Compliance Gap Matrix
| Compliance item | Common China baseline | Myanmar (MSTRD / MIC) | Gap / action | Source + verification date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Efficiency — Myanmar MSTRD Voluntary Energy Programme | China's equivalent is GB 30255-2019 (Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires), defining three mandatory grades: Grade 1 (≥90 lm/W), Grade 2 (≥80 lm/W), Grade 3 (≥70 lm/W minimum for CN market). China Energy Label (CEL) registration is mandatory for GB 30255-covered products under SAMR. CN CCC certification for luminaires covers safety (GB 7000 series) but does not in itself constitute an energy performance certificate.GB 30255-2019 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires (SAC/SAMR) | Myanmar does not have a mandatory ecodesign or minimum energy performance standard (MEPS) for LED luminaires equivalent to international frameworks as of 2026. MSTRD (Myanmar Standards and Testing Research Division, under MoST) has adopted a number of MS standards aligned with IEC, but energy performance thresholds for LED lamps and luminaires are not enforced as market-entry conditions. Myanmar's national energy efficiency programmes are nascent; the Department of Energy Planning (DEP) under the Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE) has published voluntary energy efficiency guidelines, but mandatory minimum lm/W, CRI, or lifetime requirements for LED luminaires are not in force. Importers are advised to document product performance data (luminous efficacy, CRI, rated lifetime) to facilitate customs clearance and buyer due diligence, particularly for government procurement channels.MSTRD voluntary MS standards aligned with IEC 60598 series (luminaire performance) Myanmar Department of Energy Planning (DEP/MOEE) voluntary energy efficiency guidelines |
Myanmar has no mandatory MEPS or energy label obligation for LED luminaires as of 2026 — this is a significant difference from the CN market where Grade 3 (≥70 lm/W) is the mandatory floor and CEL registration is required. Chinese manufacturers do not need to adapt product performance specifically for a Myanmar energy regulation, but should document lm/W and CRI data for buyer and government-channel requirements. Myanmar's grid voltage (230 V, 50 Hz) differs from China's domestic nominal (220 V, 50 Hz) — while 50 Hz alignment is beneficial, verify that the luminaire's rated voltage range covers 230 V operation and that any driver is tested at 230 V input.[INFORMATIONAL] Myanmar has no mandatory minimum energy performance standard or energy labelling obligation for LED luminaires as of 2026. MSTRD standards in the IEC 60598 family are voluntary. Chinese manufacturers should document product energy performance data for buyer due diligence and government procurement, and must verify that their luminaires are rated for Myanmar's 230 V / 50 Hz grid. | Myanmar Standards and Testing Research Division (MSTRD), Ministry of Science and Technology2026-06-16 · reference |
| MIC Import Permit and Customs Documentation for LED Luminaires | In China, LED luminaires sold in the residential market require CCC (China Compulsory Certification) under CNCA-C10-01, administered by CQC. Export from China to Myanmar does not require a separate Chinese export licence for standard LED luminaires under current MOFCOM rules (verify current controlled-goods lists). Chinese Customs may require an export customs declaration; origin documentation (Form E under ASEAN-China FTA / ACFTA) may reduce Myanmar import tariff rates for goods of China origin.CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires (CNCA/CQC) ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) — Form E preferential origin certificate |
The Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) and the Ministry of Commerce (MoC) administer import licensing for regulated goods. LED lamps and luminaires entering Myanmar via Yangon/Thilawa port or Mandalay overland from Yunnan (China) may require an import licence depending on the applicable HS code and the current restricted/prohibited import list. As of 2026, LED luminaires generally fall under Chapter 85 of Myanmar's import tariff schedule. Importers should confirm whether an import licence is required from the Ministry of Commerce for the specific HS heading, and whether any Myanmar-specific conformity declaration or test report referencing an MS/IEC standard is required by customs authorities as a condition of clearance. MSTRD can issue type-test certificates against MS standards upon request.Myanmar Import and Export Law (2012) and subsidiary notifications — Ministry of Commerce Myanmar Investment Law (2016) — Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) MSTRD type-test certification service — MS/IEC 60598 and MS/IEC 62560 basis |
