Zhaga-D4i certification - why is it relevant?
Why does a Zhaga-D4i certification matter?
Zhaga-D4i is an internationally recognized standard for luminaire and sensor interoperability in the outdoor lighting industry. Zhaga, the "federation of global luminaire and component suppliers," developed this standard to enable seamless integration of LED luminaires and sensors.
Why is the Zhaga-D4i standard important in public lighting?
The Zhaga-D4i standard is of great importance to the outdoor lighting industry, as it ensures compatibility and interoperability between different manufacturers and products. By adhering to the standard, manufacturers can ensure that their products work smoothly with other Zhaga-D4i-certified products, regardless of brand or model. This is highly important for electric utilities, cities and municipalities because it reduces dependence on "island solutions."
Advantages of Zhaga-D4i certified luminaires and sensors
- Compatibility: Zhaga-D4i-certified luminaires and sensors can seamlessly communicate and work together, regardless of manufacturer or brand choice.
- Flexibility: Standard Zhaga-D4i makes it easy to replace or upgrade luminaires and sensors without extensive rewiring or modifications.
- Energy efficiency: The standard enables optimized control and regulation of lighting, which leads to more efficient use of energy and thus contributes to cost savings.
- Future-proofing: Zhaga-D4i ensures that your lighting installation is ready for future developments and innovations. You can easily integrate new sensors and luminaires if they meet the standard.
Requirements for Zhaga-D4i certification
To obtain the Zhaga-D4i certificate, manufacturers must subject their luminaires and sensors to certain requirements and tests. To ensure compliance with the criteria, there are 6 institutions around the world that are authorized to conduct these tests and verify compliance.
These include aspects such as mechanical and electrical interfaces, communication protocols, and energy metering. Only products that meet all criteria after being tested by one of the testing institutes receive the coveted Zhaga-D4i certification.
Difference between Zhaga products and Zhaga certified products
Zhaga products are general lighting products that support the Zhaga standard. They may not be specifically designed to work with other Zhaga products. Zhaga-certified products, on the other hand, meet all the requirements of the Zhaga-D4i standard and are fully interoperable with other Zhaga-D4i-certified products.
Zhaga-D4i-certified products offer the assurance of smooth collaboration and interoperability between different manufacturers and models
