Compliance Gap Matrix
| Compliance item | Common China baseline | Mauritius (MSB) | Gap / action | Source + verification date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Efficiency Performance of LED Lamps (MSB-adopted MS/IEC performance basis) | China's baseline is GB 30255 （energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires / light sources）, which defines absolute lm/W energy-efficiency grades （Grade 1 highest, down to a Grade 3 market-entry minimum）. The China Energy Label （CEL） registration is mandatory for GB 30255-covered products and is administered by SAMR. GB 7000 series covers luminaire safety. These provide a documented performance baseline for the China market that exporters can reuse as evidence, but China grades are calculated on absolute lm/W thresholds and are not automatically recognised by MSB.GB 30255 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires / light sources （SAC/SAMR） China Energy Label （CEL） scheme — administered by SAMR GB 7000 series — Luminaire safety （SAC/SAMR） |
Mauritius does not operate an EU-style binding Ecodesign minimum-performance regime for LED light sources. Instead, the Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） sets Mauritius Standards （MS）, generally adopting IEC performance and method standards （for example the IEC 62612 family for self-ballasted LED lamps and related photometric/performance methods）. Where MSB references such standards in conformity or import-inspection arrangements for regulated lighting products, performance characteristics — luminous efficacy （lm/W）, colour rendering, lumen maintenance/lifetime — are assessed against the adopted MS/IEC method rather than against a single legislated lm/W floor. Exporters should confirm with MSB and the in-country importer which lamp categories are regulated, which MS/IEC editions are referenced, and whether any minimum efficacy thresholds apply at the point of import. Design for the local 230 V / 50 Hz supply.Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） — adopted Mauritius Standards （MS） for lighting performance, generally aligned with IEC （e.g. IEC 62612 family for self-ballasted LED lamps） MSB conformity / import-inspection arrangements for regulated products （scope to be confirmed with MSB） |
Unlike the EU, Mauritius has no single legislated minimum-efficacy floor that automatically blocks lower-grade LED products. The practical gap is one of reference framework and acceptance: China's GB 30255 CEL grade （absolute lm/W） is not recognised by MSB, which works from adopted MS/IEC performance methods. Exporters should （1） confirm with MSB / the in-country importer whether the specific lamp category is regulated and which MS/IEC editions apply; （2） be ready to provide IEC-method performance test reports （efficacy, CRI, lumen maintenance/lifetime） rather than relying solely on the China CEL grade; （3） note that a product meeting only China Grade 3 may still be acceptable in Mauritius if no minimum threshold is imposed, but this must be confirmed — it is not an EU-style hard gate. Always verify current MSB scope before shipment.[INFORMATIONAL] Mauritius does not impose an EU-style legislated minimum efficacy for LED lamps. Performance is assessed against MSB-adopted MS/IEC methods where the product is within MSB conformity / import-inspection scope. China's GB 30255 CEL grade is not automatically recognised — provide IEC-method performance test reports and confirm with MSB and the in-country importer which categories are regulated and whether any thresholds apply.

