supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the Eu ropean Parliament and of the Council 
with regard to energy labelling of electrical lamps and luminaires 
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,  Having regard to Directive 2010/30/EU of 19 Ma y 2010 of the European Parliament and of 
the Council on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the 
consumption of energy and other re sources by energy-related products
1, and in particular 
Article 10 thereof, 
Whereas: (1) Directive 2010/30/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the 
labelling of energy-related pr oducts having significant potent ial for energy savings and 
a wide disparity in performance leve ls with equivalent functionality. 
(2) Provisions on the energy labelling of household lamps were established by 
Commission Directive 98/11/EC.
2  
(3) The electricity used by el ectrical lamps accounts for a significant share of total 
electricity demand in the Union. In additi on to the energy efficiency improvements 
already achieved, the scope for further reduc ing the energy consumption of electrical 
lamps is substantial. 
(4) Commission Directive 98/11/EC should be repealed and new provisions should be set 
out in this Regulation in or der to ensure that  the energy label provides dynamic 
incentives for suppliers further to improve the energy efficiency of electrical lamps 
and to speed up the market shift towards energy-efficien t technologies. The scope of 
Directive 98/11/EC is limited to certain te chnologies within the category of household 
lamps. In order to use the label to impr ove the energy efficiency of other lamp 
technologies, including in pr ofessional lighting, this Re gulation should also cover 
directional lamps, light-emitting diodes, and lamps used predominantly in professional lighting, such as high-intensity discharge lamps.

2 OJ L 71, 10.3.1998, p. 1.  
EN 2   EN (5) Luminaires are often sold with incorporated  or accompanying lamps to end-users. This 
Regulation should ensure that consumers are informed about the compatibility of the luminaire with energy-saving lamps and a bout the energy efficiency of the lamps 
included with the luminaire, without impos ing disproportionate administrative burden 
on luminaire manufacturers and retailers, and without  discriminating between 
luminaires as to the presence of energy efficiency information for consumers. 
(6) The information provided on the label should  be obtained through reliable, accurate 
and reproducible measurement procedures, which take into acc ount the recognised 
state-of-the-art measurement methods including, where available, harmonised 
standards adopted by the European standardis ation bodies, as listed in Annex I to 
Directive 98/34/EC.
3 
(7) This Regulation should specify  a uniform design and content for the label for electrical 
lamps and luminaires. 
(8) In addition, this Regulation should specify requirements for the technical 
documentation of electrical lamps and luminaires  and for the fiche of  electrical lamps. 
(9) Moreover, this Regulation should specify requirements for the information to be 
provided for any form of distance selling, advertisements and technical promotional 
materials for electrical lamps and luminaires. 
(10) It is appropriate to provide for a review of  the provisions of this Regulation taking into 
account technological progress. 
(11) In order to facilitate the transition fr om Directive 98/11/EC to this Regulation, 
household lamps labelled in accordance with this Regulation should be considered 
compliant with Directive 98/11/EC. 
(12) Directive 98/11/EC should  therefore be repealed,

Verification procedure for ma rket surveillance purposes  
When performing the market surveillance checks , the market surveillance authorities shall 
provide the information of the testing results to other Member States and to the Commission. 
Member States' authorities shall use reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement 
procedures, which take into acc ount the generally  recognised state-of-the-art measurement 
methods, including methods set out in documen ts whose reference numbers have been 
published for that purpose in the Offici al Journal of the European Union. 
1. VERIFICATION PROCEDURE FO R ELECTRICAL LAMPS AND LED  MODULES 
MARKETED AS INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS  
For the purposes of checking conf ormity with the requirements laid down in Articles 3 and 4, 
Member States' authorities shall test a sample batch of a minimum of twenty lamps of the same 
model from the same manufacturer, where po ssible obtained in equa l proportion from four 
randomly selected sources. 
The model shall be considered to comply with the requirements laid down in Articles 3 and 4 
if the average results of the batch do not vary from the limit, threshold or declared values by 
more than 10%. 
Otherwise, the model shall be considered not to  comply with the requirements laid down in 
Articles 3 and 4.  
The tolerances for variation indicated above re late only to the verification of the measured 
parameters by the Member States' authorities and shall not be used by the supplier as an 
allowed tolerance on the values in the technical documentation to achieve a more efficient energy class. 
The declared values shall not be more favourable  for the supplier than the values reported in 
the technical documentation.  
2. V
ERIFICATION PROCEDURE FOR LUMINAIRES INTENDED TO BE MARKETED OR 
MARKETED TO THE END -USER  
The luminaire shall be considered to comply with the requirements laid down in Article 3 and 
4 if it is accompanied by the required product information, and if it is found to be compatible 
with any lamps with which it is  claimed to be compatible acco rding to points 2.2.IV(a) and (b) 
of Annex I, applying state-of-t he-art methods and criteria for assessing compatibility, 
including those set out in documents whose re ference numbers have been published for that 
purpose in the Official Journa l of the European Union.

Energy efficiency classes  
The energy efficiency class of lamps shall be determined on the basis of their energy 
efficiency index ( EEI) as set out in Table 1. 
The energy efficiency index ( EEI) of lamps shall be determined in accordance with Annex 
VII.

Method for calculating the energy effi ciency index and energy consumption  
1. CALCULATION OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDEX  
For the calculation of the energy efficiency index ( EEI) of a model, its power corrected for 
any control gear losses is compared with its reference power. The reference power is obtained 
from the useful luminous flux, which is the tota l flux for non-directional  lamps, and the flux 
in a 90° or 120° cone for dire ctional general lighting lamps. 
The energy efficiency index (EE I) is calculated as follows and rounded to two decimal places: 
EEI = P cor / P ref 
where: P
cor is the rated power (P rated) for models without external c ontrol gear and the rated power 
(Prated) corrected in accordance with Table 2 for models with external control gear. The rated 
power of the lamps is measured at their nominal input voltage.

Lamps operating on external low 
pressure sodium lamp control gear Prated x 1.15 
Pref is the reference power obtained from th e useful luminous flux of the model ( Φuse) by the 
following formulae: 
For models with Φuse < 1300 lumen : P ref = 0.88√Φ use+0.049Φuse  
EN 29   EN For models with Φuse ≥ 1300 lumen : P ref = 0.07341 Φuse  
The useful luminous flux ( Φuse) is defined in accordance with Table 3.

beam angle ≥ 90° and carrying a textual or graphical 
warning on their packaging that they are not suitable for accent lighting Rated luminous flux in a 120° cone

Other directional lamps Rated luminous flux in a 90° cone 
(Φ90°) 
2. CALCULATION OF THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION  
The weighted energy consumption ( Ec) is calculated in kWh/1000h as follows and is rounded 
to two decimal places: 
Ec = 1000  Pcor h 1000 × 
Where P cor is the power corrected for any control gear  losses in accordance with part 1 above.
