/CQC evidence is not automatically accepted, and any phased EU-model obligations （ecodesign, energy label, RoHS） add to scope as Georgia adopts them.[INFORMATIONAL] Placing LED luminaires on the Georgian market follows a GEOSTM-administered framework approximating the EU CE-style model, generally via supplier declaration for standard luminaires applying adopted standards （IEC 60598-1, CISPR 15/EN 55015, IEC 61547）, with an in-country importer bearing placing-on-market responsibility. CCC and Georgian conformity are parallel, non-mutual processes; CN SRRC maps functionally to GNCC for wireless products. The shared 220/380 V 50 Hz grid lets the electrical basis transfer, but CN CCC/CQC evidence is not automatically accepted, and phased EU-model obligations （ecodesign, energy label, RoHS） add to scope as Georgia adopts them. Confirm the current conformity route and marking.	GEOSTM — Georgian National Agency for Standards and Metrology2026-06-15 · reference
Electrical Safety — General Luminaire (Georgia EU-approximated, IEC/EN 60598-1)	China's current general luminaire safety standard is GB/T 7000.1-2023 （Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests）, replacing GB 7000.1-2015 from 1 January 2026. The edition change also changes the standard designation from mandatory GB to recommended GB/T; CCC obligations for in-scope luminaires remain governed by the applicable CNCA rules rather than by the GB/T designation alone. CCC testing is conducted by CNCA-authorised laboratories. China and Georgia share the same 220/380 V 50 Hz nominal grid, and both standards derive from IEC 60598-1, so the technical safety content is closely related — but the conformity assessment process, documentation, and Georgian placing-on-market obligations are separate from CCC.GB/T 7000.1-2023 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests (replaces GB 7000.1-2015 from 1 January 2026; recommended GB/T designation) CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires	LED luminaires placed on the Georgian market are subject to electrical-safety requirements administered by GEOSTM （Georgian National Agency for Standards and Metrology） within a framework that is progressively approximating EU low-voltage（LVD-style）technical regulation under the EU-Georgia DCFTA. The recognised technical basis is IEC 60598-1 （Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests）, which GEOSTM adopts as a Georgian/EN-aligned standard. Core requirements cover protection against electric shock （touch current, insulation resistance, creepage and clearance distances）, thermal protection, mechanical strength, and wiring terminals. Conformity is demonstrated through national conformity assessment / supplier declaration with national market surveillance; an in-country importer typically bears the placing-on-the-market responsibility. Because Georgia operates a 220/380 V 50 Hz grid identical to China, no supply-voltage or frequency redesign is required for the electrical-safety basis. Verify the exact Georgian technical regulation and adopted standard edition in force for luminaires before shipment.EU-Georgia DCFTA / Association Agreement — progressive approximation of EU technical regulations (low-voltage/safety framework) IEC 60598-1 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests (GEOSTM-adopted, EN-aligned basis; equivalent to EU EN 60598-1:2021) GEOSTM — Georgian National Agency for Standards and Metrology (national conformity assessment and market surveillance)	Both Georgia （IEC 60598-1 basis） and China （GB/T 7000.1, also IEC 60598-1 derived） share the same technical safety root and the same 220/380 V 50 Hz grid, so the core electrical-safety design transfers well. The practical gap is procedural, not voltage-related: （1） Chinese CCC evidence is not automatically accepted for Georgian placing-on-the-market — conformity must be established under the applicable Georgian technical regulation / GEOSTM-adopted standard; （2） an in-country importer typically holds the conformity and market-surveillance responsibility in Georgia; （3） documentation/labelling must meet Georgian requirements （language and importer identification）; （4） because Georgia is still approximating the EU framework, the precise conformity route （supplier declaration vs third-party） can differ by product and over time — confirm the current rule. Re-testing or report mapping to the IEC/EN 60598-1 edition recognised by GEOSTM at an ILAC MRA-recognised laboratory is advisable.[INFORMATIONAL] LED luminaire electrical safety for the Georgian market is administered by GEOSTM within an EU-approximated （LVD-style） framework under the DCFTA, with IEC 60598-1 as the recognised technical basis. Georgia's 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China, so the core safety design transfers, but Chinese CCC / GB 7000.1 evidence does not automatically satisfy Georgian placing-on-market conformity. Verify the applicable Georgian technical regulation and the GEOSTM-adopted standard edition, and note that an in-country importer typically bears conformity responsibility.

LED Driver / Control Gear Safety (IEC/EN 61347-2-13, GEOSTM-adopted)	China's equivalent is GB 19510.14-2014 （Control gear for lamps — Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules）, technically aligned with IEC 61347-2-13. CCC certification may be required for LED drivers in certain power ranges sold in the Chinese market. Because China and Georgia share the same 220/380 V 50 Hz grid and both derive from IEC 61347-2-13, the technical content is closely related — but Chinese CCC test reports under GB 19510.14 are not automatically accepted for Georgian conformity.GB 19510.14-2014 — Control gear for lamps — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules (SAC/SAMR)	LED drivers （control gear for LED modules） intended for the Georgian market are subject to the same EU-approximated electrical-safety framework administered by GEOSTM. The recognised technical basis is IEC 61347-2-13 （Lamp controlgear — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules）, equivalent to EU EN 61347-2-13:2014+A1:2017. It specifies isolation class, dielectric strength, thermal endurance, and safety marking. If the driver is sold as a separate product （not integrated into the luminaire）, it requires its own conformity demonstration and marking under the applicable Georgian technical regulation in addition to luminaire-level compliance. Georgia's 220/380 V 50 Hz mains matches China, so the driver's input-side design carries over.IEC 61347-2-13 — Lamp controlgear — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules (GEOSTM-adopted; equivalent to EU EN 61347-2-13:2014+A1:2017) EU-Georgia DCFTA — progressive approximation of EU low-voltage/safety technical regulation GEOSTM — Georgian National Agency for Standards and Metrology	IEC 61347-2-13 （Georgia/EN basis） and GB 19510.14 （China） share the same IEC root and the same 220/380 V 50 Hz input conditions, so the driver design largely transfers. Key gaps are procedural: （1） if the LED driver is sold standalone, a separate conformity demonstration and marking is required under the applicable Georgian technical regulation; （2） Chinese CCC/GB 19510.14 evidence is not automatically accepted — confirm whether GEOSTM recognises the test report or requires re-testing/mapping to the adopted IEC/EN edition at an ILAC MRA laboratory; （3） an in-country importer typically holds placing-on-market responsibility; （4） because the framework is still approximating the EU, confirm the current conformity route. When the driver is integrated and not sold separately, its safety evidence forms part of the luminaire technical file alongside the IEC/EN 60598-1 evidence.[INFORMATIONAL] Standalone LED drivers placed on the Georgian market require conformity under the GEOSTM-administered, EU-approximated framework, with IEC/EN 61347-2-13 as the recognised technical basis. Because Georgia's 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China and both standards derive from IEC 61347-2-13, the design transfers, but Chinese GB 19510.14 / CCC evidence does not automatically satisfy Georgian conformity. When the driver is integrated into a luminaire, its safety evidence forms part of the luminaire technical file alongside the IEC/EN 60598-1 evidence.
