ANNEXES  
to the  
Commission Delegated Regulation  
supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council with regard to energy labelling of light sources  
 
and repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012    
EN 1  EN ANNEX I  
Definitions  applicable for the Annexes   
The following definitions shall apply for the purposes of the Annexes:  
(1) ‘mains light source (MLS)’ means a light source that can be operated directly on the 
mains electricity supply. Light sources that operate directly on the mains, and can 
also operate indirectly on the mains using a separate control gear, shall be considered  
to be mains light sources ; 
(2) ‘non-mains light source (NMLS)’, means a light source that is not a mains light 
source. These light sources require a separate control gear to operate on the mains ; 
(3) ‘separate control gear’, means a control gear that is not physi cally integrated with a 
light source and is placed on the market as a separate product or as  part of a 
containing product ; 
(4) ‘directional light source’ (DLS) means a light source having at least 80% of total 
luminous flux within a solid angle of π sr (corresponding to a cone with angle of 
120°) ; 
(5) ‘non-directional light source’ (NDLS) means a light source that is not a dire ctional 
light source;  
(6) ‘connected light source’ (CLS) means a light source including data -connection parts 
that are physically or functionally inseparable from the light emitting parts to 
maintain the ‘reference control settings ’. The light source can have physically 
integrated data -connection parts in a single inseparable housing, or the light source 
can be combined with physically separate data -connection parts placed on the market 
together with the light source as a s ingle product;  
(7) ‘data -connection parts’ means parts that perform any one of the following functions:  
(a) reception or transmission of wired or wireless data signals and the  processing 
thereof (used to control the light emission function and possibly  otherwise) ; 
(b) sensing and processing of the sensed signals (used to control the light emission 
function and possibly  otherwise) ; 
(c) actuation by audio co ntrol (including voice control ); 
(d) a combination of these;  
(8) ‘colour -tuneable light source’ (CTLS) means a light source that can be set to emit 
light with a large variation of colours outside the range defined in Article  2 but can 
also be set to emit white light inside the range defined in  Article  2 for which the light 
source is within the scope of this Regulation . 
The term does not include tuneable -white light sources that can only be set to emit 
light, with different correlated colour temperature s, within the range defined in 
Article  2.  
The term also does not include dim -to-warm light sources, that shift their white light 
output to lower correlated colour temperature when dimmed, simulating the 
behaviour of incandescent light sources ; 
(9) ‘colour purity index’  means  a percentage computed for a CTLS set to emit light of a 
certain colour, using a procedure further defined in standards, by d rawing a straight 
line on an (x and y) colour space graph from a point with colour coordinates x=0.313 
and y=0.330 (D65 reference point, point 1), going throu gh the point representing the  
EN 2  EN (x and y) colour coordinates of the light source (point 2), and ending on the outer 
border of the colour space (locus; point 3). The colour purity index is computed as 
the distance between points 1 and 2 divided by the distanc e between points 1 and 3. 
The full length of the line represents 100% colour purity (point on the locus). The 
D65 reference point represents 0  % colour purity (white light) ; 
(10) ‘lighting control parts ’ means parts that are i ntegrated in a light source , or phy sically 
separated but marketed together with a light source as a single product, that are not 
strictly necessary for the light sou rce to emit light at full -load, but that enable 
manual - or automatic -, direct - or remote -, control of luminous intensity, 
chromaticity, correlated colour temperature, light spectrum and/or beam angle. 
Dimmers shall also be considered as lighting control parts.