| Energy Efficiency Labelling for Lamps in Mauritius | China's China Energy Label （CEL） under GB 30255 is mandatory for covered LED room luminaires / light sources, with registration via CQC/CECP before affixing the label. The CEL shows an absolute lm/W-based grade. There is no mutual recognition between the China CEL scheme and any Mauritius energy-labelling requirement, and a China CEL registration does not substitute for a Mauritius label where one is required.GB 30255 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires / light sources （SAC/SAMR） China Energy Label （CEL） scheme — administered by SAMR/CQC/CECP |
Mauritius operates energy-efficiency programmes and has progressively introduced energy labelling for selected appliances and lighting under national energy-efficiency measures, with the Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） and the relevant energy authority involved in standards and conformity. There is no single EU-EPREL-style database with a rescaled A-G label that automatically applies to all light sources; instead, where a lamp category is brought into a Mauritius energy-labelling scheme, the label format, energy-class basis, and registration/declaration steps are defined by the applicable MS standard and national measure. Exporters should confirm with MSB / the energy authority and the in-country importer whether the specific lamp falls within a current Mauritius energy-labelling requirement, what label artwork and language （English/French） are required, and what supporting efficacy test evidence （IEC-method） must accompany the declaration.Mauritius national energy-efficiency measures and labelling programme for selected appliances/lighting （scope to be confirmed with MSB / the energy authority） Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） — adopted MS standards underpinning energy-efficiency labelling |
Mauritius energy labelling for lamps is programme-and-category specific rather than a single EU-EPREL-style universal database, so the first task is to confirm scope: is the specific lamp category currently subject to a Mauritius energy label? Where it is, the gap from China practice is （1） a separate Mauritius label format and language （English/French） not satisfied by the China CEL artwork; （2） a Mauritius declaration/registration step distinct from the China CQC/CECP registration with no mutual recognition; （3） efficacy evidence presented on the IEC method basis rather than the China grade. Where the category is not yet in scope, no Mauritius energy label applies — but this must be verified with MSB / the energy authority and the in-country importer, not assumed. Unlike the EU, no blue-light-hazard class is required on a Mauritius energy label.[INFORMATIONAL] Mauritius applies energy labelling to selected appliances/lighting through national measures rather than a single EU-EPREL-style universal database. Confirm with MSB / the energy authority and the in-country importer whether the specific lamp is in scope; where it is, prepare a Mauritius-format label （English/French） supported by IEC-method efficacy evidence. The China CEL registration is not recognised and does not substitute. No blue-light-hazard class is required on the Mauritius label. | Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB）2026-06-15 · reference |
| EMC Emissions for Lighting Equipment （CISPR 15 basis via MSB-adopted MS/IEC） | China's equivalent is GB 17743 （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 for relevant product categories, with testing at CNAS/CMA-accredited laboratories. Because GB 17743 and Mauritius MS/IEC emission requirements share the same CISPR 15 base, a China emission test report from an ILAC-recognised lab is technically close to what Mauritius expects — but acceptance depends on MSB conformity arrangements, and the China CCC mark itself is not recognised in Mauritius.GB 17743 — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment （SAC/SAMR, aligned with CISPR 15） | LED luminaires supplied to Mauritius should meet radio-disturbance （emission） limits aligned with CISPR 15 — the international base standard for lighting-equipment radio disturbance characteristics covering conducted emissions on mains terminals （150 kHz–30 MHz） and radiated emissions. The Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） adopts Mauritius Standards （MS） that are generally aligned with IEC/CISPR, so where a lighting product is within MSB conformity or import-inspection scope, emission evidence is expected on the CISPR 15 basis. For luminaires with wireless functionality （Bluetooth dimming, Wi-Fi smart lighting）, radio-equipment requirements administered by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority （ICTA） also apply — see ledmu-emc-02. Test at an ILAC MRA-recognised laboratory; design for the local 230 V / 50 Hz supply （50 Hz matches China）.CISPR 15 — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment （international base standard） Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） — adopted MS standards aligned with IEC/CISPR for lighting EMC （scope to be confirmed with MSB） |
