EU Directive on Eco-Design (ErP)
Requirements on efficiency for Professional Lighting
Regulation EC 245/2009 relates to lamp types and components that are primarily used in highway, office, and industrial lighting applications:
- Fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast (single- and double-side sockets)
- Rod-shaped fluorescent lamps
- Compact fluorescent lamps
- Circular lamps
- U-shaped lamps
- High-pressure discharge lamps with E27/E40/PGZ12 sockets
- Metal halide lamps
- High-pressure sodium vapor lamps
- Mercury vapor lamps
- Ballasts for these lamps
- Luminaires for these lamps
Requirements on efficiency for Home Lighting
For home lighting, the Commission Regulation EC 244/2009 also provides a gradual phasing out for less efficient light sources.
International environment and climate protection goals
Within the framework of Kyoto 1997 climate protection objectives, the EU defined a series of measures for the economical and sustainable use of resources. Here you will find important information on the EU Directive 2009/125/EC, relating to the eco-design of energy-related products (ErP).
Requirements for new product information on the packaging
Since 1 September 2009 additional product information on the packaging is mandatory. In addition the EU directive provides that the term "energy-saving" may only be applied to products with Energy Level A.
EU Directive: Special purpose lighting
Special lamps designed for applications such as traffic lights, terrarium lighting systems and appliances and indicate this clearly on the accompanying product information, are not subject to the requirements for eco-design.
Staged phase-out
For the areas of road lighting, office lighting and industrial lighting from 2010 a gradual phasing out of less efficient bulbs is provided. Affected product groups may no longer be brought on the market of the European Union.
Efficient alternatives in professional lighting
Environmental protection is a key concern at OSRAM. That is why we already offer an extensive assortment of energy-efficient products for the professional market that are uncompromising in their lighting quality today. Due to their excellent savings potential, it even makes sense to switch over today. You should switch over too.
Efficient alternatives for conventional light bulbs
Environmental protection at OSRAM. For consumers. We offer a wide range of energy-efficient products for home lighting. Due to large savings potential, a transition is worth today. Change now!
