In addition, non-dimmable ballasts not included in table 17 shall be assigned an EEI depending on their efficiency as described in Table 18:

Table 18

Energy efficiency index requirements for non-dimmable ballasts for fluorescent lamps not included in Table 17

ηballastEnergy Efficiency Index
≥ 0,94 * EBbFLA3
≥ EBbFLA2
≥ 1-0,75*(1-EBbFL)A2 BAT

Where EBbFL is defined in Annex II.3.g.

Furthermore, dimmable fluorescent lamp ballasts receive EEI classes according to the class into which the ballast would fall when it is operated at the 100 % lumen output, as described in Table 19.

Table 19

Energy efficiency index requirements for dimmable ballasts for fluorescent lamps

Complied class at 100 % lumen outputEnergy Efficiency Index of dimmable ballast
A3A1
A2A1 BAT

Multi-wattage ballasts shall either be classified according to their efficiency under the lowest (worst) efficiency, or a relevant class shall be indicated for each operated lamp.

B.Second stage requirementsU.K.

Three years after the entry into force of this Regulation:

for ballasts for high intensity discharge lamps, the efficiency of the ballast as defined in Annex II.1.d shall be indicated.

3.REQUIREMENTS FOR LUMINAIRES FOR FLUORESCENT LAMPS WITHOUT INTEGRATED BALLAST AND FOR LUMINAIRES FOR HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LAMPSU.K.

3.1.Luminaire energy performance requirementsU.K.

A.First stage requirementsU.K.

One year after this Regulation comes into force:

the power consumption of luminaires for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast shall not exceed the sum of the power consumption of the incorporated ballasts when the lamps they are normally operating do not emit any light when other possible connected components (network connections, sensors etc.) are disconnected. If they cannot be disconnected, their power shall be measured and deducted from the result.

B.Second stage requirementsU.K.

Three years after this Regulation comes into force:

C.Third stage requirementsU.K.

Eight years after this Regulation comes into force:

All luminaires for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast and for high intensity discharge lamps shall be compatible with ballasts complying with the third stage requirements.

3.2.Product information requirements on luminairesU.K.

A.First stage requirementsU.K.

18 months after this Regulation comes into force:

Manufacturers of luminaires for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast with total lamp lumen above 2 000 lumen shall provide at least the following information on free-access websites and in other forms they deem appropriate for each of their luminaire models. That information shall also be contained in the technical documentation file drawn up for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 8 of Directive 2005/32/EC:

(a)

if the luminaire is placed on the market together with the ballast, information on the efficiency of the ballast according to Annex III.2.2, in accordance with the ballast manufacturer’s data;

(b)

if the luminaire is placed on the market together with the lamp, lamp efficacy (lm/W) of the lamp, in accordance with the lamp manufacturer’s data;

(c)

if the ballast or the lamp are not placed on the market together with the luminaire, references used in manufacturers' catalogues must be provided on the types of lamps or ballasts compatible with the luminaire (e.g. ILCOS code for the lamps);

(d)

maintenance instructions to ensure that the luminaire maintains, as far as possible, its original quality throughout its lifetime;

(e)

disassembly instructions.

B.Second stage requirementsU.K.

Three years after this Regulation comes into force:

the information provision requirements of the first stage shall also apply to luminaires for high intensity discharge lamps with total lamp lumen above 2 000 lumen. In addition, all luminaires for high intensity discharge lamps shall indicate that they are designed for either clear and/or coated lamps within the meaning of Annex II.
