LIGHTING SOLUTIONS: GENERAL REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Commission Regulation (EU) No 347/2010 amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 as regards the ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps.

EU Green Paper “Lighting the Future – Accelerating the deployment of innovative lighting technologies” (15/12/2011)

Lighting accounts for 19% of electricity consumption worldwide and 14% in the
EU. As incandescent lamps are being phased out in Europe, new energy efficient
and eco-friendly lighting technologies start to replace them. Solid State Lighting
(SSL) is the most innovative technology emerging in the market. It is based on lightemitting semi-conducting materials that convert electricity into light and comprises
LED and OLED lighting.

 

ENERGY LABELLING

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.

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012 of 12 July 2012 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of electrical lamps and luminaires.
