TÍTULO: Programa de ahorro de energía - Ensayos de diodos luminiscentes integrados ORGANISMO: Oficina de Eficiencia Energética y Energía Renovable del Departamento de Energía 
MEDIDA: Aviso complementario de un proyecto de reglamentación 
RESUMEN: El Departamento de Energía de los Esta dos Unidos (DOE) publicó el 9 de abril de 2012 
una propuesta de reglamentación (NOPR) para un nuevo protocolo de ensayos para diodos 
luminiscentes (en adelante, lámparas LED). En el aviso complementario de un proyecto de 
reglamentación (SNOPR) notificado se revisa esa propuesta del DOE. Se prevé la aplicación de las disposiciones de etiquetado de la Comisión Federal de Comercio (FTC) y de las normas de ahorro 
de energía del DOE para lámparas de uso general, incluidas las lámparas LED. Se determinan los 
métodos para medir la potencia lumínica, la potencia de entrada y la distribución espectral relativa (para determinar la temperatura del color correla cionada -CCT-). Además, en el SNOPR notificado 
se revisa el método de cálculo de la vida de las lámparas LED y se da una definición: la vida de la 
lámpara es el tiempo que transcurre hasta que el color de salida de la lámpara LED se reduce al 
70% del valor inicial. También se establecen cálculos de eficacia de las lámparas y del índice de reproducción del color (CRI) para las lámparas LED, que no figuraban en los ensayos descritos en 
el NOPR. 
FECHAS: El DOE aceptará observaciones, datos e información relativos al aviso SNOPR hasta el 4 
de agosto de 2014 inclusive. Sírvase consultar los detalles en la sección IV " Public participation ".

NOTIFICATION  
Addendum 
 The following communication, dated 22 January 2013, is being circulated at the request of 
the delegation of European Union.  
 
_______________ 
 
 
The European Union would like to inform the WTO Members that Commission Decision 
2006/502/EC of 11 May 2006, requiring Member States to take measures to ensure that only 
lighters which are child-resistant are placed on the market and to prohibit the placing on the 
market of novelty lighters, needs to be prolonged for the seventh time.   
 Commission Decision 2006/502/EC (notified under references G/TBT/N/EEC/89 and 
G/TBT/N/EEC/89/Add.1) was published in the Offi cial Journal of the EU L 198 of 20 July 2006, 
p. 41, and is also available at:  
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOHtml.do?uri=OJ:L:2006:198:SOM:EN:HTML  
 
 Commission Decision 2006/502/EC requires Member States to take measures to ensure that only lighters which are child-resistant are placed on the market and to prohibit the placing on the 
market of novelty lighters.  The Decision was established within Article 13 of Directive 2001/95/EC 
on General Product Safety (GPSD) and was valid for a period of 12 months.   
 Commission Decision 2006/502/EC was prolonged for the sixth time by Commission Decision 
2012/53/EU which was notified at a draft stage under G/TBT/N/EEC/89/Add.7. The adopted text 
was published in the Official Journal of the EU L 27 of 31 January 2012, p. 24, and is also available 
at:  http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUri Serv.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:027:0024:0024:EN:PDF  
 
This Decision is valid until 11 May 2013. 
 
 In the absence of other satisfactory measures addressing the child safety of lighters, it is 
necessary to prolong the validity of Decision 2006/ 502/EC for a further 12 months and to amend it 
accordingly. 
 
 The draft Decision for amending Decision 2006/502/EC therefore prolongs the validity of 
Decision 2006/502/EC for 12 months. 
 
The text of the draft Decision is available on the EU-TBT website http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/tbt

À sa réunion du 19 avril 2017, l'Organe de règlement des différends ("ORD") a adopté ses 
recommandations et décisions dans l'affaire Union européenne  – Mesures affectant les concessions 
tarifaires concernant certains produits à base de viande de volaille  (DS492). Mes autorités m'ont 
chargé de faire part à l'ORD des intentions de l'Union européenne au sujet de la mise en œuvre 
des recommandations et décisions de celui -ci, comme il leur incombe de le faire au titre de 
l'article  21:3 du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règles et procédures régissant le règlement des 
différends ("Mémorandum d'accord").  La Chine a  accepté que , en applica tion de  la première 
phrase de l'article 21:3 et de la note de bas de page 11 du Mémorandum d'accord,  l'Union 
européenne informe l'ORD de ses intentions par lettre plutôt que lors d'une réunion extraordinaire

L'Union européenne a  l'intention de mettre en œuvre les recommandations et décisions de l'ORD 
dans cette affaire d'une manière qui respecte les obligations qu'elle a souscrites dans le cadre de 
l'OMC . Pour ce faire, elle aura besoin d'un délai raisonnable.  Sa délégation est p rête à examiner 
cette question avec la Chine en temps utile , conformément à l'article  21:3 b) du Mémorandum 
d'accord.  
L'Union européenne vous saura  gré de bien vouloir distribuer la présente communicatio n aux 
membres de l'ORD . En même temps, l'Union europé enne a demand é à l'ORD d'ajouter un point 
distinct relatif à ce différend à l'ordre du jour de la réunion ordinaire de l'ORD qui aura lieu le 
22 mai 2017 pour confirmer à nouveau les informations concernant la mise en œuvre.