Emission limits are largely harmonised because both GB 17743 and the Mauritius MS/IEC reference derive from CISPR 15, so the technical re-testing burden is generally low. The practical gaps are： （1） acceptance — the China CCC mark is not recognised in Mauritius; confirm with MSB / the in-country importer whether an ILAC-recognised CISPR 15 / GB 17743 emission report is accepted in the Mauritius conformity or import-inspection process for the product category; （2） edition — provide the specific CISPR 15 / MS edition referenced; （3） wireless products — a smart luminaire additionally requires ICTA radio-equipment type approval （see ledmu-emc-02）, which has no GB 17743 equivalent; （4） supply conditions — confirm emission performance at 230 V / 50 Hz rather than China 220 V.[INFORMATIONAL] LED luminaire EMC emissions for Mauritius are assessed on the CISPR 15 basis via MSB-adopted MS/IEC standards, largely harmonised with China GB 17743 （both CISPR 15-derived）. The technical re-testing burden is low, but the China CCC mark is not recognised — confirm with MSB / the in-country importer whether an ILAC-recognised CISPR 15 emission report is accepted for the product category. Smart luminaires additionally need ICTA radio approval. Verify at 230 V / 50 Hz. | Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB）2026-06-15 · reference |
| ICTA Radio-Equipment Type Approval for Smart / Wireless Luminaires | In China, a wireless-enabled luminaire requires SRRC （State Radio Regulation Commission） type approval for the radio module, in addition to CCC for safety/EMC where applicable. SRRC type approval is China-specific and is not recognised by ICTA in Mauritius. The Chinese radio test reports may share an underlying technical basis with international ETSI/IEC test methods, but the Mauritius authorisation is a separate national process.SRRC type approval — required for wireless-enabled equipment in China （State Radio Regulation Commission） | LED luminaires with integrated wireless functionality （Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or other radio-frequency control） fall within the remit of the Information and Communication Technologies Authority （ICTA） of Mauritius, which regulates radio-frequency equipment and type approval / authorisation for placing radio equipment on the Mauritius market and using the radio spectrum. Smart luminaires typically require ICTA type approval / equipment authorisation before import and sale, with supporting radio test evidence （commonly on ETSI/IEC bases for the relevant frequency bands） and adherence to the radio-frequency conditions permitted in Mauritius. This is separate from, and additional to, the lighting EMC emission requirement in ledmu-emc-01. Confirm the exact ICTA submission package, frequency-band permissions, and labelling with ICTA and the in-country importer.Information and Communication Technologies Authority （ICTA）, Mauritius — radio-frequency equipment type approval / authorisation （scope and submission requirements to be confirmed with ICTA） ICT Act （Mauritius） — framework for radio-equipment and spectrum regulation |
China SRRC type approval does not transfer to Mauritius — a smart luminaire must obtain ICTA type approval / equipment authorisation independently before import and sale. Key gaps： （1） frequency-band permissions — confirm that the device's radio bands and power are permitted under Mauritius spectrum rules （these can differ from China allocations）; （2） test evidence — ICTA generally references international （ETSI/IEC） radio test bases, so a China SRRC report alone may be insufficient and ETSI/IEC-method reports may be needed; （3） process — ICTA authorisation is separate from MSB lighting conformity and from the CISPR 15 lighting-EMC route in ledmu-emc-01; both must be satisfied for a smart luminaire; （4） labelling — confirm any ICTA marking/declaration requirements with ICTA and the in-country importer.[INFORMATIONAL] Smart / wireless LED luminaires for Mauritius require ICTA radio-equipment type approval / authorisation before import and sale — separate from and additional to the CISPR 15 lighting-EMC route. China SRRC type approval is not recognised by ICTA; confirm permitted frequency bands, the ETSI/IEC test evidence ICTA accepts, and any marking requirements with ICTA and the in-country importer. | Information and Communication Technologies Authority （ICTA）, Mauritius2026-06-15 · reference |
