3. In these Technical Regulatio ns the terms are used in the following meaning:   
Manufacturer – a legal entity or individual – a subject of entrepreneurial activity responsible for 
the design, production, packaging, marking, and labeling of lamps, with no regard to whether 
these operatio ns are performed by the entity and/or individual or by other entities and/or 
individuals on its behalf;  
Label – the printed information of a standard pattern (a sheet) that contains information about the 
main indicators of electrical power consumption eff iciency and lamp power consumption 
characteristics;  
Electrical power consumption efficiency grade – level of power consumption efficiency of a 
lamp that defines its power efficiency during use;   
Supplier – a legal entity or individual – a subject of entre preneurial activity that places lamps on 
the market;   
Consumer – a legal entity or individual that obtains and/or uses the lamps.   
If a lighting product can be disassembled by a consumer without any tools, then, pursuant to the 
provisions of these Technic al Regulations, a lamp means an element that emits light.   
Other terms are used in their meaning, as specified in the Law of Ukraine “On certification of 
conformity,” “On standards, technical regulations and procedures for conformity assessment,” 
resolutio n of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, dated 7 October 2003, No. 1585, “On marking 
with national mark of conformity that is used in technical regulations” (Oficiynyi Visnyk 
Ukrainy, 2003, No. 41, p. 2175; 2007, No. 1, p. 31), and national standards for specific lamp 
categories.    4. These Technical Regulations cover lamps for residential use (including those that are not used 
exclusively in households) that are powered directly by the electrical power supply grid:   
filament lamp, including halogen;   
fluorescent  lamps with embedded start -regulating device ;  
fluorescent  lamps  with double -end cap ;  
fluorescent  single -end lamps (that work with external ballast).    
5. These Technical Regulations do not cover the following lamps:   
luminous flux of which doe s not exceed 6,500 lm;   
power consumption  which is less than 4 W;   
reflector lamps;   
lamps that are designated for use with other power sources (for example, a battery);   
lamps that are not designated for predominantly visible light emission (from 400 nm  to 800 nm), 
such as ultraviolet, infrared, and color lamps;   
lamps that are placed in a device that is not designated for lighting, or in the event that they are 
supplied as a component of such device and are not offered for individual retail (for example , as 
spare parts).   
6. Central executive authorities that perform functions of technical regulation and monitoring 
shall take appropriate measures for placement of lamps on the market of Ukraine only if they 
conform with these Technical Regulations.   
7. Foreign -made lamps that are placed on the market of Ukraine shall conform with requirements 
of these Technical Regulations.   
8. Procedure for certification of conformity of declared and specified information on the label 
regarding the luminous flux, power, lamp burn duration, as well as methods of their 
measurements, are specified pursuant to State Standard of Ukraine   EN 50285 “Electric 
Lamps for Residential Use. Power Efficiency Measurement Methods.”   
Information about Electrical Power Consumption Efficiency   
9. A label shall be printed and attached on the outside of the individual packaging of a lamp. 
Nothing sha ll obscure or diminish its visibility. Label requirements are specified in Addendum 1.   
10. In the event the lamp is offered for retail through a catalog or other published announcement 
or in any other kind of remote sale, these catalogs or other publishe d announcements shall 
contain a copy of the label or information specified in item 2 of Addendum 1.   
Definition of a Grade of Electrical Power Consumption Efficiency   
11. Grade A includes the following lamps:   Fluorescent lamps without an embedded start-regulating device  (the ones that require ballast 
and/or other regulating device for connecting to power grid ), and in which   ≤ 0,15 · √ + 
0,0097 · ;  
Other lamps, in which   ≤ 0,24 · √ + 0,0103 · ,  
where   – is luminous flux of a lamp, lm;   
 – is consumption power of a  lamp, W.   
If a lamp cannot be considered to be of grade A, then the base power  (B) is calculated by the 
following formulas:   
B = 0,88 · √ + 0,049 · , when   > 34 lm;  
B = 0,2 · , when   ≤ 34 lm,  
where   – is luminous flux of a  lamp, lm.   
In such case, index  of power  consumption efficiency (1) is established:   
      
1  =  ____   
    B  
 
 
where   – is consumption  capacity  of a lamp , W.  
B – is base capacity of a lamp, W.   
Depending on the index of consumption efficiency (1), a grade of electrical power consumption 
efficiency is established:   
Grade of Electrical Power Consumption 
Efficiency  Index of Electrical Power Consumption 
Efficiency  (1), percent  
B  1 < 60  
C  60 ≤ 1 < 80  
D  80 ≤ 1 < 95   
E  95 ≤ 1 < 110   
F  110 ≤ 1 < 130   
G  1 ≥ 130

