What to look at for this product

If your dual battery headlamp can operate while connected to external power, ask for the supplier's declaration covering the lamp controls and that power arrangement.

If your headlamp uses only the removable batteries for power, ask for its highest lighting control frequency to check the battery only exemption.

If your headlamp isn't exempt from emissions authorization, request the digital emissions test evidence covering its electronic assembly.

If your headlamp needs an FCC statement, check the wording prepared for the lamp assembly and the electronic controls housed behind its lighting unit.

If your headlamp will be sold in California, request material details for the head strap and lamp housing materials to assess chemical warnings.

If your headlamp needs a supplier declaration, ask the supplier to name the US responsible party identified for the lamp controls and power circuitry.