The key gap is Myanmar's import licensing framework: whether a specific import licence is required depends on the current MoC notification for the relevant HS code, which may change. CCC certification issued in China is not recognised by Myanmar authorities and does not substitute for any Myanmar conformity documentation. Importers should obtain ACFTA Form E origin certificates to benefit from ASEAN-China FTA preferential tariffs. The Mandalay overland route from Yunnan may be subject to different documentation requirements than the Yangon/Thilawa sea route — verify with the local customs broker.[INFORMATIONAL] LED luminaires exported from China to Myanmar may require an MIC/MoC import licence depending on the current HS code notification. Chinese CCC certification is not recognised by Myanmar customs. Importers should prepare ACFTA Form E origin certificates for preferential tariff treatment and confirm whether MSTRD conformity documentation is required for customs clearance on the specific entry route (Yangon/Thilawa vs. Mandalay overland). | Ministry of Commerce, Republic of the Union of Myanmar2026-06-16 · reference |
| EMC — Myanmar MSTRD / MS Standards (IEC 55015 / CISPR 15 Basis) | In China, LED luminaires must comply with GB 17743-2021 (Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting equipment and similar equipment — equivalent to CISPR 15) and GB 17625.1-2022 (Electromagnetic compatibility — Limits for harmonic current emissions). EMC compliance is required for CCC certification; test reports must be from a CNAS-accredited laboratory. SRRC type approval is additionally required for wireless-enabled products.GB 17743-2021 — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment (SAC/SAMR — equivalent to CISPR 15) GB 17625.1-2022 — Electromagnetic compatibility — Limits for harmonic current emissions (SAC/SAMR) |
Myanmar does not have a mandatory EMC type-approval framework for LED luminaires enforced at the border equivalent to CE-EMC or FCC Part 15. MSTRD adopts MS standards that align with IEC/CISPR publications, including CISPR 15 (Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting equipment). However, conformity to MS/CISPR 15 is voluntary for LED luminaires in Myanmar as of 2026 — it is not a statutory market-entry condition. Importers supplying luminaires to large commercial or government projects may encounter specification requirements referencing CISPR 15 or IEC 60598 electromagnetic compatibility provisions. MPT (Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications) has authority over radio frequency emissions for wireless-enabled products — see ledmm-emc-02.MS/CISPR 15 (Myanmar standard aligned with CISPR 15 — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting equipment) — voluntary MS/IEC 60598-1 (General requirements for luminaires, including EMC provisions) — voluntary adoption by MSTRD |
Myanmar does not have a mandatory EMC market-entry requirement for LED luminaires as of 2026 — Chinese GB 17743 / CCC EMC compliance is more stringent than Myanmar's current regulatory floor. Manufacturers holding valid CN CCC EMC test reports (CISPR 15 / GB 17743 basis) will satisfy any Myanmar project-specification EMC requirement, as the technical basis is aligned. No additional Myanmar-specific EMC certification body approval is required for standard (non-wireless) LED luminaires. The practical compliance gap runs in reverse: Myanmar imports Chinese products with a higher EMC documentation baseline than Myanmar currently mandates.[INFORMATIONAL] Myanmar has no mandatory EMC approval requirement for standard LED luminaires as of 2026. Chinese CCC EMC test reports (GB 17743 / CISPR 15 basis) satisfy any project-specification EMC requirement in Myanmar. For wireless-enabled luminaires, MPT type approval is a separate mandatory step. No Myanmar-specific EMC retesting is required for non-wireless products. | Myanmar Standards and Testing Research Division (MSTRD), Ministry of Science and Technology2026-06-16 · reference |
| MPT Type Approval for Smart / Wireless-Enabled LED Luminaires | In China, wireless-enabled LED luminaires require SRRC (State Radio Regulation Commission) type approval for the radio module under MIIT regulations. SRRC approval covers frequency band, emission power, and modulation for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee modules. CCC certification for the luminaire and SRRC approval for the wireless module are both required for CN market entry. SRRC-approved modules from established Chinese suppliers may have existing SRRC certificates that can be referenced in the product technical file.SRRC type approval — State Radio Regulation Commission (MIIT), China — required for wireless radio modules in products sold in China | Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications (MPT), operating under the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MoTC), administers radio frequency spectrum and type approval for wireless-enabled devices in Myanmar. LED luminaires incorporating Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or other radio modules are classified as wireless telecom terminal equipment and require MPT type approval before importation and sale. The type approval process involves submission of technical documentation and test reports (referencing IEC or ETSI standards) to MPT for review. MPT may accept test reports from accredited overseas laboratories. Smart LED luminaires without wireless radio modules are not subject to MPT type approval.Myanmar Telecommunications Law (2013) and subsidiary MPT type approval procedures — Ministry of Transport and Communications (MoTC) MPT Type Approval — technical documentation referencing IEC/ETSI standards for wireless modules |
