For the purpose of this document, the following ter ms and definitions shall apply.  
2.1 General  
General Lighting : the full or partial illumination of an area, by replacing or complementing natural 
light with artificial light in order to enhance visibility in that a rea. 
 
Homogeneous materials : means one material of uniform composition throughout, or a  
material consisting of a combination of materials that cannot be disjointed or separated into 
different materials by mechanical actions such as unscrewing, cutting, cru shing, grinding and 
abrasive processes.  
 
Manufacturer : means the natural or legal person who manufactures products covered by this 
regulation and is responsible for their conformity with this regulation in view of their being placed 
on the market and/or pu t into service under the manufacturer’s own name or trademark or for 
the manufacturer’s own use. In the absence of a manufacturer as defined in the first sentence of 
this point or of an importer, any natural or legal person who places on the market and/or puts 
into service products covered by this regulation shall be considered a manufacturer.  
 
Product : an equipment, system or part which is included in the list of regulated products  
under this regulation . 
 
 
2.2 Technical  
Tungsten halogen lamp: means a filament lamp in which the filament is made of tungsten and 
is surrounded by gas containing halogens or halogen compounds. They may be supplied with 
an integrated power supply.  
 
Ballast : means lamp control gear inserted betwe en the s upply and one or more discharge 
lamps which by means of inductance, capacitance or a combination of inductance and 
capacitance, serves mainly to limit the current of the lamp(s) to the required value.  
 
Beam angle : means the angle between two imagin ary lines  in a plane through the optical beam 
axis, such that these lines pass through the center of the front face of the lamp and through 
points at which the luminous intensity is 50 % of the center beam intensity, where the center 
beam intensity is the value of luminous intensity measured on the optical beam axis.  
 
Chromaticity : means the property of a color stimulus defined by its chromaticity  
coordinates, or by its dominant or complementary wavelength and purity taken together.  
 
Color consistency: mean s the maximum deviation of chromaticity coordinates (x and y) of a 
single lamp from a chromaticity center point (cx and cy), expressed as the size (in steps) of the 
MacAdam ellipse formed around the chromaticity center point (cx and cy). MacAdam ellipses 6 
 refer to the regions (in the form of an ellipse) on a chromaticity diagram which contain all colors 
that are indistinguishable to the average human eye from the color at the center of the ellipse.  
 
Color rendering (Ra) : means the effect of an illuminant on the color appearance of objects  
by conscious or subconscious comparison with their color appearance under a reference  
illuminant.  
Compact fluorescent lamp with integrated ballast (CFLi) : means a fluorescent lamp that  
includes all components necessary for s tarting and stable operation of the lamp.  
 
Components and sub -assemblies : means parts intended to be incorporated into products  
which  are not placed on the market and/or put into service as individual parts for end - users  
or the environmental performance of which cannot be assessed independently.  
 
Control device : means an electronic or mechanical device controlling or monitoring the  
luminous flux of the lamp by other means than power conversion for the lamp, such as timer  
switches, occupancy sensors and daylight standard devices. In addition, phase cut dimmers  
shall also be considered as control devices.  
 
Correction factor : any mathematical adjustment made to a calculation to account for  
deviations in either the sample or the method of measurement. Specifically for this regulation , 
the correction is needed to be able  to apply one fo rmula for different lamp types. The efficacy 
(lumens per watt) of a certain lamp type can be described by a certain formula.  There are 
however systematic differences that require a correction. As an example, some  customers have 
a strong pre ference for lamps with an outer bulb as these resemble covered  incandescent 
lamps best. Such lamps are made with an additional outer bulb which is  placed over the light 
generating part. The shape of the efficacy curve is not changed by this  outer bulb, but  because 
it absorbs part of the emitted light, the formula needs to be corrected  for the additional light loss.  
 
Correlated color temperature (Tc [K]) : a specification of the color appearance of the light  
emitted by a lamp, relating its color to the color of light from  a reference source when heated to 
a particular temperature, measured in degrees Kelvin (K). More specifically, it is the absolute 
temperature of a blackbody whose chromaticity most nearly resembles that of the  light source. 
A black body is an  idealized physical body that absorbs all incident  electromagnetic radiation, 
regardless of frequency or angle of incidence.  
 
Direct Lamp : a lamp having at least 80% light output within a solid angle of π sr corresponding 
to a cone with an angle of 120˚.

