SCHEDULE 12 Energy labelling of light sources – energy efficiency classes and calculation method
Regulations 12(4) and 15(1)
1. The energy efficiency class of light sources must be determined as set out in Table 12, on the basis of the total mains efficacy ηTM, which is calculated by—
(a) dividing the declared useful luminous flux Φuse (expressed in lm) by the declared on-mode power consumption Pon (expressed in W); and
(b) multiplying by the applicable factor FTM in Table 13,
as follows—
ηTM = (Φuse/Pon) × FTM (lm/W).

Table 12 Energy efficiency classes of light sources
Energy efficiency class	Total mains efficacy ηΤM (lm/W)
A	210 ≤ ηΤM
B	185 ≤ ηΤM < 210
C	160 ≤ ηΤM < 185
D	135 ≤ ηΤM < 160
E	110 ≤ ηΤM < 135
F	85 ≤ ηΤM < 110
G	ηΤM < 85

Table 13 Factors FTM by light source type
Light source type	Factor FTM
Non-directional (NDLS) operating on mains (MLS)	1.000
Non-directional (NDLS) not operating on mains (NMLS)	0.926
Directional (DLS) operating on mains (MLS)	1.176
Directional (DLS) not operating on mains (NMLS)	1.089

SCHEDULE 13 Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes
Regulation 16

Interpretation
1. In this Schedule “determined values” means the values of the relevant parameters as measured by the market surveillance authority in testing and the values calculated from these measurements.

Verification procedure
2. The market surveillance authority must apply the procedure set out in this Schedule when verifying the conformity of a product model with these Regulations.
3. The product model conforms to these Regulations if all the following conditions are satisfied in respect of the product model—
(a) the declared values and, where applicable, the values used to calculate the declared values, are not more favourable for the supplier than the corresponding measurements carried out pursuant to paragraph 1(2)(b)(vii) or 5(2)(d) of Schedule 1A to the 2010 Regulations;
(b) the values published on the label and in the product information sheet are not more favourable for the supplier than the declared values;
(c) the indicated energy efficiency class is not more favourable for the supplier than the class determined by the declared values; and
(d) the determined values comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 14, and for this purpose the determined values are calculated as—
(i) the arithmetic mean over the tested units of the measured values for a given parameter; or
(ii) the arithmetic mean of parameter values calculated from measured values.
4. (1) For the purposes of paragraph 3(a), (b) and (c), the market surveillance authority must check one single unit of the product model to be verified.
(2) For the purpose of paragraph 3(d), the market surveillance authority must test 10 units of the product model.
5. If any of the conditions set out in paragraph 3 are not satisfied in respect of the product model, the product model and all equivalent product models do not conform to these Regulations.
6. Where a model has been designed to be able to detect it is being tested (for example by recognising test conditions or test cycles), and to react specifically by automatically altering its performance during the test with the objective of reaching a more favourable level for any of the parameters specified in these Regulations or any parameters included in the technical documentation or in any of the documentation provided, the product model and all equivalent models do not conform to these Regulations.

Verification tolerances
7. (1) The verification tolerances set out in Table 14 must be used only by the market surveillance authority and only for the purposes of this Schedule.
(2) The supplier must not use the verification tolerances—
(a) as allowed tolerances to establish the values in the technical documentation;
(b) in order to interpret those values with a view to achieving compliance; or
(c) to communicate better performance.

Table 14 Verification tolerances

The light source manufacturer or importer must indicate which separate control gear is suitable for this length.
(4) When verifying if a product model is a light source, the market surveillance authority must compare the measured values for—
(a) chromaticity coordinates (x and y);
(b) luminous flux;
(c) luminous flux density; and
(d) colour rendering index,
directly with the limit values set out in the definition for light source in regulation 2(1), without applying any tolerances.
(5) If any of the 10 units in the sample satisfies the conditions for being a light source, the product model must be considered to be a light source.
(6) Light sources that allow the end-user to control, manually or automatically, directly or remotely—
(a) the luminous intensity;
(b) colour;
(c) correlated colour temperature;
(d) spectrum; or
(e) beam angle,
of the emitted light, must be tested using the reference control settings.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
