            COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2019/2015
of 11 March 2019
         
supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of light sources and repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2017 setting a framework for energy labelling and repealing Directive 2010/30/EU (1), and in particular Article 11(5) and Article 16(1) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the labelling or rescaling of the labelling of product groups representing significant potential for energy savings and, where relevant, other resources.












(2)


The Ecodesign Working Plan 2016-2019 (2) established by the Commission in application of Article 16(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) sets out the working priorities under the ecodesign and energy labelling framework for the period 2016-2019. The Ecodesign Working Plan identifies the energy-related product groups to be considered as priorities for the undertaking of preparatory studies and eventual adoption of implementing measures, as well as the review of the current regulations.












(3)


Measures from the Ecodesign Working Plan have an estimated potential to deliver in total in excess of 260 TWh of annual final energy savings in 2030, which is equivalent to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 100 million tonnes per year in 2030. Lighting is one of the product groups listed in the Ecodesign Working Plan, with an estimated 41,9 TWh of annual final energy savings in 2030.












(4)


Provisions on the energy labelling of lighting products, namely electrical lamps and luminaires, were established by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012 (4).












(5)


Lighting products are among the priority product groups mentioned in Article 11(5)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 for which the Commission should adopt a delegated act to introduce an A to G rescaled label.












(6)


Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012 contains a review clause in Article 7 requiring the Commission to review the Regulation in light of technological progress.












(7)


The Commission has reviewed Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012 and analysed the technical, environmental and economic aspects of lighting products as well as real-life user behaviour. The review was carried out in close cooperation with stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and third countries. The results of the review were made public and presented to the Consultation Forum established by Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369.












(8)


The review concluded that there was a need to introduce revised energy labelling requirements for lighting products, namely for light sources.












(9)


The environmental aspect of light sources that has been identified as significant for the purposes of this Regulation is energy consumption in the use phase.












(10)


The review has shown that the electricity consumption of products subject to this Regulation can be further reduced significantly by implementing energy label measures.












(11)


As this Regulation discontinues the energy label specifically dedicated to luminaires in Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012, suppliers of luminaires should be exempted from the obligations related to the product database established under Regulation (EU) 2017/1369.












(12)


Recognising the growth of sales of energy-related products through internet hosting platforms, rather than directly from suppliers' and dealers' websites, it should be clarified that internet sales platforms should be responsible for enabling the displaying of the label provided by the supplier in proximity to the price. They should inform the dealer of that obligation, but should not be responsible for the accuracy or content of the label and the product information sheet provided. However, in application of Article 14(1)(b) of Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) on electronic commerce, such internet hosting platforms should act expeditiously to remove, or to disable access to, information about the product in question if they are aware of the non-compliance (e.g. missing, incomplete or incorrect label or product information sheet), for example if informed by the market surveillance authority. A supplier selling directly to end-users via its own website is covered by dealers' distance selling obligations referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369.












(13)


This Regulation should specify tolerance values for lighting parameters taking into account the approach to information declaration laid down in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/254 (6)













(14)


The measures provided for in this Regulation were discussed by the Consultation Forum and the Member States' experts in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369.












(15)


Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012 should therefore be repealed,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(9)


‘luminous flux’ or ‘flux’ (Φ), expressed in lumen (lm), means the quantity derived from radiant flux (radiant power) by evaluating the electromagnetic radiation in accordance with the spectral sensitivity of the human eye. It refers to the total flux emitted by a light source in a solid angle of 4π steradians under conditions (e.g. current, voltage, temperature) specified in applicable standards. It refers to the initial flux for the undimmed light source after a short operating period, unless it is clearly specified that the flux in a dimmed condition or the flux after a given period of operation is intended. For light sources that can be tuned to emit different light spectra and/or different maximum light intensities, it refers to the flux in the ‘reference control settings’ as defined in Annex I;










(10)


‘colour rendering index’ (CRI) means a metric quantifying the effect of an illuminant on the colour appearance of objects by conscious or subconscious comparison with their colour appearance under the reference illuminant and is the average Ra of the colour rendering for the first 8 test colours (R1-R8) defined in standards;

Fluorescent light sources may have one (‘single-capped’) or two (‘double-capped’) connections (‘caps’) to their electricity supply. For the purposes of this Regulation, magnetic induction light sources are also considered as fluorescent light sources;










(14)


‘high intensity discharge’ (HID) means an electric gas discharge in which the light- producing arc is stabilised by wall temperature and the arc chamber has a bulb wall loading in excess of 3 watts per square centimetre. HID light sources are limited to metal halide, high-pressure sodium and mercury vapour types as defined in Annex I;

ANNEX I
Definitions applicable for the Annexes
The following definitions shall apply:






(1)


‘mains light source’ (MLS) means a light source that can be operated directly on the mains electricity supply. Light sources that operate directly on the mains, and can also operate indirectly on the mains using a separate control gear, shall be considered to be mains light sources;










