Requirements o n Minimum Energy Performance Standard, Energy Efficiency Indication , and 
Inspection for Compact Fluorescent Lamps  (Amendment  Draft)  
 
Subject : Amendment to  the Requirements on Minimum Energy Performance Standard , 
Energy Efficiency Indication , and Inspection of  Compact Fluorescent Lamps  
 
Legal Basis : Paragraph 4, Article 14 of the Energy Administration  Act 
Announcement :： 
1. The Compact Fluorescent Lamps  stated in this Announcement refer to those meeting the 
definition of compact fluorescent lamps  in CNS 14576  and promulgated by the Bureau of 
Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) as 
products requiring inspec tions. However, this Announcement and t he Requirements do not apply 
to colored compact fluorescent lamps used for plant growing, insect trap ping, and sanitizer  or in 
semiconductor field.  
2. The testing  of Compact Fluorescent Lamps  and the calculation thereof shall comply with the 
following requirements:  
The luminous efficacy of Compact Fluorescent Lamps  shall be tested in accordance with CNS 
14576 . The measured  value  shall be rounded off to the first decimal place.  The rated and 
measured value shall not be low er than the value specified in Table 1. The measured value shall 
be greater than  or equal to  95% of the rated  value of products.  
3. The rated  luminous efficacy shall be mark ed on  each individual unit  or the smallest package s of 
Compact Fluorescent Lamps . 
4. The Central Competent Authority may conduct annual product sampling in accordance with the 
Guidelines for Energy Efficiency Labeling Inspection and Energy Efficiency Sampling of 
Designated Energy Using Equipment and Devices while conducting the energy effi ciency 
inspection. The model and  the quantity of  the testing sample s shall be designated by the Central 
Competent Authority, and the manufacturers shall deliver  product samples to the designated 
testing laboratories within the period  designated  by the Cent ral Competent Authority . 
For products fail to meet  the requirements in  Item 2 in the testing of the preceding paragraph , the 
Central Competent Authority shall request the related manufacturers to re -submit the samples for 
re-testing. The quantity of the re-tested samples shall be twice  the sampling quantity of the 
products of the same model  under the preceding paragraph . All the incurred cost s associated with 
the re -testing shall be borne by the manufacturers.  
If manufacture r fails to  conduct  the sampling  or the  re-testing  per the preceding two paragraphs,  
or fails to  meet the energy efficiency requirements  completely in the re -testing , Article s 21 and 
24 of the Energy Administration Act  shall apply .

Notes 
1. The color of Compact Fluorescent Lamps  shall comply with CNS 10839 : Daylight color: 
5700~7100K , light bulb color: 2600~3150K  
2. MEPS for products with color tempera ture falls between 3200~5400K are  the same standards as 
products with CCT 2600 -3150K . 
3. For products without the rated power input spec ified in Table 1,  MEPS of the nearest 
classification group  shall apply . 
4. If a corresponding ballast is not specified in CNS 14576 Table 3 when testing the luminous 
efficacy, such products may be tested with other suitable ballasts.
