What’s new in version 4:

This new revised version of June 2021 contains our latest understanding on a number of elements in the Regulations and their amendment, in some cases also including the comments we have received from the European Commission:

  • difference between ‘light source’ in these Regulations and in the Harmonised Nomenclature 2022 (Customs Codes)
  • practical recommendation on CE marking of light sources placed on the market as part of a containing product
  • regarding full-load and reference control setting: guidance on how to declare the energy class of light sources in a containing product
  • recommendation on whether to register in EPREL products that will be phased out on 1 September 2021
  • advice on how to supply the energy label on shaped surfaces