(2)


‘non-mains light source’ (NMLS) means a light source that requires a separate control gear to operate on the mains;










(3)


‘separate control gear’ means a control gear that is not physically integrated with a light source and is placed on the market as a separate product or as part of a containing product;

(6)


‘connected light source’ (CLS) means a light source including data-connection parts that are physically or functionally inseparable from the light emitting parts to maintain the ‘reference control settings’. The light source can have physically integrated data-connection parts in a single inseparable housing, or the light source can be combined with physically separate data-connection parts placed on the market together with the light source as a single product;










(7)


‘data-connection parts’ means parts that perform any one of the following functions:






(a)


reception or transmission of wired or wireless data signals and the processing thereof (used to control the light emission function and possibly otherwise);










(b)


sensing and processing of the sensed signals (used to control the light emission function and possibly otherwise);










(c)


a combination of these;














(8)


‘colour-tuneable light source’ (CTLS) means a light source that can be set to emit light with a large variety of colours outside the range defined in Article 2 but can also be set to emit white light inside the range defined in Article 2 for which the light source is within the scope of this Regulation.
Tuneable-white light sources that can only be set to emit light with different correlated colour temperatures, within the range defined in Article 2, and dim-to-warm light sources that shift their white light output to lower correlated colour temperature when dimmed, simulating the behaviour of incandescent light sources, are not considered CTLS;










(9)


‘excitation purity’ means a percentage computed for a CTLS set to emit light of a certain colour, using a procedure further defined in standards, by drawing a straight line on an (x and y) colour space graph from a point with colour coordinates x = 0,333 and y = 0,333 (achromatic stimulus; point (1), going through the point representing the (x and y) colour coordinates of the light source (point (2), and ending on the outer border of the colour space (locus; point (3). The excitation purity is computed as the distance between points 1 and 2 divided by the distance between points 1 and 3. The full length of the line represents 100 % colour purity (point on the locus). The achromatic stimulus point represents 0 % colour purity (white light);

(11)


‘luminance’ (in a given direction, at a given point of a real or imaginary surface) means the luminous flux transmitted by an elementary beam passing through the given point and propagating in the solid angle containing the given direction divided by the area of a section of that beam containing the given point (cd/m2);










(12)


‘average luminance’ (Luminance-HLLS) for a LED light source means the average luminance over a light-emitting area where the luminance is more than 50 % of the peak luminance (cd/mm2);










(13)


‘lighting control parts’ means parts that are integrated in a light source, or physically separated but marketed together with a light source as a single product, that are not strictly necessary for the light source to emit light at full-load, but that enable manual — or automatic-, direct- or remote-, control of luminous intensity, chromaticity, correlated colour temperature, light spectrum and/or beam angle. Dimmers shall also be considered as lighting control parts.
The term also includes data-connection parts, but the term does not include devices within the scope of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 (1);










(14)


‘non-lighting parts’ means parts that are integrated in a light source, or physically separated but marketed together with a light source as a single product, that are not necessary for the light source to emit light at full-load, and that are not ‘lighting control parts’. Examples include, but are not limited to: speakers (audio), cameras, repeaters for communication signals to extend the range (e.g. WiFi), parts supporting grid balance (switching to own internal batteries when necessary), battery charging, visual notification of events (mail arriving, door bell ringing, alert), use of Light Fidelity (Li-Fi, a bidirectional, high-speed and fully networked wireless communication technology).
The term also includes data-connection parts used for other functions than to control the light emission function;










(15)


‘useful luminous flux’ (Φuse) means the part of the luminous flux of a light source that is considered when determining its energy efficiency:






—


for non-directional light sources it is the total flux emitted in a solid angle of 4π sr (corresponding to a 360° sphere);










—


for directional light sources with beam angle ≥ 90° it is the flux emitted in a solid angle of π sr (corresponding to a cone with angle of 120°);










—


for directional light sources with beam angle < 90° it is the flux emitted in a solid angle of 0,586π sr (corresponding to a cone with angle of 90°);














(16)


‘beam angle’ of a directional light source means the angle between two imaginary lines in a plane through the optical beam axis, such that these lines pass through the centre of the front face of the light source and through points at which the luminous intensity is 50 % of the centre beam intensity, where the centre beam intensity is the value of luminous intensity measured on the optical beam axis.
For light sources that have different beam angles in different planes, the largest beam angle shall be the one taken into account;
For light sources with user-controllable beam angle, the beam angle corresponding to the ‘reference control setting’ shall be the one taken into account;










(17)


‘full-load’ means the condition of a light source, within the declared operating conditions, in which it emits the maximum (undimmed) luminous flux;










(18)


