For the product which rated power is less than or equal to 75W, clients can change the certificate directly.
The related category (10) the electrical control device of illumination device needs to test according to the new standard (except the control device of LED or electrical apparatus, which input power is less than 25W,). In particular, the inductor device could accomplish the change of standard directly without differential test. All the other category (10) illumination device is required to test according to the new standard.