Chinese SRRC type approval for the wireless module is not recognised by MPT Myanmar — a separate MPT type approval application is required for smart LED luminaires incorporating wireless radio modules. The MPT process requires submission of technical documentation and test reports to MPT directly. Processing timelines and fees for MPT type approval should be confirmed with a local Myanmar representative or licensed telecom consultant, as procedures may evolve. Non-wireless LED luminaires are not affected by this gap.[INFORMATIONAL] Smart or wireless-enabled LED luminaires (incorporating Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or similar radio modules) require MPT type approval in Myanmar before importation and sale. Chinese SRRC type approval is not recognised by MPT. A separate MPT application with technical documentation and test reports is required. Standard non-wireless LED luminaires are not subject to MPT type approval. | Ministry of Transport and Communications (MoTC), Republic of the Union of Myanmar2026-06-16 · reference |
| Photobiological Safety — MS/IEC 62471 (Voluntary) in Myanmar | In China, photobiological safety for LED lamps and luminaires is assessed under GB/T 20145-2006 (equivalent to IEC/TR 62471:2006) and GB 7000.1-2015 (General requirements for luminaires, which references photobiological safety provisions). For CCC-certified luminaires, photobiological safety risk group declarations (RG0 or RG1 for general consumer use) are typically included in the product technical file. Blue light hazard (BLH) class labelling on LED lamps for general lighting is addressed under GB/T 20145 and referenced in CCC test programmes.GB/T 20145-2006 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems (equivalent to IEC/TR 62471:2006, SAC/SAMR) GB 7000.1-2015 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests (SAC/SAMR — includes photobiological safety provisions) |
Myanmar does not have a mandatory photobiological safety certification requirement for LED luminaires as of 2026. MSTRD has aligned with the IEC 62471 series (Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems) through the MS standards adoption process, but compliance is voluntary and not enforced as a market-entry condition. MS/IEC 62471 defines Risk Group classifications (RG0 Exempt, RG1 Low, RG2 Moderate, RG3 High) based on blue light hazard, UV hazard, thermal hazard, and infrared hazard limits. Commercial and government procurement specifications in Myanmar may reference IEC 62471 risk group declarations, particularly for luminaires used in public, healthcare, or educational settings.MS/IEC 62471 (Myanmar standard aligned with IEC 62471 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems) — voluntary adoption by MSTRD | Myanmar does not mandate photobiological safety risk group labelling or certification for LED luminaires as of 2026. Chinese CCC test reports including GB/T 20145 photobiological safety risk group declarations will satisfy any Myanmar project-specification or buyer due diligence requirement referencing IEC 62471. No additional Myanmar-specific photobiological safety testing is required. Manufacturers whose products are already classified as RG0 or RG1 under CN testing have a straightforward documentation position for Myanmar market entry.[INFORMATIONAL] Myanmar has no mandatory photobiological safety certification requirement for LED luminaires as of 2026. IEC 62471 compliance is voluntary. Chinese CCC test reports including GB/T 20145 risk group declarations satisfy any Myanmar buyer or project specification requirement. No Myanmar-specific retesting is required. | Myanmar Standards and Testing Research Division (MSTRD), Ministry of Science and Technology2026-06-16 · reference |