‘standby mode’ means the condition of a light source, where it is connected to the power supply but the light source is intentionally not emitting light, and the light source is awaiting a control signal to return to a state with light emission. Lighting control parts enabling the standby function shall be in their control mode. Non-lighting parts shall be disconnected or switched off or their power consumption shall be minimised following manufacturer’s instructions;










(19)


‘networked standby mode’ means the condition of a CLS where it is connected to the power supply but the light source is intentionally not emitting light and is awaiting a remotely initiated trigger to return to a state with light emission. Lighting control parts shall be in their control mode. Non-lighting parts shall be disconnected or switched off or their power consumption shall be minimised following the manufacturer’s instructions;










(20)


‘control mode’ means the condition of lighting control parts where they are connected to the light source and performing their functions in such a way that a control signal can be internally generated or a remotely initiated trigger can be received, by wire or wireless, and processed to lead to a change in the light emission of the light source;










(21)


‘remotely initiated trigger’ means a signal that comes from outside the light source via a network;










(22)


‘control signal’ means an analogue or digital signal transmitted to the light source wirelessly or wired either via voltage modulation in separate control cables or via a modulated signal in the supply voltage. The signal transmission is not through a network but e.g. from an internal source or from a remote control delivered with the product;










(23)


‘network’ means a communication infrastructure with a topology of links, an architecture, including the physical components, organisational principles, communication procedures and formats (protocols);










(24)


‘on-mode power’ (Pon) expressed in watt, means the electric power consumption of a light source in full-load with all lighting control parts and non-lighting parts disconnected. If these parts cannot be disconnected they shall be switched off or their power consumption shall be minimised following the manufacturer’s instructions. In case of a NMLS that requires a separate control gear to operate, Pon can be measured directly on the input to the light source, or Pon is determined using a control gear with known efficiency, whose electric power consumption is subsequently subtracted from the measured mains power input value;










(25)


‘standby power’ (Psb) expressed in watt, is the electric power consumption of a light source in standby mode;










(26)


‘networked standby power’ (Pnet) expressed in watt, is the electric power consumption of a CLS in networked standby mode;










(27)


‘reference control settings’ (RCS) means a control setting or a combination of control settings that is used to verify compliance of a light source with this Regulation. These settings are relevant for light sources that allow the end-user to control, manually or automatically, directly or remotely, the luminous intensity, colour, correlated colour temperature, spectrum, and/or beam angle of the emitted light.
In principle, the reference control settings shall be those predefined by the manufacturer as factory default values, and encountered by the user at first installation (out-of-the-box values). If the installation procedure provides for an automatic software update during first installation, or if the user has the option to perform such an update, the resulting change in settings (if any) shall be taken into account.
If the out-of-the-box value is deliberately set differently to the reference control setting (e.g. at low power for safety purposes), the manufacturer shall indicate in the technical documentation how to recall the reference control settings for compliance verification and provide a technical justification why the out-of-the-box value is set differently to the reference control setting.
The light source manufacturer shall define the reference control settings such that:






—


the light source is within the scope of this Regulation according to Article 1 and none of the conditions for exemption applies;










—


lighting control parts and non-lighting parts are disconnected or switched-off, or, in case this is not possible, the power consumption of these parts is minimal;










—


the full-load condition is obtained;










—


when the end-user opts to reset factory defaults, the reference control settings are obtained.




For light sources that allow the manufacturer of a containing product to make implementation choices that influence light source characteristics (e.g. definition of the operating current(s); thermal design), and that cannot be controlled by the end-user, the reference control settings need not be defined.

ANNEX IX
Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes
The verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by Member State authorities. These tolerances shall not be used by the supplier as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation. The values and classes on the label or on the product information sheet shall not be more favourable for the supplier than the values reported in the technical documentation.
When verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this Delegated Regulation, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following procedure:






1.


The Member State authorities shall verify one single unit of the model for points 2(a) and 2(b) of this Annex.
The Member State authorities shall verify 10 units of the light source model for point 2(c) of this Annex. The verification tolerances are laid down in Table 6 of this Annex.










2.


The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:






(a)


the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to point 3 of Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 (declared values), and, where applicable, the values used to calculate these values, are not more favourable for the supplier than the corresponding values given in the test reports; and










(b)


the values published on the label and in the product information sheet are not more favourable for the supplier than the declared values, and the indicated energy efficiency class is not more favourable for the supplier than the class determined by the declared values; and










(c)


when the Member State authorities test the units of the model, the determined values comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 9, where ‘determined value’ means the arithmetical mean over the tested units of the measured values for a given parameter or the arithmetical mean of parameter values calculated from other measured values.














3.


If the results referred to in point 2(a), (b) or (c) are not achieved, the model and all models that have been listed as equivalent models in the supplier’s technical documentation shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.










4.


The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay after a decision is taken on the non-compliance of the model in accordance with point 3 of this Annex.




The Member State authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 9 and shall use only the procedure described in this Annex. For the parameters in Table 9, no other tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.