Incandescent lamp : means a filament lamp in which the filament operates in an evacuated  
bulb or is surrounded by inert gas.  
 
Initial luminous flux : means the luminous flux of a lamp  after a short operating period 
according to the applicable standard.  
 
Lamp : means a unit emitting light, whose performance can be assessed independently, and  
which consists of one or more light sources. It may include additional components necessary  
for starting, power supply or stable operation of the unit or  for distributing, filtering or 
transforming the optical radiation, in cases where those components cannot be removed  
without permanently damaging the unit.

means of a lamp holder or lamp connector and may also serve to retain the lamp in the lamp  
holder.  
 
Lamp control gear : means a device located between the electrical supply and one or more  
lamps, which provides a functionality related to the op eration of th e lamp(s), such as 
transforming the supply voltage, limiting the current of the lamp(s) to the required value,

their use and the moment when only 50% of the total number of lamps survive or when the  
average lumen maintenance of the batch fa lls below 70%, whichever occurs first. For all  
other lamps, lamp lifetime means the period of operating time after which the fraction of the  
total number of lamps which continue to operate corresponds to the lamp survival factor of  
the lamp under defined c onditions and switching frequency.  
 
Lamp lumen maintenance factor (LLMF) : means the ratio of the luminous flux emitted by  
the lamp at a given time in its life to the initial luminous flux.

𝐸𝐸𝐼=Pcor
Pref 
 
𝐏𝐜𝐨𝐫 is defined as:  
 
For models without external control gear, 𝑃𝑐𝑜𝑟 is the rated power ( 𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑). 
 
For models with external control gear, 𝑃𝑐𝑜𝑟 is the rated power ( 𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑) corrected in  
accordance with the corrections factors listed below:  
 
Lamps operating on external halogen lamp control gear:  
Power corrected for control gear loss es (𝑃𝑐𝑜𝑟) = 𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑  × 1.06  
 
Lamps operating on external LED lamp control gear:  
Power corrected for control gear losses ( 𝑃𝑐𝑜𝑟) = 𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑  × 1.10  
 
The rated power 𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑  of the lamps is measured at their nominal input voltage.  
 
𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒇  is defined as:  
 
𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑓 is the reference power obtained from the useful luminous flux of the model ( 𝛷𝑢𝑠𝑒) by the

Measurement of mercury content for CFLi:  
 
The applicant shall provide a test report stating that the mercury content has been measured  
using the method described below. The report shall state the average mercury content,  
calculated by analyzing ten lamps, and then deleting the highest and lowest values before  
calculating the arithmetic mean of the remaining eight values.  
 
The test method for the mercury content is as follows. The arc tube is first separated from its  
plastic surrounds and associated e lectronics. The associated lead wires are cut as close to  the 
glass seal as possible. The arc tube is taken to a fume cupboard and is cut into  segments. The 
segments are placed in a suitably sized robust screw -capped plastic bottle to  which is added a 1 
inch diameter porcelain ball and 25 ml of high purity concentrated nitric  acid (70 %). The bottle 
is sealed and shaken for a few minutes to reduce the arc tube to fine  particle size;  the stopper is 
periodically loosened to eliminate any possibility of pressu re build -up. The contents of the bottle 
are allowed to react for 30 minutes during which time the  contents are periodically agitated. The 
contents of the bottle are then filtered through an acid  resistant filter paper and collected in a 
100 ml graduated volumetric flask. Potassium  dichromate is then added to the flask so th at the 
final concentration is 1, 000 ppm with  respect to chromium. The flask is then made up to volume 
with pure water. Matched  standards are made up on a concentration range u p to 200 ppm 
mercury. The solutions are  analyzed using flame atomic absorption at a wavelength of 253,7 nm 
with background  correction on. From the results obtained and knowledge of the solution volume, 37 
 the original  mercury content of the light bulb can be computed. The competent body may agree  
adaptations to the details of this test method if they are necessary for technical reasons, and  
these shall be applied in a consistent manner.  
As alternative methods, measurements according to IEC 62554 "Sample prepar ation for  
measurement of mercury level in fluorescent lamps" and/or IEC 62321 "Determination of  
certain substances in electrotechnical products" series are accepted.  
J-2 – Enforcer additional testing methodologies  
 
The enforcer may draw a sample of batch o f a minimum of twenty lamps of the same model
