Import Tips & Compliance

Verify UV wavelength certification (e.g

254nm UV-C) to confirm classification under ultraviolet lamps

Include ozone production specs in documentation; high-ozone lamps may require EPA compliance

Avoid misclassification as LED sources; ensure no LED components to prevent reclassification
