The test standards for lighting equipment are much less strict than for non-lighting equipment. So it would actually be beneficial for it to count as a lighting device.
With that said, 55015 seems to be written for devices with a primary function of illumination. For example, photocopiers, refrigerators, ovens, lighting equipment for road vehicles, are all exempt because lighting is secondary. Also, if infrared devices fall under a different standard. After a little searching around, I think you are looking for CISPR 14-2. “CISPR 14-2 is applicable to electrical apparatus for household and similar purposes, as well as electric toys and electric tools, with rated voltage being not more than 250 V (single phase) or 480 V (multi phase) including: - Electrical Household equipment and Portable Tools; - Agricultural equipment such as electric fences, milking machines, etc: - Electric toys such as toys running on tracks, etc; - Electronic regulating controls; - "Single components”, such as heating thermostats, etc; - Microwave ovens for domestic use and catering; - RF cooking hobs and ovens and induction cooking appliances; - UV & IR radiators for personal care.” That last one seems to be about right. Maybe somebody with more expertise can correct me?

Do test standards for lighting equipment (EN 55015, EN 61547, etc.) apply to a wax warmer using light bulbs? It is basically a lighting device. However, the application is not for lighting. For a product with clock/operating frequency less than 9 kHz, is it exempted from regulatory requirements, such as EN 55015? Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
