Title: COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/... 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

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
            
            
               1.CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT
            
            
               Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  1
                establishes a framework for adopting regulations on EU-wide energy labelling of energy-related products and repeals the previous framework set out in Directive 2010/30/EU. Energy labelling is a key EU policy instrument for informing consumers about the energy efficiency and other environmental performance aspects of energy-related products placed on the internal market. The energy label is recognised and used by 85 % of Europeans
                  2
               . 
            
            
               Under this framework, the energy labelling measures applicable to lighting products are in:
            
            
               –Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012
                  3
                of 12 July 2012 with regard to energy labelling of electrical lamps and luminaires;
            
            
               –as amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 518/2014
                  4
                of 5 March 2014 with regard to labelling of energy-related products on the internet.
            
            
               The revision of the energy labelling measure for lighting products follows Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 874/2012. In particular, this review should assess verification tolerances.
            
            
               Article 11 of the Energy Labelling Framework Regulation lists five priority product groups for which new delegated acts with rescaled energy labels must be adopted by 2 November 2018. Lighting is one of the priority product groups. Therefore, a new delegated act for the energy labelling of lighting products must be adopted so that products currently ranging from A++ to E can be rescaled from A to G to address the overpopulation of the top classes.
            
            
               Also, there are new policies that require the revision to look beyond the strict scope mentioned in the review articles of the existing acts for lighting products. These new policies include a renewed effort to reduce green house gas emissions through the Paris climate agreement
                  5
               , the Commission’s circular economy action plan
                  6
               , the Better Regulation policy for more efficient and effective legislation
                  7
                and the need to address possible circumvention of testing standards
                  8
               .
            
            
               This act is developed in parallel with the proposed act for the ecodesign of lighting products.
            
            
               General context
            
            
               In 2014, the Commission conducted an ‘Omnibus’ review
                  9
                of several product groups that indicated that there is still a large untapped energy saving potential for lighting products. This made the acts on ecodesign and energy labelling eligible for revision. This was confirmed by the review studies, in particular the Lot 8/9/19 review study concluded in October 2015
                  10
                for which consultants developed MELISA, the ‘Model for European Light Sources Analysis’.
            
            
               In the European Commission's 2016-2019 ecodesign working plan
                  11
               , the revision of the implementing acts for lighting products is mentioned as one of the major energy saving opportunities, with 125 TWh of primary energy savings per year expected in 2030 (combined effect of ecodesign and energy labelling).
            
            
               In 2015, around 1,7 billion light sources were sold in the 28 EU Member States, of which approximately 22 % based on LED technology. In the same year, around 11,4 billion light sources were operating in EU-28, of which 6,5 % LED. These light sources consumed a total of 336 TWh/a of electricity, covering 12,4 % of the overall EU-28 electricity use. This corresponded to greenhouse gas emissions of 132 megatons of CO2 equivalent per year (MtCO2eq/a), i.e. 2,8 % of the overall greenhouse gas emissions in EU-28.
            
            
               Impact data from October 2017, based on the latest version of the MELISA model, estimates that this act on energy labelling of light sources will reduce the electricity consumption for lighting by 2030, reaching 11 TWh/y of electricity savings, in addition to 40-42 TWh/y from the ecodesign act
                  12
               .
            
            
               2.CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ACT
            
            
               Consultation of interested parties
            
            
               There was extensive consultation of stakeholders during the review studies and before and after the Consultation Forum meetings. Further external expertise was collected and analysed during this process.
            
            
               Stakeholders (industry, Member States, NGOs) were consulted during the Lot 8/9/19 review study in two occasions. A first stakeholder meeting was held on 5 February 2015 on the MEErP (
                  13
               ) Task 0, 1, 2 and 3 reports; a second meeting was held on 17 June 2015 on the Task 4, 5 and 6 reports.
            
         
         
            
               Study reports were updated to reflect stakeholders’ comments. Importantly, the future projections for LED prices and LED efficiencies used in the analysis of the MELISA model were agreed with industry. Stakeholder comments were also taken into account when preparing the Commission working document for the Ecodesign Consultation Forum (ECF) of 7 December 2015.
            