| Photobiological Safety — Blue Light Hazard （IEC 62471 Risk Groups via MSB-adopted MS/IEC） | 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） and is not universally mandatory for all LED luminaires in the China market; enforcement for residential luminaires is limited. A China GB/T 20145 test report shares the same IEC 62471 technical base, so it can serve as supporting evidence, but it is the IEC 62471 classification itself （not the China standard designation） that MSB would reference.GB/T 20145-2006 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems （SAC/SAMR — recommended standard, equivalent to IEC 62471:2006） | Photobiological safety of LED lamps and luminaires in Mauritius is assessed against IEC 62471 （Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems）, the international method for classifying products into risk groups from RG0 （Exempt — no hazard） to RG3 （High risk） based on blue-light-weighted radiance/irradiance. The Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） adopts MS standards generally aligned with IEC, so where a lighting product is within MSB conformity or import-inspection scope, an IEC 62471 risk-group assessment and supporting test evidence are the expected basis. Unlike the EU, Mauritius does not impose an EU-Ecodesign-style standalone legal obligation to declare the risk group, nor an EU-energy-label blue-light-class requirement; the IEC 62471 classification functions as good-practice safety documentation that MSB may reference. Confirm with MSB and the in-country importer whether IEC 62471 evidence is required for the specific product category.IEC 62471 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems （international risk-group classification） Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） — adopted MS standards aligned with IEC for photobiological safety （scope to be confirmed with MSB） |
The technical method is shared （both China GB/T 20145 and Mauritius MS reference IEC 62471）, so re-testing burden is low. The differences are regulatory weight and acceptance, not substance： （1） Mauritius does not impose an EU-Ecodesign-style standalone legal duty to declare the risk group, so there is no hard EU-equivalent gate — but MSB may still expect an IEC 62471 classification within conformity or import inspection for the product category; （2） the China GB/T 20145 designation is recommended-only and the report should be presented on the IEC 62471 basis for Mauritius; （3） RG2/RG3 products should still carry appropriate warnings as good practice. Confirm with MSB / the in-country importer whether IEC 62471 evidence is required for the category, and present the classification on the IEC method basis.[INFORMATIONAL] Photobiological safety in Mauritius is assessed against IEC 62471 via MSB-adopted MS/IEC standards, sharing the technical base of China GB/T 20145. Mauritius does not impose an EU-Ecodesign-style standalone legal declaration duty, but MSB may expect an IEC 62471 risk-group classification within conformity / import inspection for the category. Present evidence on the IEC 62471 basis and confirm scope with MSB and the in-country importer; RG2/RG3 products should carry appropriate warnings. | Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB）2026-06-15 · reference |
| No Mandatory Blue-Light-Class Label on Mauritius Energy Label | China's China Energy Label （CEL） under GB 30255 likewise does not include a blue-light-hazard class — the China label focuses on energy-efficiency grade and lumen output. In this respect Mauritius and China align： neither mandates a consumer-facing blue-light class on the product label, unlike the EU. Photobiological safety in China is addressed through the recommended standard GB/T 20145 rather than a label element.GB 30255 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires （SAC/SAMR — no blue-light-class requirement） GB/T 20145-2006 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems （recommended standard） |
Mauritius does not impose the EU's mandatory blue-light-hazard class on a product energy label. Whereas EU Delegated Regulation （EU） 2019/2015 requires a plain-language blue-light class （RG0 No risk / RG1 Low risk / RG2 Moderate risk） on the energy label of in-scope light sources, no equivalent labelling rule applies in Mauritius. Where a Mauritius energy-labelling measure applies to a lamp category （see ledmu-ecodesign-02）, the label communicates energy-efficiency information, not a blue-light-hazard class. Photobiological safety in Mauritius is handled as IEC 62471 technical documentation （see ledmu-photobio-01）, not as a mandatory consumer-facing label element. Exporters should still document the IEC 62471 risk group and include appropriate user warnings for RG2/RG3 products as good practice, but adding the EU-style blue-light class to a Mauritius label is not a Mauritius requirement.Mauritius — no mandatory blue-light-hazard class labelling rule on energy labels （contrast EU Delegated Regulation （EU） 2019/2015 Annex VI） IEC 62471 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems （technical-file basis, not a mandatory label element in Mauritius） |