within the scope of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1275/20081; 
(11) ‘non-lighting parts ’ means parts that a re integrated in a light source , or physically 
separate d but marketed together with a light source as a single product, that are not 
necessary for the ligh t source to emit light at f ull-load, and that are not ‘lighting 
control parts’. Examples include, but are not limited to: speakers (audio), cameras, 
repeaters for communication signals to extend the range (e.g. WiFi), parts supporting 
grid balance (switchi ng to own internal batteries when necessary), battery charging, 
visual notification of events (mail arriving, door bell ringing, alert), use of Light 
Fidelity (Li -Fi, a bidirectional, high -speed and fully networked wireless 
communication technology) ; 
(12) ‘usef ul luminous flux ’ (Φuse), means the part of the luminous flux of a light source 
that is considered when determining its energy efficiency:  
– for non -directional light sources it is the total flux emitted in a solid angle of 4π 
sr (corresponding to a 360˚ sph ere); 
– for directional light sources with beam angle ≥  90° it is the flux emitted in a 
solid angle of π sr (correspondin g to a cone with angle of 120°);  
– for directional light sources with beam angle <  90° it is the flux emitted in a 
solid angle of 0.586π sr  (correspondi ng to a cone with angle of 90°);  
(13) ‘beam angle’ of a directional light source means the angle between two imaginary 
lines in a plane through the optical beam axis, such that these lines pass through the 
centre of the front face of the light sour ce and through points at whi ch the luminous 
intensity is 50  % of the centre beam intensity, where the centre beam intensity is the 
value of luminous intensity me asured on the optical beam axis.  
For light sources that have different beam angles in different  planes, the largest beam 
angle shall be the one taken into account;  
For light sources with user -controllable beam angle, the beam angle corresponding to 
the ‘reference control setting’ shall be the one taken into account;  
(14) ‘full-load’ means  the condition o f a light source, within the declared operating 
conditions, in which it emits the maximum (undimmed) initial luminous flux ; 
(15) ‘standby mode’ means the condition of a light source, where it is connected to the 
power supply but the light sources are intentiona lly not emitting light, and the light 
                                                 
1 OJ L 339, 18.12.2008, p. 45.   
EN 3  EN source is awaiting a control signal (from a source different from a network) to return 
to a state with light emission. Lighting control parts enabling the standby function 
shall be in their control mode. Non -lighting p arts shall be disconnected or switched 
off or their power consumption shall be minimi sed following manufacturer’s 
instructions ; 
(16) ‘networked standby mode’ means the condition of a connected light source (CLS) 
where it is connected to the power supply but the  light source is intentionally not 
emitting light  and is awaiting a remotely initiated trigger to return to a state with light 
emission. Lighting control parts shall be in their control mode. Non -lighting parts 
shall be disconnected or switched off or thei r power consumption shall be minimi sed 
following manufacturer’s instructions ; 
(17) ‘control mode ’ means the condition of lighting control parts where they are 
connected to the light source and performing their functions in such a way that a 
control signal can be internally generated or a remotely initiated trigger can be 
received, by wire or wireless, and processed to lead to a change in the lig ht emission 
of the light source ; 
(18) ‘remotely initiat ed trigger’ means a signal that comes from outside the light source 
via a network ; 
(19) ‘control signal’ means an analogue or digital signal transmitted to the light source 
wirelessly or wired either via voltage modulation in separate control cables or via a 
modulated signal in the supply voltage. The signal transmission is not through a

archite cture, including the physical components, organisational principles, 
communication pro cedures and formats (protocols);  
(21) ‘on-mode power ’ (Pon), expressed in Watt, means  the electric power consumption of 
a light source in full -load with all lighting control p arts and non -lighting parts 
disconnected. If these parts cannot be disconnected , they shall be switched off or 
their power consumption shall be minimised following the manufacturer’s 
instructions . In case of a non -mains light source (NMLS) that requires a separate 
control gear to operate, P on can be measured directly on the input to the light source, 
or P on is determined using a control gear with known efficiency, whose electric 
power consumption is subsequently subtracted from the measured mains power inpu t 
value ; 
(22) ‘standby power ’ (Psb), expressed in Watt, is the electric power consumption of a light 
source in standby mode ;

