2. Connect with qualified laboratories, submit materials + send samples
3. Optical testing in a laboratory darkroom (focusing on measuring blue light hazards)
4. Determine the safety level of RG
5. Issue a formal EN62471 test report
6. Incorporate the complete set of CE technical documentation (TCF) and issue a Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
7. Product affixed with CE marking + compliant shipment

* Testing Application Form (template provided by the laboratory)
* Product English manual (with direct-view protection warning)
* Clear photos of product appearance and interior
2. Core technical information
* Product specification (voltage, power, color temperature, light source parameters)
* Circuit diagram, PCB layout
* BOM (Bill of Materials) (LED, driver core materials)
* For multiple models, a description of the differences between them is required