these Technical Regulations.   
During the assessment of information on a label, all conditions specified for use of lamps shall 
be considered. For lamps that can be used in several regimes a grade of electrical power consumption e fficiency shall be determined in all possible operational regimes provided by the 
manufacturer.   
The Manufacturer puts a national mark of conformity on each label in the designated space. 
Lamp conformity with requirements of these Technical Regulations sha ll be confirmed by a 
declaration of conformity, compiled by the manufacturer or its authorized representative in a 
form pursuant to Ad dendum 2.    
In order to register a Declaration of conformity, the technical documentation that was certified 
by the manuf acturer shall comply with the requirements of item 12 of these Technical 
Regulations.   
The Manufacturer or its authorized representative shall:   
keep a copy of the Declaration of conformity together with the technical documentation for no 
less th an three y ears since the last issue of the specific type of lamp, and provide them at the 
request of central executive authorities that perform functions of technical regulation and 
monitoring;   
take all necessary measures to ensure that the lamps that conform with technical documentation 
and these Technical Regulations are placed on the market.   
15. Assessment of conformity of lamps with involvement of a designated authority is conducted 
when:   
The Manufacturer or its authorized representative -resident have not app lied harmonized 
standards to the specific category of lamps that w ere specified in item 4 of these Technical 
Regulations, or applied them partially, he can use a procedure of conformity assessment with 
application of module B combined with other modules, p ursuant to the Technical Regulations of 
modules of conformity assessment and requirements for marking with a national mark of 
conformity that are used in technical regulations, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of 
Ministers of Ukraine, dated 7 Octo ber 2003, No. 1585;

performs placement of lamps on the market of Ukraine, assessment of conformity with 
requirements of these Technical Regulations can be perfo rmed with application of module B for 
each shipment of lamps. The manufacturer -non-resident places a national  mark  of conformity  on 
each lamp label in a designated space at the request of a supplier -resident, or the supplier does it 
itself.   
Upon completio n of conformity assessment of lamps, a designated authority issues the 
appropriate documentation (test protocol, etc.) to the manufacturer or its authorized 
representative or supplier.   
In the event the manufacturer or its authorized representative are non -residents, the supplier -
resident takes upon itself the responsibility regarding the keeping and provision of declarations 
of conformity and technical documentation to a central executive authority that performs 
functions of technical regulation and monito ring.  
16. The Manufacturer and its authorized representative or supplier:   shall take all necessary measures to ensure that lamps that conform with technical documentation 
and these Technical Regulations are placed on the market;   
shall provide a designat ed authority with an application, copies of declaration of conformity and 
technical documentation.   
17. Placement of lamps without a national mark of conformity on their labels on the market is 
prohibited.   
Placement  of any mark that resembles in shape the  national mark of conformity on labels is 
prohibited.   
In the event of inappropriate placement of a national mark of conformity on a lamp label, 
measures shall be taken to limit or prohibit placement of such products on the market, or recall 
them from the market pursuant to the laws of Ukraine.  
18. A decision concerning the limiting of placement of lamps on the market shall be justified. 
Information about the decision, as well as the terms for elimination of violations, shall be sent to 
the interested part y.  
  
 
 
LABEL REQUIREMENTS   
1. Label is chosen from the provided images. If the label is not printed on the packaging but is 
attached separately, a color version shall be used.  In the event a bi -color version is us ed, print 
and background can be of any color that ensures legibility of caption on the label.    Addendum 1  
to the Technical Regulations    
  
2. Information that is provided on a lamp label:   
a grade of electrical power consumption efficiency specified pursuant to item 13 or 14 of the 
Technical Regulations for labeling of lamps for residential use regarding electrical power 
consumption effi ciency. A letter corresponding to the grade of electrical power consumption 
efficiency of a lamp is located at the same level as a corresponding arrow;   
luminous flux in lumens that is measured in accordance with test methods, as specified in 
harmonized st andards for a specific lamp category;   
consumption capacity of a lamp in watts that is measured in accordance with test methods as 
specified in harmonized standards for a specific lamp category;   
average lamp burn duration in hours that is measured in acco rdance with test methods as 
specified in harmonized standards for a specific lamp category. This information does not have 
to be provided on a label if there is no other data on lamp burn duration on the packaging.   
3. If the information that is provided i n paragraphs three -five of item 2 of this Addendum is 
placed in any other space on the packaging, it may not be placed on the label or the block that 
contains it. In such event the label is chosen from the following images:    
   
4. Images provided in this item specify criteria for label printing.   
 
  
The label shall be placed at a distance of no less than 5 mm from the edge of the packaging. If 
the length of the packaging side is not enough for label placement, or if the label takes up more 
than 50 percent of the surface area of the longest side of the packaging, it may be reduced. Label 
reduction shall not exceed 40 percent (lengthwise) of its standard size. If the size of the 
packaging is s maller than that of the reduced label, then it shall be attached to the lamp or 
packaging. In  the event a standard size label is displayed with a lamp (for example, it is attached 
to a shelf where the lamp stands), the label need not be printed on the pack aging.
