of 18 March 2009

implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps, and repealing Directive 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2005 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-using products and amending Council Directive 92/42/EEC and Directives 96/57/EC and 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,

After consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum,

Whereas:

| (1) | Under Directive 2005/32/EC ecodesign requirements shall be set by the Commission for energy using products representing significant volumes of sales and trades, having significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Under Directive 2005/32/EC ecodesign requirements shall be set by the Commission for energy using products representing significant volumes of sales and trades, having significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs.

| (2) | Article 16(2) second indent of Directive 2005/32/EC provides that in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 19(3) and the criteria set out in Article 15(2), and after consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum, the Commission shall as appropriate introduce an implementing measure on tertiary sector lighting products. |

Article 16(2) second indent of Directive 2005/32/EC provides that in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 19(3) and the criteria set out in Article 15(2), and after consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum, the Commission shall as appropriate introduce an implementing measure on tertiary sector lighting products.

| (3) | The Commission has carried out two preparatory studies which analysed the technical, environmental and economic aspects of lighting products typically used in the tertiary (office lighting and public street lighting) sector. The studies have been developed together with stakeholders and interested parties from the Community and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available on the EUROPA website of the European Commission. |

The studies have been developed together with stakeholders and interested parties from the Community and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available on the EUROPA website of the European Commission.

| (4) | Mandatory ecodesign requirements apply to products placed on the market wherever they are installed, therefore such requirements cannot be made dependent on the application in which the product is used (such as office lighting or public street lighting). Therefore this Regulation should address specific products, such as fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, high intensity discharge lamps, and ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps. Indicative benchmarks can be helpful in guiding users on the best available technology for specific applications (such as office or public street lighting). |

A.   First stage requirements

One year after the entry into force of this Regulation:

for ballasts for fluorescents lamps, an energy efficiency index (EEI) class shall be provided as defined below.

‘Energy efficiency index’ (EEI) means a classification system of ballasts for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballasts in classes according to efficiency limit values. The classes for non-dimmable ballasts are (in descending order of efficiency) A2 BAT, A2, A3, B1, B2 and for dimmable ballasts A1 BAT and A1.

Table 17 contains the EEI classes for ballasts which are designed to operate the lamps mentioned in the table or other lamps which are designed to be operated by the same ballasts as the lamps mentioned in the table (meaning that the data of the reference ballast is equal).

In addition, non-dimmable ballasts not included in table 17 shall be assigned an EEI depending on their efficiency as described in Table 18:

Energy efficiency index requirements for non-dimmable ballasts for fluorescent lamps not included in Table 17

| ηballast | Energy Efficiency Index |

Where EBbFL is defined in Annex II.3.g.

Furthermore, dimmable fluorescent lamp ballasts receive EEI classes according to the class into which the ballast would fall when it is operated at the 100 % lumen output, as described in Table 19.

Table 19

Energy efficiency index requirements for dimmable ballasts for fluorescent lamps

Multi-wattage ballasts shall either be classified according to their efficiency under the lowest (worst) efficiency, or a relevant class shall be indicated for each operated lamp.

B.   Second stage requirements

Three years after the entry into force of this Regulation:

for ballasts for high intensity discharge lamps, the efficiency of the ballast as defined in Annex II.1.d shall be indicated.

3.   REQUIREMENTS FOR LUMINAIRES FOR FLUORESCENT LAMPS WITHOUT INTEGRATED BALLAST AND FOR LUMINAIRES FOR HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LAMPS

3.1.   Luminaire energy performance requirements

A.   First stage requirements

One year after this Regulation comes into force:

the power consumption of luminaires for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast shall not exceed the sum of the power consumption of the incorporated ballasts when the lamps they are normally operating do not emit any light when other possible connected components (network connections, sensors etc.) are disconnected. If they cannot be disconnected, their power shall be measured and deducted from the result.

B.   Second stage requirements

Three years after this Regulation comes into force:

| | Luminaires for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast and for high intensity discharge lamps shall be compatible with ballasts complying with the third stage requirements, except luminaires with ingress protection grade at least IP4X. |

In areas where light pollution is of concern, the maximum proportion of the light going above the horizon is not more than 1 % for all road classes and lumen outputs.

Luminaires are designed so that they avoid emitting obtrusive light to the maximum extent. However, any improvement of the luminaire aiming at reducing the emission of obtrusive light is not to the detriment of the overall energy efficiency of the installation for which it is designed.

If they are luminaires for fluorescent or high-intensity discharge lamps, they are compatible with at least one lamp type complying with the benchmarks of Annex V.

Luminaires are compatible with installations equipped with appropriate dimming and control systems that take account of daylight availability, traffic and weather conditions, and also compensate for the variation over time in surface reflection and for the initial dimensioning of the installation due to the lamp lumen maintenance factor.