            
               The comments on the 2015 working document showed a lack of consensus among stakeholders on the general approach, on the level of ambition and on many details, especially for the ecodesign part. To resolve this situation and address the different comments, additional stakeholder meetings were held after the 2015 ECF, between spring 2016 and spring 2017. The MELISA model was extensively discussed with industry experts and adapted accordingly.
            
            
               A second ECF took place on 7 December 2017.
            
            
               An online public consultation was held from 12 February to 7 May 2018 to collect stakeholders’ views on issues such as the expected effect of potential legislative measures on business and on energy consumption trends.
            
            
               The consultation contained a common part on ecodesign and energy labelling, followed by product-specific questions on (i) refrigerators, (ii) dishwashers, (iii) washing machines, (iv) televisions, (v) electronic displays and (vi) lighting.
            
            
               1230 responses were received of which 67 % from consumers and 19 % from businesses (of which three quarters were SMEs and one quarter large companies). Non-governmental organisations made up 6 % of the respondents, and 7 % were ‘other’ categories. National or local governments accounted for less than 1 % of the respondents, and 0,25 % came from national market surveillance authorities.
            
            
               The countries of residence of the participants were predominantly the UK (41 %) and Germany (26 %), with a second group residing in Austria, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Spain and together comprising some 17 %. Nine other Member States comprised another 9,5 % of the replies, but residents in 12 EU Member States gave either zero or a negligible number of responses. Non-EU respondents comprised around 5 % of the replies.
            
            
               All the respondents except one (1229 out of 1230) answered the questions on lighting products. 719 participants (58 %) replied only to lighting.
            
            
               Impact assessment
            
            
               An impact assessment is required when the expected economic, environmental or social impacts of EU action are likely to be significant. The impact assessment for the review of Regulations (EC) No 874/2012 and No 244/2009, No 245/2009 and No 1194/2012 was carried out between May 2017 and March 2018.
            
            
               The data collected in the review studies served as a basis for the impact assessment. Additional data and information were collected and discussed by the impact assessment study team with industry, experts and other stakeholders, including Member States. During this process, several meetings were organised with industry and Member State experts. The additional data and information collection focused on:
            
            
               –additional market data on energy efficiency for 2015-2017;
            
            
               –an update on lighting catalogues for the availability of LED replacements;
            
            
               –fine-tuning of the requirements;
            
            
               –fine-tuning of definitions;
            
            
               –investigation of various options for the phase-out of T8 lamps;
            
            
               –sensitivity analysis of electricity tariffs;
            
            
               –extended information on SMEs, possible impacts;
            
            
               –extended information on specific sectors using T8 lamps.
            
            
               The impact assessment report was submitted to the Regulatory Scrutiny Board (RSB) on 16 May 2018. Following a meeting on 13 June 2018, on 18 June 2018 the RSB delivered a positive opinion with reservations. The draft impact assessment was subsequently improved, based on the RSB’s Opinion
                  14
                and the horizontal and specific technical comments that the RSB sent prior to the meeting of 13 June 2018. The main consideration for energy labelling was that the report should better explain the value added for consumers of maintaining an energy label. Text was added to better explain that the overall effect at 2030 for consumers (considering acquisition costs and electricity costs) is positive for all the assessed options. 
            
         
         
            
               In addition, inception impact assessments for the regulatory measures on the review of ecodesign and energy labelling requirements for this product group were published on 26 January 2018 for feedback by 23 February 2018. In total, 17 comments were received for the ecodesign measure and 16 for the energy labelling measure.
            
            
               In general, all stakeholders are in favour of ecodesign and energy labelling requirements for lighting products. The feedback commented among other things on the strictness of ecodesign requirements, the quality of light, the blue light content and requirements that would make light sources easily replaceable//repairable in products that contain light sources (so-called ‘containing products’).
            
            
               .3.LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE DELEGATED ACT
            
            
               1.
                     Scope
            
            
               The scope of the measures is light sources. Light sources as defined by this act are always in the scope, even when they are parts of ‘containing products’, such as luminaires, mirrors, fridges or shelves. However, the containing products themselves are not in the scope of this act (but they may be in the scope of other energy labelling acts). This means that this act eliminates the energy labelling requirement for luminaires set out in Regulation (EU) No 874/2012.
            