| Blue Light Hazard (BLH) Labelling Requirement — Myanmar Status | In China, blue light hazard (BLH) labelling for LED lamps is addressed under GB/T 20145-2006 and the supplementary CCC certification requirements for luminaires. Products classified as RG2 (Moderate Risk) are required to carry a warning label advising against prolonged direct viewing. General consumer LED lamps typically must be RG0 or RG1; RG2 products face additional labelling and use-restriction documentation requirements in the CN CCC framework.GB/T 20145-2006 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems — BLH risk group classification and warning label requirements (SAC/SAMR) | Myanmar has no mandatory blue light hazard (BLH) labelling requirement for LED lamps or luminaires as of 2026. There is no Myanmar regulation equivalent to the EU energy label's mandatory BLH class marking. MSTRD has not issued a mandatory MS standard or notification requiring BLH risk group labelling on LED product packaging or luminaires for the domestic or import market. Inclusion of a BLH risk group declaration (e.g., 'Risk Group 0 — No photobiological hazard' or 'RG1') on product documentation or packaging is a best practice and may be requested by commercial buyers, but is not a statutory requirement.No mandatory Myanmar BLH labelling standard as of 2026 MS/IEC 62471 (voluntary reference for BLH risk group classification) |
Myanmar imposes no BLH labelling obligation — Chinese GB/T 20145 BLH risk group documentation exceeds Myanmar's current requirements. Manufacturers should include BLH risk group information in product technical data sheets as a best practice for commercial buyers; no Myanmar-specific BLH label format is mandated. This is a gap running in reverse: CN products carry more BLH documentation than Myanmar requires.[INFORMATIONAL] Myanmar has no mandatory blue light hazard labelling requirement for LED luminaires as of 2026. Chinese CCC BLH risk group documentation satisfies any Myanmar buyer requirement. Including BLH risk group data on product datasheets is recommended as best practice but is not legally required for Myanmar market access. | Myanmar Standards and Testing Research Division (MSTRD), Ministry of Science and Technology2026-06-16 · reference |
| RoHS / Hazardous Substances — Myanmar Has No Horizontal RoHS Law | China's equivalent is the Management Methods for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (Order No. 32, 2016, amended 2019), which mandates hazardous substance disclosure and labelling under SJ/T 11364 for all EEE products. LED luminaires must carry the China RoHS "e" disclosure label and provide a material declaration table covering the six restricted substances (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr6+, PBB, PBDE). China RoHS does not set absolute ban thresholds for all products — it requires disclosure and, for products on the Catalogue, compliance with concentration limits equivalent to RoHS 2 thresholds.Management Methods for Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances in EEE (Order No. 32, 2016 / 2019 amendment) — Ministry of Industry and Information Technology SJ/T 11364-2014 — Marking for the restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products |
Myanmar has no horizontal RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) legislation for electrical and electronic equipment as of 2026. There is no Myanmar law or MSTRD mandatory standard that mirrors the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU or China's SJ/T 11363 framework, restricting lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE in LED luminaires as a condition of import or sale. Hazardous substance restrictions for electrical products are not enforced at Myanmar's borders as standalone market-access conditions. Importers and buyers may include RoHS self-declaration requirements in private purchase contracts, but these are contractual, not statutory.No Myanmar horizontal RoHS law applicable to LED luminaires as of 2026 MSTRD MS standards do not include mandatory hazardous substance content limits for LED luminaires |
The gap runs entirely in reverse: China imposes mandatory RoHS-equivalent hazardous substance disclosure and labelling obligations on LED luminaires; Myanmar imposes none. Chinese exporters to Myanmar do not need to satisfy any Myanmar-side hazardous substance restriction as a statutory requirement. Buyers sourcing for projects with international financing (World Bank, ADB) may impose IEC or RoHS-equivalent contractual requirements regardless of Myanmar law — exporters should clarify contract terms. No Myanmar-specific hazardous substance testing or documentation is required for customs clearance.[INFORMATIONAL] Myanmar has no horizontal RoHS legislation for LED luminaires as of 2026. No hazardous substance restriction documentation is required for Myanmar customs clearance or market entry. Chinese RoHS disclosure documentation (SJ/T 11364 label and material declaration table) satisfies any Myanmar buyer contractual requirement referencing RoHS equivalence. Exporters should confirm project-specific contractual requirements where international financing is involved. | Myanmar Standards and Testing Research Division (MSTRD), Ministry of Science and Technology2026-06-16 · reference |
