Requirements o n Minimum Energy Performance Standard, Energy Efficiency Indication , and 
Inspection  for Fluorescent Lamps  (Amendment Draft)  
 
Subject : Amendment  to the Requirements on Minimum Energy Performance Standard , 
Energy Efficiency Indication , and Inspection of Fluorescent Lamps (for General Lighting 
Service)   
 
Legal Basis : Paragraph 4, Article 14 of the Energy Administration  Act 
Announcement :： 
1. The Fluorescent Lamps (for General Lighting Service)  stated in this Announcement refer to those 
meeting the definition of fluorescent lamps (for general lighting service)  in CNS 691 and 
promulgated by the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) of the Ministry of 
Economi c Affairs (MOEA) as products requiring inspections. However, this Announcement and 
the Requirements do not apply to  colored fluorescent lamps of which the rated value and the 
measured value of Color Rendering Index (CRI) are both above 95  and used for plant growing, 
insect trap ping, and sanitizer  or in semiconductor field.  
2. The testing  of Fluorescent Lamps (for General Lighting S ervice)  and the calculation thereof shall 
comply with the following requirements:  
(1). The color temperature of Fluorescent Lamps (for General Lighting S ervice)  shall be tested 
in accordance with CNS 691. The measured value shall be rounded off to integer . 
(2). The luminous efficacy of Fluorescent Lamps (for General Lighting S ervice)  shall be tested 
in accordance with CNS 691. The measure d value  shall be rounded off to the first decimal 
place.  The rated and measured value shall not be lower 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 
Fluorescent Lamps (for General Lighting S ervice) . 
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 efficiency 
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 Central Competent Authority . 
For products fail to meet  the requirements in  Item 2 in the testing under 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 th e 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 en ergy efficiency requirements  completely in the re -testing , Article s 21 and 
24 of the Energy Administration Act  shall apply .

Notes 
1. The definition of t ypes and classifications in Table 1 shall follow the definition  of CNS 691. 
The T5 Fluorescent Lamps in the above Table shall refer to  the one of T15 glass tube type that 
complies with CNS 691 . 
2. If the lamp classification of products is able to fit between two types, it shall be  subject to the 
higher requirements of luminous efficacy of the nearest two types.  If the numerical value of 
products exceed s the largest value numerical of type, it  shall be subject to the highest luminous 
efficacy of same types.  In any other event where the lamp classification of products is unfit for 
Table  1, it shall be  subject to the classification of same type, same size and similar power (W).