            
               The scope covers all lighting technologies, including incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, high-intensity discharge and light-emitting diodes (both inorganic LED and organic OLED).
            
            
               The definition of light sources is the same as that in the proposed act for ecodesign. However, fewer products are exempt under energy labelling than in the ecodesign act. In the Ecodesign Regulation, it is important to avoid the risk that light sources with special characteristics are unintentionally removed from the market. However, energy labelling of these light sources is useful, because the label will indicate the price to be paid, in terms of lower energy efficiency, to have the special characteristics. Thus, there will be light sources which are exempt from ecodesign requirements but not from the energy labelling.
            
            
               2.
                     Energy efficiency classes
            
            
               A new formula for energy labelling is proposed that better reflects energy efficiency and is more intuitive in the calculation than the energy efficiency index set out in the current energy labelling regulation. In the new metrics, the limits for the energy efficiency classes have been defined directly in terms of light source efficiency, as a result of the total light output of a light source (in lumen, lm) divided by the mains (230 V) power input (in Watt, W) and expressed as lm/W. This change implies that to obtain a given energy efficiency class, light sources with high light output do not need a higher efficiency than light sources with low light output. This is reasonable, considering that when the new energy labelling requirements start to apply, the label classes will mainly aim to differentiate between LEDs based on their respective efficiencies.
            
            
               For directional light sources, where normally only the part of light output in a cone is taken into account, and for non-mains light sources (not taking 230 V as input), correction factors are applied to convert their efficacy to an efficacy comparable to the limits of the energy efficiency classes.
            
            
               Class limits are proposed with a 25 lm/W difference between consecutive classes: all light sources above 210 lm/W are class A. All light sources below 85 lm/W are class G.
            
            
               As of June 2018, there are no light sources on the market that can meet the efficiency limits of classes A and B (but there are at laboratory level). So these classes would initially be empty, as required by Regulation (EU) 2017/1369. The best LED light sources typically used by households today on the market would have the new label class E; the best LED light sources for professional use today on the market would be class D and by 2021 some would be expected to be class C. In 2021, when the new classes will start to apply, class A is still expected to be empty while there might already be some class B light sources on the market.
            
            
               In the highly dynamic light sources market, it is not an easy task to predict the share of models that will fall in class A around 2030, but it is unlikely that an update of the classes would be necessary within 10 years of the introduction. Therefore, in such case the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 would be met.
            
            
               3.
                     Energy label
            
            
               The label is reviewed and updated following the instructions in the new framework Regulation (EU) 2017/1369. The general principle is that the label has to be displayed on the side of the packaging facing the potential buyer at the point of sale (visibility objective). Light sources packages can be small. The tailor-made solution for small packages is to have the label on the rear of the packaging, with a coloured arrow with the energy efficiency class displayed on the front.
            
            
               If the light source is sold inside a containing product (e.g. a luminaire), it would be confusing to attach a label for the light source to the packaging of the containing product. Hence, in this case, a label is not required, but the packaging of the containing product must display a text declaring the energy efficiency class of the contained light source.
            
            
               Re-labelling of existing products is required only for those products which stay unsold with dealers for more than 9 months from the date of application of the new measures (with a sticker); otherwise those products cannot be sold anymore.
            
            
               4.
                     Implementation of product information requirements
            
            
               The delegated act specifies the list of lighting parameters and other information:
            
            
               –to be displayed on the light source itself and on packaging,
            
         
         
            
               –to be entered in the public part of the product database established pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 (this part can be printed as the product information sheet),
            
            
               –to be entered in the compliance part of the product database established pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 (this is a part of the technical documentation).
            
            
               The list of parameters to be entered in the product database includes not only information strictly related to the energy label and its verification. The list also includes all information useful for end-users and for market surveillance authorities to verify compliance with the ecodesign regulation on light sources, which is developed in parallel.
            