There is effectively no gap to close here relative to China practice： neither Mauritius nor China requires an EU-style blue-light-hazard class on the product label, so a China-spec luminaire does not need an added label element for Mauritius on this point （unlike for EU export, where the class must be added under Delegated Reg 2019/2015 Annex VI）. The only residual action is good practice rather than a Mauritius mandate： document the IEC 62471 risk group in the technical file （see ledmu-photobio-01）, and include appropriate warnings/instructions for RG2/RG3 products. Confirm with MSB / the in-country importer that no specific lighting label element beyond energy-efficiency information is required for the category.[INFORMATIONAL] Mauritius, like China, does not require an EU-style blue-light-hazard class on the product/energy label — so no added label element is needed for Mauritius on this point （unlike EU export under Delegated Reg 2019/2015 Annex VI）. Document the IEC 62471 risk group in the technical file as good practice and add warnings for RG2/RG3 products. Confirm the labelling scope for the category with MSB and the in-country importer. | Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB）2026-06-15 · reference |
| Hazardous-Substance Restriction — No EU-Style Horizontal RoHS in Mauritius | China operates GB/T 26572 （concentration limits for certain restricted substances in EEE）, covering the original six RoHS substances （Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr（VI）, PBB, PBDE） with the same concentration thresholds as EU RoHS, and China RoHS 2 （SJ/T 11364） which requires a hazardous-substance disclosure label （orange/green） on EEE sold in China. The four EU phthalates （DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP） are not in the China mandatory restricted list. China's regime is therefore a disclosure-and-limit regime for the China market — it produces useful material-declaration evidence that exporters can reuse, even though Mauritius has no equivalent horizontal restriction.GB/T 26572 — Requirements for concentration limits for certain restricted substances in EEE （SAC/SAMR — covers original 6 substances） SJ/T 11364 — Marking for the restricted use of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products （China RoHS 2 disclosure label） |
Mauritius does not operate an EU-style horizontal RoHS regime that restricts a fixed list of hazardous substances （Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr（VI）, PBB, PBDE, and the four phthalates） in homogeneous materials across all electrical and electronic equipment as a market-access condition. There is no general Mauritius RoHS substance-restriction law equivalent to EU Directive 2011/65/EU, and therefore no mandatory RoHS Declaration of Conformity tied to a national restricted-substance list. Substance-related controls in Mauritius are addressed through general environmental, chemical, and waste legislation and through any specific MSB-adopted product standards, rather than through a horizontal EEE substance-restriction directive. Exporters should confirm with the relevant Mauritius authority and the in-country importer whether any product-specific or chemical/environmental control affects LED luminaire materials, but should not assume an EU-RoHS-equivalent mandatory regime exists.Mauritius — no horizontal EEE hazardous-substance restriction equivalent to EU Directive 2011/65/EU （RoHS） as of the access date; substance controls handled via general environmental/chemical/waste legislation and product-specific MSB standards Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） / relevant Mauritius authority — confirm any product-specific or chemical controls （scope to be confirmed） |
Plainly stated： there is no EU-RoHS-style mandatory substance-restriction gap to close for Mauritius, because Mauritius has no horizontal EEE substance-restriction regime. A Chinese manufacturer does not need to test for the four EU phthalates （DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP） to enter Mauritius purely on a RoHS basis, and no Mauritius RoHS Declaration of Conformity exists to be prepared. The China RoHS disclosure label and GB/T 26572 material declarations remain relevant for the China market and serve as useful supporting documentation. Residual actions： （1） confirm with the relevant Mauritius authority and the in-country importer whether any general chemical/environmental/waste legislation or product-specific control touches LED luminaire materials; （2） do not assume an EU-equivalent regime; （3） if the same product is also destined for the EU, the EU RoHS obligations （including the four phthalates） apply there separately — but that is an EU requirement, not a Mauritius one.[INFORMATIONAL] Mauritius has no EU-style horizontal RoHS substance-restriction regime, so there is no mandatory RoHS test, restricted-substance list, or RoHS Declaration of Conformity required for market access — and no need to test the four EU phthalates for Mauritius on a RoHS basis. China RoHS disclosure documentation remains useful supporting evidence. Confirm with the relevant Mauritius authority and the in-country importer whether any general chemical/environmental or product-specific control applies; do not assume an EU-equivalent regime. | Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB）2026-06-15 · reference |
