inteliLIGHT®’s commitment to global standards: what our ENEC, FFC, RED, UL and D4i certifications mean for smart street lighting projects

Our mission is to create future-ready, reliable smart street lighting infrastructure that cities and utilities can trust. That’s why we’ve aligned our technology with some of the most respected global certification frameworks: ENEC (Europe), FCC (United States), RED (Europe), UL (North America) and D4i (global). These internationally recognized certifications confirm that inteliLIGHT meets the stringent safety and performance standards – not just in Europe, but across North America and other global markets.
What our certifications mean for our partners and customers
The ENEC, FCC, RED, UL and D4i certifications are a step toward removing friction from smart street lighting projects. These certifications help ensure that:
- Approvals move faster, especially in regions where certified components are mandatory for electrical or wireless infrastructure.
- Procurement becomes simpler, aligning with local compliance and international standards frameworks.
- Safety and quality are verifiable, offering confidence during audits, inspections, or public-sector evaluations.
- Future upgrades are smoother, thanks to compatibility with recognized regulatory and interoperability benchmarks.
ENEC Certification for smart street lighting
The ENEC (European Norms Electrical Certification) is a voluntary, third-party certification that demonstrates full compliance with European safety and photometric standards for electrical equipment.
For our customers and partners in Europe, this means:
- Independent verification of electrical safety and lighting performance
- Compatibility with EU regulations and public tender requirements
- Confidence in long-term reliability and product lifespan
- Reduced time-to-market in European smart street lighting projects
ENEC certification is often preferred for urban infrastructure and municipal contracts, where compliance and trust are non-negotiable.
FCC Certification for smart street lighting
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) certification is a legal requirement for any electronic product that emits radiofrequency (RF) signals in the United States. For our LoRaWAN™, NB-IoT, LTE-M and GSM-based smart controllers, this confirms that:
- RF emissions are within safe, regulated limits
- Our devices won’t interfere with other communication systems
- Smart street lighting deployments in the US can move forward without regulatory concerns
For utilities and integrators in North America, FCC certification ensures that inteliLIGHT is ready for urban-scale deployment and public IoT infrastructure.
RED Certification for smart street lighting
The Radio Equipment Directive (RED) is a key regulatory framework that governs all radio-enabled devices in the European Economic Area. It ensures that smart street lighting components using wireless technologies like LoRaWAN®, NB-IoT, or LTE-M operate safely, reliably, and without causing interference.
With RED certified smart street lighting components, our customers benefit from:
- Verified health and safety compliance for RF exposure
- Electromagnetic compatibility to avoid disruption with other systems
- Efficient spectrum use, minimizing interference and ensuring reliable communication
- Legal authorization to deploy radio-based street lighting infrastructure across the EU
RED compliance underscores inteliLIGHT’s readiness for scalable, standards-based smart lighting solutions throughout Europe.
UL Certification for smart street lighting
UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification is one of the most respected marks of electrical safety and quality in the United States and Canada.
With UL-certified smart street lighting components, our customers benefit from:
- Verified compliance with North American electrical safety standards
- Peace of mind when integrating with other UL-certified infrastructure
- Easier approvals for public projects in cities, highways, ports, and industrial areas
UL certification is especially important for OEM partnerships and lighting manufacturers that need compliant solutions for North American projects.
D4i certification for smart street lighting
D4i (DALI for IoT) is a certification issued by the DALI Alliance that ensures full compliance with the DALI-2 standard – the global protocol for digital communication in lighting systems. Designed specifically for IoT-ready luminaires, D4i enables enhanced interoperability, standardization and smart functionality within connected lighting infrastructure.
With D4i-certified components, our customers gain:
- Assured interoperability with other D4i-compliant devices, reducing integration complexity
- Built-in support for diagnostics, energy metering, and asset data, streamlining maintenance and performance optimization
- A future-proof foundation for evolving smart city applications using standardized digital lighting communication
- Simplified integration with luminaire-mounted control devices, supporting plug-and-play functionality for smart lighting deployments
D4i certification reflects our commitment to open standards and intelligent lighting design, ensuring that our solutions are truly smart, adaptable and ready for the future of urban infrastructure.
