Quality assurance
Quality Control, Certification & Warranty You Can Verify
Mast Lighting operates a TÜV Rheinland audited factory (MIC-ASI264744) with ISO9001 quality management and inspection at every production stage. Solar street lights carry a 3-year warranty and use LiFePO4 cells rated for a typical 5 to 8 year service life.
Quality is controlled where the product is made
An outdoor luminaire fails years after it is installed, in a country the manufacturer will never visit. That is why inspection has to happen upstream — at the cell, at the casting, at the weld — rather than as a final glance before the carton is sealed.
Mast Lighting keeps research and development, production, engineering and export inside one organisation, so a defect trend found on the line reaches the engineers who designed the part rather than a supplier's customer service desk. The in-house research team works specifically on LED light source design, heat dissipation management and light efficiency optimisation — the three areas where outdoor lighting most often degrades early.
The same discipline applies to customized orders. An OEM/ODM customization with a different battery capacity, pole design or control strategy runs through the same staged inspection as a standard build.

Inspection procedure
Five inspection points between component and container
- 01
Incoming material inspection
LED chips, LiFePO4 cells, photovoltaic modules, controllers, drivers, die-cast housings and steel sections are checked before release to production. Cells are matched so a pack does not age unevenly around a weak member.
- 02
In-process control
Checks run through assembly, welding, sheet-metal work and pole fabrication. Faults found on the line cost a rework; faults found after galvanizing or potting cost the component.
- 03
Ageing and functional test
Continuous charge/discharge and lighting ageing runs verify that the controller, battery and luminaire behave correctly over sustained cycling, together with the control functions specified for the order.
- 04
Ingress and environmental verification
IP65/IP66 sealing is verified on the assembled product, and the specified operating range of −40°C to 65°C is validated against the configuration supplied.
- 05
Pre-shipment inspection
Final appearance, labelling, branding placement, packaging and function checks before the consignment is released for export.
Credentials
Certification and audit status
Buyers importing lighting into municipal and highway projects are usually asked to evidence the supplier's status as well as the product's. The credentials below are the ones Mast Lighting holds and can document on request.
| Credential | What it evidences | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| TÜV Rheinland audited supplier | Independent third-party audit of the manufacturing operation | Audit report MIC-ASI264744 |
| ISO9001 quality management | A documented quality system governing production and inspection | Stated quality management standard |
| Certification document gallery | Ten certification documents displayed by the company | Available on request with an enquiry |
Product-level marks required for a specific destination market vary by country and by project. Tell us the destination and the tender requirement with your enquiry and we will confirm exactly which documentation can be supplied for that configuration — see also export markets.
In-house testing
Testing is not subcontracted
Ageing runs, functional verification of control features and ingress checks are carried out in-house on the same site where the product is built, which is what makes a mid-production correction possible at all. Photometric performance for a specific installation is verified separately through the free Dialux lighting design, so the buyer sees both the product data and the predicted result on their own road.
The scope covers everything manufactured here — solar street lights, LED street lights, high mast systems, galvanized poles, traffic structures, photovoltaic modules and LiFePO4 storage.
