Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 of 18 March 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps, and repealing Directive 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance)
After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.
The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.
There are outstanding changes not yet made to Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009. Any changes that have already been made to the legislation appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. Changes and effects are recorded by our editorial team in lists which can be found in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ area. Where those effects have yet to be applied to the text of the legislation by the editorial team they are also listed alongside the legislation in the affected provisions.

Manufacturers of ballasts shall provide at least the following information on free-access websites and in other forms they deem appropriate for each of their ballast models. That information shall also be affixed in a distinct and durable form to the ballast. It 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.
One year after the entry into force of this Regulation:
for ballasts for fluorescents lamps, an energy efficiency index (EEI) class shall be provided as defined below.
‘Energy efficiency index’ (EEI) means a classification system of ballasts for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballasts in classes according to efficiency limit values. The classes for non-dimmable ballasts are (in descending order of efficiency) A2 BAT, A2, A3, B1, B2 and for dimmable ballasts A1 BAT and A1.
Table 17 contains the EEI classes for ballasts which are designed to operate the lamps mentioned in the table or other lamps which are designed to be operated by the same ballasts as the lamps mentioned in the table (meaning that the data of the reference ballast is equal).

Textual Amendments
F1 Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 347/2010 of 21 April 2010 amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 as regards the ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps (Text with EEA relevance).
In addition, non-dimmable ballasts not included in table 17 shall be assigned an EEI depending on their efficiency as described in Table 18:
Energy efficiency index requirements for non-dimmable ballasts for fluorescent lamps not included in Table 17
ηballast | Energy Efficiency Index |
---|---|
≥ 0,94 * EBbFL | A3 |
≥ EBbFL | A2 |
≥ 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.
Energy efficiency index requirements for dimmable ballasts for fluorescent lamps
Complied class at 100 % lumen output | Energy Efficiency Index of dimmable ballast |
---|---|
A3 | A1 |
A2 | A1 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.
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.