Regulation. These settings are relevant for light sources that allow the end -user to  
control, manually or automatically, directly or remotely, the luminous intensity, 
colour, correlated colour temperature, spectrum, and/or beam angle of the emitted 
light.   
EN 4  EN In principle, the reference control settings shall be those predefined by the 
manufa cturer as factory default values, and encountered by the user at first 
installation (out -of-the-box values). If the installation procedure provides for  an 
automatic software update during first installation, or if the user has the option to 
perform such an  update, the resulting change in settings (if any) shall be taken into 
account.  
If the out -of-the-box value is deliberately set differently from the reference control 
setting (e.g. at low power for safety purposes), the manufacturer shall indicate in the 
technical documentation how to recall the reference control settings for compliance 
verification.  
The light source manufacturer shall define the reference control settings such that:  
– the light source is within the scope of th is Regulation according to Art icle 1 
and none of the conditions for exemption applies;  
– lighting control parts and non -lighting parts  are disconnected or switched -off, 
or, in case this is not possible, the power consumption of these parts  is 
minimal ; 
– the full-load condition is obtained ; 
– when the end -user opts to reset factory defaults, the reference control settings 
are obtained.  
For light sources that allow the manufacturer of a containing product to make 
implementation choices that influence light source characteristics (e.g. definition of 
the operating current(s); thermal design), and that cannot be controlled by the end -
user, the reference control settings need not be defined. In that case the nominal test 
conditions as defined by the light source manufacturer apply ; 
(25) ‘high -pressure merc ury light source’ means a high intensity discharge light source in

indirectly to the mains electricity supply ; 
(33) ‘second envelope’ means a second outer envelope on a HID light source that is not 
required for the production of light, such as an external sleeve for preventing

an envelope ; 
(34) ‘non-clear envelope’ for a HID light source means a non -transparent outer envelope 
or outer tube in which the light producing arc tube is not visible ; 
(35) ‘anti-glare shield’ means a mechanical or optical reflective or non -reflective

(disability glare) if viewed directly by an observer. It does not include surface 
coating of the light emitter in the directional light source;  
(36) ‘flicker ’ means the perception of visual unsteadiness induced by a light stimulus , the 
luminanc e or spectral distribution of which fluctuates with time, for a static observer 
in a static environment. The fluctuations can be periodic and non -periodic and may 
be induced by the light source itself, the power source or other influencing factors.  
The met ric for flicker used in this Regulation is the parameter ‘Pst LM’, where ‘st’ 
stands for short term and ‘LM’ for light flickermeter method, as defined in standards.

stimulus at the same brightness and under specified viewing conditions ;  
EN 6  EN (42) ‘colour consistency’ means the ma ximum deviation of the initial (after a short period 
of time), spatially averaged chromaticity coordinates (x and y) of a single light 
source from the chromaticity centre point (cx and cy) declared by the manufacturer 
or the importer, expressed as the size  (in steps) of the MacAdam ellipse formed 
around the chromaticity centre point (cx and cy) ; 
(43) ‘displacement factor (cos  φ1)’ means the cosine of the phase angle φ1 between the 
fundamental harmonic of the mains supply voltage and the fundamental harmonic of 
the mains current. It is used for mains light sources using LED - or OLED -
technology . The displacement factor is measured at full -load, for the reference 
control settings where applicable, with any lighting control parts in control mode and 
non-lighting part s disconnected, switched off or set to minimum power consumption 
according to the manufacturer’s instructions ;

This is also referred to as the L 70B50 lifetime ; 
(47) ‘equivalent model ’ means a model with the same relevant technical and performance 
characteristics as another model placed on the market under a different commercial 
code ; 
(48) ‘projected light -emitting surface area (A)’ is the surface area in mm² (square

from the direction with the highest light intensity, where the light -emitting surface 
area is the surface area of the light source that emits light with the declared optical 
characteristics, such as the  approximately spherical surface of an arc (a), cylindrical 
surface of a filament coil (b) or a gas discharge lamp (c, d), flat or semi -spherical 
envelope of a light -emitting diode (e) . 
For light sources with a non -clear envelope or with anti -glare shield,  the light -
emitting surface area is the entire area through which light leaves the light source.  
For light sources containing more than one light emitter, the projection of the 
smallest gross volume enveloping all emitters shall be taken as the light -emitt ing 
surface.  
For HID light sources definition (a) applies, unless the dimensions defined in (d)