| No REACH-SVHC-Style Supply-Chain Notification in Mauritius | China does not have a direct equivalent to REACH Article 33 supply-chain SVHC notification either. The closest China instruments are MEE Order No. 12 （Measures for the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances） and GB 30981 （classification and labelling of chemicals）, neither of which creates an article-level duty to proactively notify B2B customers of an SVHC above 0.1% w/w. So on this point China and Mauritius are aligned： neither imposes a REACH-style article-level SVHC communication obligation.MEE Order No. 12 — Measures for the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances （China） GB 30981 — Rules for the classification and labelling of chemicals （China） |
Mauritius does not operate a REACH-style Substances of Very High Concern （SVHC） supply-chain notification regime. There is no Mauritius equivalent of REACH Regulation （EC） 1907/2006 Article 33 （the duty to proactively communicate, within 45 days, when an article contains an ECHA Candidate List SVHC above 0.1% w/w）, no Mauritius Candidate List updated biannually, and no SCIP-style database registration for articles placed on the Mauritius market. Chemicals in Mauritius are governed by general environmental and chemical-management legislation rather than an article-level SVHC communication duty. Exporters therefore do not face an ongoing ECHA-Candidate-List screening obligation for Mauritius market access, though they should confirm with the relevant Mauritius authority whether any general chemical-control or hazardous-substance legislation applies to specific materials.Mauritius — no REACH Article 33 / SVHC supply-chain notification or SCIP-style database equivalent as of the access date; chemicals governed by general environmental/chemical-management legislation Relevant Mauritius authority — confirm any general chemical-control legislation affecting materials （scope to be confirmed） |
There is no REACH-SVHC gap to close for Mauritius market access： neither Mauritius nor China imposes a REACH Article 33-style article-level SVHC communication duty, and Mauritius has no Candidate List or SCIP-style database. A Chinese manufacturer does not need to set up biannual ECHA-Candidate-List screening, a 45-day B2B response process, or SCIP registration for Mauritius. Residual actions are good-practice and verification only： （1） confirm with the relevant Mauritius authority whether any general chemical-control or hazardous-substance legislation affects specific LED luminaire materials; （2） if the same product is also exported to the EU, the REACH SVHC obligations apply there separately （ongoing ECHA Candidate List screening, Article 33 communication, possible SCIP registration） — but that is an EU obligation, not a Mauritius one.[INFORMATIONAL] Mauritius has no REACH-style SVHC supply-chain notification regime, no Candidate List, and no SCIP-style database, so there is no ongoing ECHA-screening or Article 33 communication obligation for Mauritius market access — China is aligned on this point. Confirm only whether any general Mauritius chemical-control legislation affects specific materials. If the product is also EU-bound, REACH SVHC obligations apply there separately. | Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB）2026-06-15 · reference |
| Mauritius Market-Access Process — MSB Conformity / Import Inspection vs CCC / CQC | In China, the primary mandatory certification for residential luminaires is CCC （China Compulsory Certification）, administered by CNCA, requiring third-party certification by a CNCA-authorised body （e.g. CQC – China Quality Certification Centre）. Voluntary CQC certification covers products outside mandatory CCC. Wireless-enabled luminaires additionally need SRRC type approval. None of CCC, CQC, or SRRC is recognised in Mauritius — they are China-domestic schemes. China test reports from ILAC-recognised labs may, however, support a Mauritius conformity submission because the underlying GB standards share an IEC base with the MS/IEC standards MSB adopts.CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires （CNCA/CQC） SRRC type approval — required for wireless-enabled luminaires in China |