            
               5.
                     Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes
            
            
               The procedure to be used by market surveillance authorities to verify the compliance of light sources with this Regulation is aligned with Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2282
                  15
                which is based on verification of parameter values declared by suppliers. In addition, the required number of samples has been reduced. This will facilitate market surveillance activities and remove some ambiguities.
            
            
               For verification tolerances, the approach has been diversified, using different tolerances for different parameters and depending on the sample size.
            
            
               6.
                     Date of application
            
            
               It is the Commission's intention for this act to apply from the same date of application of the ecodesign act which is developed in parallel. The existing energy labelling regulation for lighting products (Regulation (EU) No 874/2012) will be repealed from the day of application, with the exception of Article 3(2) and Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) No 874/2012, which will be repealed from the date of entry into force of this act.

               (3)Measures from the Working Plan have an estimated potential to deliver a 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 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
                  18
               .
            
         
         
            
               (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)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 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 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)Recognizing the growth of sales of energy-related products through web-stores and internet sales platforms, rather than directly from suppliers, it should be clarified that web-stores and internet sales platforms should be responsible for displaying the label provided by the supplier in proximity to the price, as from Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 518/2014.
            
            
               (13)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.
            
            
               (14)Regulation (EU) No 874/2012 should therefore be repealed,

               (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 is not a mains light source. These light sources require 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);

               (8)‘colour-tuneable light source’ (CTLS) means a light source that can be set to emit light with a large variation 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.
            
            
               The term does not include tuneable-white light sources that can only be set to emit light, with different correlated colour temperatures, within the range defined in Article 2. 
            
            
               The term also does not include 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;
            
            
               (9)‘colour purity index’ 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=0.313 and y=0.330 (D65 reference point, 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 colour purity index 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 D65 reference point represents 0 % colour purity (white light);
            
            
               (10)‘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

               (13)‘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;
            
            
               (14)‘full-load’ means the condition of a light source, within the declared operating conditions, in which it emits the maximum (undimmed) initial luminous flux;
            
            
               (15)‘standby mode’ means the condition of a light source, where it is connected to the power supply but the light sources are intentionally not emitting light, and the light source is awaiting a control signal (from a source different from a network) 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;
            
            
               (16)‘networked standby mode’ means the condition of a connected light source (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.

               (17)‘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;
            
            
               (18)‘remotely initiated trigger’ means a signal that comes from outside the light source via a network;
            
            
               (19)‘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.

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 non-mains light source (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;
            
            
               (22)‘standby power’ (Psb), expressed in Watt, is the electric power consumption of a light source in standby mode;

               (24)‘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 from 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.
            
            
               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. In that case the nominal test conditions as defined by the light source manufacturer apply;
            
            
               (25)‘high-pressure mercury light source’ means a high intensity discharge light source in which the major portion of light is produced, directly or indirectly, by radiation from predominantly vaporised mercury operating at a partial pressure in excess of 100 kilopascals;

               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, supplied from at least two different sources, for point 2(c) of this Annex. If the acquisition costs for the 10 units exceed 500 euros, the authorities of the Member State may reduce the sample size to 3 units. 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 Article 3.3 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 authorities of the Member State test the units of the model, the determined values comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 6 of this Annex, 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) or (b) 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.If the result referred to in point 2(c) is 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.
            
            
               5.The authorities of the Member State 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 points 3 and 4 of this Annex.
            
            
               The authorities of the Member State shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 6 and shall use only the procedure described in this Annex. No other tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.

               For light sources with linear geometry which are scalable but of very long length, such as LED strips or strings, verification testing of market surveillance authorities shall consider a length of 50 cm, or, if the light source is not scalable there, the nearest value to 50 cm. The light source supplier shall indicate which control gear is suitable for this length.
            
            
               When verifying if a product is a light source, market surveillance authorities shall compare the measured values for chromaticity coordinates (x and y), luminous flux, luminous flux density, and colour rendering index directly with the limit values set out in the definition for light source of Article 2 of this Regulation, without applying any tolerances. If any of the 3 or 10 units in the sample satisfies the conditions for being a light source, the product model shall be considered to be a light source.