| Mercury Content in LED Luminaires — No Myanmar Restriction | Under China RoHS (Order No. 32), mercury (Hg) is one of the six restricted substances with a concentration limit of 0.1 wt% (1000 ppm) for homogeneous materials in EEE products, including LED luminaires. LED luminaires are designed to be mercury-free and routinely comply with this limit. China has also enacted domestic Minamata Convention implementation measures addressing certain mercury-added lamp phase-outs (principally affecting fluorescent lamps, not LEDs). Mercury content must be declared in the SJ/T 11364 material declaration table for LED luminaire products.Management Methods for Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances in EEE (Order No. 32) — Hg limit 0.1 wt% in homogeneous materials SJ/T 11364-2014 — Mercury content disclosure in material declaration table |
Myanmar has no mandatory restriction on mercury content in LED lamps or luminaires as of 2026. The Minamata Convention on Mercury entered into force globally in 2017; Myanmar ratified the Convention in 2014. However, as of 2026, Minamata obligations for specific-use mercury-added lamps (such as compact fluorescent lamps) do not extend to LED luminaires, which by design contain no added mercury. MSTRD has not published a mandatory MS standard restricting mercury content in LED products. LED luminaires are generally mercury-free by design — this row documents the absence of a Myanmar restriction rather than a compliance gap requiring action.Minamata Convention on Mercury (ratified by Myanmar 2014) — does not impose mercury content limits on LED luminaires No Myanmar mandatory mercury content standard for LED luminaires as of 2026 |
No compliance gap exists for mercury in the China-to-Myanmar direction: Myanmar imposes no mercury restriction on LED luminaires; LED luminaires are mercury-free by design and already comply with China RoHS limits. No additional action is required for Myanmar market entry with respect to mercury content. Exporters should retain existing CN material declaration tables as supporting documentation for buyer due diligence purposes.[INFORMATIONAL] Myanmar has no mandatory mercury restriction for LED luminaires. LED luminaires are mercury-free by design and comply with China RoHS limits. No Myanmar-specific mercury documentation is required. Exporters should retain CN material declaration data for buyer due diligence purposes. | Myanmar Standards and Testing Research Division (MSTRD), Ministry of Science and Technology2026-06-16 · reference |
| Lead, Cadmium, and Other Restricted Substances — Myanmar No Restriction | China's Order No. 32 (2016/2019) mandates restricted substance content limits for six hazardous substances in homogeneous materials of EEE products: Pb ≤0.1 wt%, Hg ≤0.1 wt%, Cd ≤0.01 wt%, Cr6+ ≤0.1 wt%, PBB ≤0.1 wt%, PBDE ≤0.1 wt%. All six substances must be declared in the SJ/T 11364 material declaration table affixed to the product or its packaging. LED luminaires supplied for the CN market must comply with these limits and carry the China RoHS "e" mark with a Hazardous Substance Content Table.Management Methods for Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances in EEE (Order No. 32, 2016/2019) — six substance limits SJ/T 11364-2014 — Hazardous Substance Content Table marking for EEE products |
Myanmar has no mandatory restrictions on lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in LED luminaires as of 2026. There is no Myanmar equivalent of the EU RoHS substance list or China's Order No. 32 restricted substance framework applicable to LED luminaires at the border. Myanmar's environmental and chemical management regulations do not currently extend to product-level restricted substance content limits for electrical goods. This row documents the absence of Myanmar-side restrictions rather than a gap requiring corrective action from Chinese exporters.No mandatory restricted substance content limits for LED luminaires in Myanmar as of 2026 Myanmar Environmental Conservation Law (2012) — does not impose product-level RoHS-equivalent limits for electrical goods |
No compliance gap exists in the China-to-Myanmar direction for lead, cadmium, or other RoHS-equivalent substances: Myanmar imposes no restricted substance content limits on LED luminaires. Chinese products compliant with CN Order No. 32 already satisfy any conceivable Myanmar buyer contractual requirement. No additional testing, labelling, or documentation is required for Myanmar market entry on restricted substance grounds. Exporters should retain existing CN material declaration documentation as part of their product technical file for buyer due diligence and any future regulatory change in Myanmar.[INFORMATIONAL] Myanmar has no mandatory restricted substance (Pb, Cd, Cr6+, PBB, PBDE) limits for LED luminaires as of 2026. No RoHS-equivalent documentation is required for Myanmar customs clearance or market entry. Chinese products complying with CN Order No. 32 meet any Myanmar buyer contractual requirement.

