COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/2020

of 1 October 2019

laying down ecodesign requirements for light sources and separate control gears pursuant to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Regulations (EC) No 244/2009, (EC) No 245/2009 and (EU) No 1194/2012

(Text with EEA relevance)

(4) ‘containing product’ means a product containing one or more light sources, or separate control gears, or both. Examples of containing products are luminaires that can be taken apart to allow separate verification of the contained light source(s), household appliances containing light source(s), furniture (shelves, mirrors, display cabinets) containing light source(s). If a containing product cannot be taken apart for verification of the light source and separate control gear, the entire containing product is to be considered a light source;

The technical documentation shall also provide instructions on how light sources and separate control gears can be removed without being permanently damaged for verification purposes by market surveillance authorities.

(52) ‘declared value’ for a parameter means the value given by the manufacturer or importer in the technical documentation pursuant to point 2 of Annex IV to Directive 2009/125/EC;

| Stroboscopic effect for LED and OLED MLS | SVM ≤ 0,4 at full-load (except for HID with Φuse > 4 klm and for light sources intended for use in outdoor applications, industrial applications or other applications where lighting standards allow a CRI< 80) |

(1) Separate control gears:

The information specified in point 3(c)(2) of this Annex shall also be contained in the technical documentation file drawn up for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 8 of Directive 2009/125/EC.

(c) in radiological and nuclear medicine installations, as defined in Article 3 of Council Directive 2009/71/EURATOM (⁴);

(s) halogen light sources with blade contact-, metal lug-, cable-, litz wire- or non-standard customised electrical interface, specifically designed and marketed for industrial or professional electro-heating equipment (e.g. stretch blow-moulding process in PET-Industry, 3D-printing, gluing, inks, paint and coating hardening);

## (w) white light sources which

(1) are designed and marketed specifically for scene-lighting use in film-studios, TV-studios and locations, and photographic-studios and locations, or for stage-lighting use in theatres, during concerts or other entertainment events;

and which:

(2) provide two or more of the following specifications:

(a) LED with high CRI > 90;

(c) LED rated at 180W and greater and arranged to direct output to an area smaller than the light emitting surface;

(d) DWE lamp type which is a tungsten lamp defined by its wattage (650 W) voltage (120 V) and terminal type (pressure screw terminal);

(e) white bi-colour LED sources;

(f) fluorescent tubes: Min BI Pin T5 and Bi Pin T12 with CRI ≥ 85 and CCT 2 900 , 3 000 , 3 200 , 5 600 or 6 500 K.

4.CLS and CSCG designed and marketed specifically for scene-lighting use in film-studios, TV-studios and locations, and photographic studios and locations, or for stage-lighting use in theatres, discos and during concerts or other entertainment events, for connection to high speed control networks (utilising signalling rates of 250 000 bits per second and higher) in always-listening mode, shall be exempt from the requirements on standby (Psb) and on networked standby (Pnet) of points 1(a) and 1(b) of Annex II.

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 manufacturer, importer or authorised representative as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation or in interpreting these values with a view to achieving compliance or to communicate better performance by any means.

When verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this Regulation pursuant to Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, 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.

(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 arithmetic mean over the tested units of the measured values for a given parameter or the arithmetic mean of parameter values calculated from measured values.

3. If the results referred to in point 2(a), (b) or (c) are not achieved, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.

4. 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 point 3 of this Annex.

| **Flicker [*Pst LM*] and stroboscopic effect [*SVM*]** | 10 | The determined value shall not exceed the declared value by more than 10 %. |
