Guidelines for Energy Labelling rules
LightingEurope has poured our members’ collective expertise into a new revised version 3 of our guidelines on the EU Ecodesign and Energy Labelling rules for light sources.
What’s new
This new revised version addresses the changes introduced by the Omnibus Amendment published on 26 February 2021 (e.g. SVM, heating lamps, energy label transition period from 1st July). We’ve also updated the text in some sections to reflect our understanding about how to interpret and apply certain requirements.
The LightingEurope guidelines contain the experience our members and staff have gained while discussing these new rules since 2015, when they were first being drafted, both with regulators and among companies within our working groups.
They are LightingEurope’s contribution to support all companies to understand and apply the new and complex rules, and to help all authorities enforce them.
