(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources 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 products having significant potential for energy savings and a wide disparity in performance levels with equivalent functionality. |

| --- | --- |

(2)

Provisions on the energy labelling of household lamps were established by Commission Directive 98/11/EC (2).

The electricity used by electrical lamps accounts for a significant share of total electricity demand in the Union. In addition to the energy efficiency improvements already achieved, the scope for further reducing the energy consumption of electrical lamps is substantial.

| (4) | Directive 98/11/EC should be repealed and new provisions should be set out in this Regulation in order to ensure that the energy label provides dynamic incentives for suppliers further to improve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-efficient technologies. The scope of Directive 98/11/EC is limited to certain technologies within the category of household lamps. In order to use the label to improve the energy efficiency of other lamp technologies, including in professional lighting, this Regulation should also cover directional lamps, extra low voltage lamps, light-emitting diodes, and lamps used predominantly in professional lighting, such as high-intensity discharge lamps. |

Member States’ authorities shall use reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement procedures, which take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art measurement methods, including methods set out in documents whose reference numbers have been published for that purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union.

1.   VERIFICATION PROCEDURE FOR ELECTRICAL LAMPS AND LED MODULES MARKETED AS INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS

For the purposes of checking conformity with the requirements laid down in Articles 3 and 4, Member States’ authorities shall test a sample batch of a minimum of 20 lamps of the same model from the same manufacturer, where possible obtained in equal proportion from four randomly selected sources, and taking into account the technical parameters set out in the technical documentation according to point (f) in Annex III.

The model shall be considered to comply with the requirements laid down in Articles 3 and 4 if the model’s energy efficiency index corresponds to its declared energy efficiency class and if the average results of the batch do not vary from the limit, threshold or declared values (including the energy efficiency index) 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 relate 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.   VERIFICATION 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 Articles 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 according to point 2.2(IV)(a) and (b) of Annex I, applying state-of-the-art methods and criteria for assessing compatibility.

ANNEX VII

Method for calculating the energy efficiency 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 total flux for non-directional lamps, and the flux in a 90° or 120° cone for directional lamps.

The EEI is calculated as follows and rounded to two decimal places:

EEI = Pcor/Pref

where:

Pcor is the rated power (Prated) for models without external control 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.

Table 2

Power correction if the model requires external control gear

| Scope of the correction | Power corrected for control gear losses (Pcor) |
| --- | --- |
| Lamps operating on external halogen lamp control gear | Prated × 1,06 |
| Lamps operating on external LED lamp control gear | Prated × 1,10 |
| Fluorescent lamps of 16 mm diameter (T5 lamps) and 4-pin single capped fluorescent lamps operating on external fluorescent lamp control gear | Prated × 1,10 |
| Other lamps operating on external fluorescent lamp control gear | |
| Lamps operating on external high-intensity discharge lamp control gear | Prated × 1,10 |
| Lamps operating on external low pressure sodium lamp control gear | Prated × 1,15 |

Pref is the reference power obtained from the useful luminous flux of the model (Φuse) by the following formulae:

| | For models with Φuse < 1 300 lumen: Pref = 0,88√Φuse + 0,049Φuse |
| --- | --- |

For models with Φuse < 1 300 lumen: Pref = 0,88√Φuse + 0,049Φuse

| | For models with Φuse ≥ 1 300 lumen: Pref = 0,07341Φuse |
| --- | --- |

For models with Φuse ≥ 1 300 lumen: Pref = 0,07341Φuse

The useful luminous flux (Φuse) is defined in accordance with Table 3.

Table 3

Definition of the useful luminous flux

| Model | Useful luminous flux (Φuse) |
| --- | --- |
| Non-directional lamps | Total rated luminous flux (Φ) |
| Directional lamps with a beam angle ≥ 90° other than filament lamps 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 (Φ120°) |
| Other directional lamps | Rated luminous flux in a 90° cone (Φ90°) |