Market access for LED luminaires in Mauritius typically centres on the Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB）, which adopts Mauritius Standards （MS） （generally aligned with IEC） and operates conformity-assessment and import-inspection arrangements for regulated products. There is no single EU-CE-style self-declared multi-directive mark; instead the practical package commonly involves： （1） an in-country importer responsible for placing the product on the market; （2） evidence that the luminaire meets the MSB-adopted MS/IEC safety standard （MS/IEC 60598 series; IEC 62560 for self-ballasted LED lamps）, EMC on the CISPR 15 basis, and IEC 62471 photobiological safety where applicable; （3） test reports preferably from an ILAC MRA-recognised laboratory; （4） ICTA type approval for any wireless functionality; （5） any energy-labelling requirement where the lamp category is in scope; and （6） goods clearing import inspection at Port Louis. Confirm the exact regulated-product list, conformity route （e.g. import permit / conformity certificate）, and document set with MSB and the in-country importer before shipment.Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） — adopted MS standards and conformity-assessment / import-inspection arrangements for regulated products MS/IEC 60598 series （luminaires）; IEC 62560 （self-ballasted LED lamps）; CISPR 15 （EMC）; IEC 62471 （photobiological safety） Information and Communication Technologies Authority （ICTA） — radio-equipment approval for wireless products |
CCC and the Mauritius MSB route are parallel, non-mutual processes： the China CCC/CQC mark and SRRC approval are not recognised in Mauritius, so the manufacturer needs a separate Mauritius-facing document set. Key differences vs EU CE and vs China CCC： （1） Mauritius relies on an in-country importer and MSB conformity / import inspection rather than a single self-declared CE-style mark or a single Chinese third-party CCC certificate; （2） the substantive technical content overlaps heavily because both China GB and Mauritius MS derive from IEC （60598, 62560, CISPR 15, 62471）, so ILAC-recognised test reports can often be reused, but acceptance and the exact conformity route must be confirmed with MSB; （3） wireless products need ICTA approval （no CE/CCC equivalent transfers）; （4） there is no Mauritius RoHS/REACH overlay （see ledmu-rohs-01/02）, so the Mauritius document set is narrower than the EU one on substances; （5） design and test at 230 V / 50 Hz. Confirm the regulated-product list, conformity certificate/import-permit requirements, and labelling language （English/French） with MSB and the importer.[INFORMATIONAL] Mauritius market access centres on the MSB （adopted MS/IEC standards, conformity assessment, import inspection at Port Louis） plus an in-country importer and ICTA approval for wireless products — not a single EU-CE-style self-declared mark. China CCC/CQC/SRRC are not recognised, but ILAC-recognised China test reports can often support the Mauritius submission because GB and MS share an IEC base （60598, 62560, CISPR 15, 62471）. There is no Mauritius RoHS/REACH overlay.

| Electrical Safety — General Luminaire （MSB-adopted MS/IEC 60598-1） | China's general luminaire safety standard is the GB 7000 series （GB 7000.1 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests, with relevant Part 2 sections）, derived from IEC 60598. CCC （China Compulsory Certification） is mandatory for residential luminaires within CNCA-C10-01 scope, with testing at CNCA-authorised laboratories. Because both GB 7000.1 and the Mauritius MS/IEC reference share the IEC 60598-1 base, the technical content overlaps heavily and ILAC-recognised China test reports may support the Mauritius submission — but the China CCC mark itself is not recognised in Mauritius, and conformity assessment, documentation, and the supply voltage assumption are separate.GB 7000.1 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests （SAC/SAMR, derived from IEC 60598-1） CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires |
LED luminaires supplied to Mauritius must meet electrical-safety requirements assessed against the Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） adopted MS/IEC 60598 series （Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests, plus the relevant Part 2 sections for the luminaire type）, generally aligned with IEC 60598. Key requirements cover protection against electric shock （touch current, insulation resistance, creepage and clearance distances）, thermal protection, mechanical strength, and wiring terminals — and must be validated for the local 230 V / 50 Hz supply （50 Hz matches China; nominal voltage differs from China 220 V, so creepage/clearance and thermal margins should be confirmed at 230 V）. Self-ballasted LED lamps are assessed against IEC 62560. Test reports should preferably come from an ILAC MRA-recognised laboratory and be presented to MSB / the in-country importer as part of the conformity or import-inspection package. Confirm the exact regulated-product scope and conformity route with MSB before shipment.Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） — adopted MS/IEC 60598-1 （Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests） and relevant Part 2 sections IEC 62560 — Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services （safety specifications, as adopted/referenced by MSB） |
