I assume (please correct me if I am wrong) >EN55015 and EN61547 are the EMC test standards. Yes, although EN 61547 says it's for 'general purpose' lighting equipment, it is acceptable for dimmers in the absence of any more relevant standard. For safety, I recommend applying EN 60439-1 for the power electronics part, and EN 60950 for any low-power control circuits. > > > >Question 3: > >IF a CE mark applies to an enclosure from Question 1 and a lighting >module is CE marked, can I say the lighting module(s) in an enclosure >is CE marked ( i.e., CE+CE=CE?).