| Electrical Safety — General Luminaire (MS/IEC 60598 / MSTRD) | 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 and implementation requirements. CCC certification under CNCA-C10-01 is administered by CQC and is mandatory for residential luminaires sold in China. For LED lamps, GB/T 24908-2020 aligns with IEC 62560. CCC test reports from CNCA-authorised laboratories cover safety requirements broadly comparable to IEC 60598-1 and IEC 62560.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 (CNCA/CQC) GB/T 24908-2020 — Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services (aligned with IEC 62560) |
Myanmar MSTRD (Myanmar Standards and Testing Research Division, Ministry of Science and Technology) adopts IEC-based MS standards for luminaire safety, principally MS/IEC 60598-1 (General requirements for luminaires). As of 2026, compliance with MS/IEC 60598-1 is voluntary — it is not enforced as a mandatory market-entry condition at Myanmar's borders for LED luminaires. However, importers supplying government tenders, public infrastructure projects, or large commercial projects may be required to provide conformity documentation referencing MS/IEC 60598-1. Myanmar's grid operates at 230 V / 50 Hz; Chinese luminaires rated for 220 V nominal should be verified to operate within the Myanmar voltage range. MSTRD can issue type-test certificates against MS standards upon request. There is no Myanmar-equivalent mandatory safety certification scheme (analogous to China's CCC) for LED luminaires as a statutory import requirement.MS/IEC 60598-1 — Luminaires: General requirements and tests (Myanmar standard aligned with IEC 60598-1, adopted by MSTRD) — voluntary MS/IEC 62560 — Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services (Myanmar standard aligned with IEC 62560) — voluntary |
The key safety gap for China-to-Myanmar export is the voltage difference: Myanmar's grid is 230 V / 50 Hz versus China's domestic nominal 220 V / 50 Hz. While both IEC 60598-1 and GB/T 7000.1-2023 share a common IEC base, luminaires and drivers designed and tested for 220 V nominal should be verified to operate within the 230 V Myanmar supply voltage. A Chinese CCC test report does not automatically demonstrate Myanmar conformity, but because MS/IEC 60598-1 shares the same IEC 60598-1 technical basis as GB/T 7000.1, existing CCC test data substantially supports MS/IEC 60598-1 project-specification requirements. No mandatory Myanmar-side safety certification scheme requires separate factory inspection or certification body approval. For government tenders, providing IEC 60598-1 or MS/IEC 60598-1 referenced test reports from an ILAC MRA-accredited laboratory is recommended.[INFORMATIONAL] Myanmar does not enforce a mandatory safety certification scheme for LED luminaires at import as of 2026. MS/IEC 60598-1 compliance is voluntary. The critical practical requirement is voltage verification: luminaires must be confirmed to operate at 230 V / 50 Hz (Myanmar grid) rather than China's 220 V nominal. For government and infrastructure project tenders, IEC 60598-1 referenced test reports from ILAC MRA-accredited laboratories are recommended. Chinese CCC test data provides a strong technical basis for MS/IEC 60598-1 project-specification requirements given the shared IEC technical foundation. | Myanmar Standards and Testing Research Division (MSTRD), Ministry of Science and Technology2026-06-16 · reference |
| LED Driver / Control Gear Safety — MS/IEC 61347 (Voluntary) in Myanmar | 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 residential market under CNCA-C10-01. Chinese CCC test reports under GB 19510.14 are issued by CNCA-authorised laboratories and cover safety requirements substantially aligned with IEC 61347-2-13.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 — aligned with IEC 61347-2-13) CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires and associated control gear |
MSTRD adopts IEC 61347-series MS standards for lamp controlgear safety, including MS/IEC 61347-2-13 (Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules). As of 2026, compliance is voluntary and not enforced as a mandatory market-entry condition in Myanmar. LED drivers or control gear sold as standalone products or integrated into luminaires are not subject to a mandatory Myanmar certification process. Project specifications for government and commercial buyers may reference MS/IEC 61347-2-13 or IEC 61347-2-13 for LED driver safety performance requirements. Myanmar grid voltage of 230 V / 50 Hz must be accounted for in driver design and rated voltage range.MS/IEC 61347-2-13 — Lamp controlgear: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules (Myanmar standard aligned with IEC 61347-2-13) — voluntary MS/IEC 60598-1 — General requirements for luminaires (includes driver/control gear safety provisions as part of luminaire system) — voluntary |
Myanmar does not mandate any certification for LED drivers — the gap is lower compliance burden than in China. The key practical issue is the voltage difference: LED drivers rated for 220 V nominal (China standard) must be verified to operate correctly at 230 V / 50 Hz (Myanmar grid). Because GB 19510.14-2014 and MS/IEC 61347-2-13 share the same IEC 61347-2-13 technical base, existing Chinese CCC test data for the driver substantially supports project-specification requirements referencing MS/IEC 61347-2-13 in Myanmar. No Myanmar-specific driver certification body exists. For government project submissions, test reports from an ILAC MRA-accredited laboratory referencing IEC 61347-2-13 are recommended.[INFORMATIONAL] Myanmar has no mandatory LED driver safety certification requirement as of 2026. MS/IEC 61347-2-13 compliance is voluntary. The primary practical requirement is voltage range verification for 230 V / 50 Hz operation. Chinese CCC test data under GB 19510.14-2014 (IEC 61347-2-13 basis) satisfies project-specification requirements for LED driver safety in Myanmar. For government tenders, ILAC MRA-accredited laboratory test reports referencing IEC 61347-2-13 are recommended. | Myanmar Standards and Testing Research Division (MSTRD), Ministry of Science and Technology2026-06-16 · reference |