GB 7000.1 and the Mauritius MS/IEC 60598-1 reference share the IEC 60598-1 base, so the technical re-testing burden is moderate-to-low. Key gaps： （1） recognition — the China CCC mark is not accepted in Mauritius; confirm with MSB / the in-country importer whether an ILAC-recognised IEC 60598-1 / GB 7000.1 safety report is accepted in the Mauritius conformity or import-inspection process for the category; （2） supply voltage — validate creepage/clearance, dielectric, and thermal performance at 230 V rather than China 220 V; （3） edition — provide the specific MS/IEC 60598-1 edition referenced; （4） process — Mauritius typically relies on an in-country importer plus MSB conformity / import inspection rather than a single Chinese third-party certificate; （5） documentation language — confirm whether English/French documentation is required. Self-ballasted LED lamps additionally fall under IEC 62560.[INFORMATIONAL] LED luminaire electrical safety for Mauritius is assessed against MSB-adopted MS/IEC 60598-1 （and IEC 62560 for self-ballasted LED lamps）, sharing the IEC base of China GB 7000.1, so re-testing burden is moderate-to-low. The China CCC mark is not recognised — confirm with MSB / the in-country importer whether an ILAC-recognised safety report is accepted. Validate creepage/clearance and thermal performance at 230 V / 50 Hz, provide the referenced MS/IEC edition, and confirm documentation language. | Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB）2026-06-15 · reference |
| LED Driver / Control Gear Safety （MSB-adopted MS/IEC 61347-2-13） | China's equivalent is GB 19510.14 （Control gear for lamps — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules）, aligned with IEC 61347-2-13, with the Part 1 general requirements in GB 19510.1. CCC may be required for LED drivers in certain power ranges sold in China's residential market. Because GB 19510.14 and the Mauritius MS/IEC reference share the IEC 61347-2-13 base, the technical content overlaps heavily, but the China CCC mark is not recognised in Mauritius.GB 19510.14 — Control gear for lamps — Part 2-13: electronic controlgear for LED modules （SAC/SAMR, aligned with IEC 61347-2-13） GB 19510.1 — Lamp controlgear — Part 1: General and safety requirements |
LED drivers （control gear for LED modules） supplied to Mauritius are assessed against the MSB-adopted MS/IEC 61347-2-13 （Lamp controlgear — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules）, generally aligned with IEC 61347-2-13, together with the Part 1 general requirements （IEC 61347-1）. It specifies isolation class, dielectric strength, thermal endurance, and safety marking for LED drivers, and must be validated for the local 230 V / 50 Hz mains. Where the driver is sold as a separate product （not integrated into the luminaire）, it should carry its own safety evidence within the MSB conformity / import-inspection package; where integrated, its safety evidence forms part of the luminaire technical file alongside the MS/IEC 60598 evidence. Test reports preferably from an ILAC MRA-recognised laboratory. Confirm scope and conformity route with MSB and the in-country importer.Mauritius Standards Bureau （MSB） — adopted MS/IEC 61347-2-13 （Lamp controlgear — Part 2-13: electronic controlgear for LED modules） with IEC 61347-1 general requirements IEC 61347-2-13 / IEC 61347-1 — Lamp controlgear safety （as adopted/referenced by MSB） |
GB 19510.14 and the Mauritius MS/IEC 61347-2-13 reference share the IEC 61347-2-13 base, so technical content is largely harmonised. Key gaps： （1） recognition — the China CCC mark is not accepted in Mauritius; confirm whether an ILAC-recognised IEC 61347-2-13 / GB 19510.14 safety report is accepted in the MSB conformity or import-inspection process; （2） supply voltage — validate dielectric, isolation, and thermal endurance at 230 V / 50 Hz rather than China 220 V; （3） standalone vs integrated — a driver sold separately should carry its own safety evidence in the Mauritius package; an integrated driver's evidence forms part of the luminaire technical file; （4） edition — cite the specific MS/IEC 61347-2-13 edition referenced. Confirm with MSB / the in-country importer whether the driver power/voltage range is within MSB conformity / import-inspection scope.[INFORMATIONAL] LED driver safety for Mauritius is assessed against MSB-adopted MS/IEC 61347-2-13 （with IEC 61347-1）, sharing the IEC base of China GB 19510.14, so re-testing burden is low. The China CCC mark is not recognised — confirm whether an ILAC-recognised safety report is accepted in the MSB conformity / import-inspection process. Validate at 230 V / 50 Hz.