Energy efficiency classes  and calculation method  
The energy efficiency class of light sources shall be determined on the basis of the  efficacy 
values expressed in total mains efficacy  which is defined as the total initial luminous flux (in 
lm) divided by mains power input (in W) — (lm/W) — as set out in Table  1. 
Table 1: Energy efficiency classes of light sources  
Energy efficiency class Total mains efficacy TM (lm /W)  
A (most efficient)  210 ≤ TM 
B 185 ≤ TM < 210  
C 160 ≤ TM < 185  
D 135 ≤ TM < 160  
E 110 ≤ TM < 135  
F 85 ≤ TM < 110  
G (least efficient)  TM < 85 
The total mains efficacy  is calculated by dividing the declared useful luminous flux Φuse 
(expressed in lm) by the declared on -mode power consumption P on (expressed in W) and 
multiplying by the applicable factor F TM of Table  2, i.e.:  
Total mains efficacy = (Φuse / Pon) * F TM (lm/W).

and 2(b) of this Annex . 
The Member State authorities shall verify 10 units of the light source model , 
supplied from at least two di fferent sources,  for point  2(c) of this Annex . If the 
acquisition costs  for the 10 units exceed 500 euros, the authorities of the Member 
State may reduce the sample size to 3 units.  The verification tole rances are laid down 
in Table  6 of this Annex.  
2. The mo del shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:  
(a) the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to Article  3.3 of 
Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 (declared values), and, where applicable, the 
values used to calculate these values,  are not more favourable for the supplier 
than the corresponding values given in the test reports; and  
(b) the values published on the label and in the product information sheet are not 
more favourable for the supplier than the declared values, and the indicated 
energy efficiency class is not more favourable for the supplier than the class 
determined by the declared values; and  
(c) when the authorities of the Member State test the units of the model, the 
determined values comply with the respective verificat ion tolerances as given 
in Table  6 of this Annex , where ‘determined value’ means the arithmetical 
mean over the tested units of the measured values for a given parameter or the 
arithmetical mean of parameter values calculated from other measured values . 
3. If the results referred to in point  2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model and all 
models that have been listed as equivalent models in the supplier ’s technical 
documentation shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.  
4. If the result referred to in point  2(c) is not achieved, the model and all models that 
have been listed as equivalent models in the supplier's  technical documentation shall 
be considered not to comply with this  Regulation.  
5. The authorities of the Member State shall provide all relevant information to the 
authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay after a 
decision is taken on the non -compliance of the model in accord ance with  points  3

insert here the number  of the accompanying ecodesign 
regulation for light sources and separate control  gears  
(review) ] 
10 At least 9 light sources of the test sample must be operational 
after completing the endurance test in Annex V  of Regulation  
[OP – please insert here the number  of the accompanying 
ecodesign regulation for light sources and separate control  
gears  (review)] . 
Lumen maintenance factor (for FL 
and HID)  3 The determined value shall not be less than 90% of the 
declared value . 
10 The determined value shall not be less than 90  % of the 
declared value . 
Survival factor (for FL and HID)  3 The determined value shall not be less than the declared value . 
10 The determined value shall not be less than the declared value . 
Colour purity index [%]  3 The determined value shall not be less than the declared value 
minus 10  %. 
10 The determined value shall not be less than the declared value 
minus 5  %. 
 
Correlated colour temperature [K]  3 The determined value shall not deviate from the declared 
value by more than 10  %. 
10 The determined value shall not deviate from the declared 
value by more than 5  %. 
Luminous peak intensity [cd]  3 The determined value shall not deviate from the declared 
value by more than 25  %. 
10 The determined value shall not deviate from the declared 
value by more than 25  %. 
For light sources with linear geometry which are scalable but of very long length, such as 
LED strips or strings, verification testing of market surveillance authorities shall consider a 
length of 50  cm, or, if the light source is not scalable there, the nearest value to 50  cm. The 
light source supplier  shall indicate which control gear is suitable for this length . 
When verifying if a product is a light  source , market surveillance authorities shall compare 
the measured values for chromaticity coordinates (x and y), luminous flux, luminous flux 
density, an d colour rendering index directly with  the limit values set out in the definition for 
light source of Article  2 of this Regulation , without applying any tolerances. If any of the 3 or 
10 units in the sample satisfies the conditions for being a light source, the product model shall 
be considered to be a light source.
