ANNEX I THE LABEL

Label design

1. The label shall be chosen from the following illustrations. Where the label is not printed on the packaging but a separate label is placed on, or attached to the packaging, the colour version shall be used. If the ‘black on white’ version of the label is used, the printing and background may be in any colours that preserve the legibility of the label.

2. The following notes define the information to be included:

Note

I.

The energy efficiency class of the lamp, determined in accordance with Annex IV. This indicator letter shall be placed at the same level as the relevant arrow.

II.

The luminous flux of the lamp in lumens, measured in accordance with the test procedures of the harmonised standards referred to in Article 1(4).

III.

The input power (wattage) of the lamp, measured in accordance with the test procedures of the harmonised standards referred to in Article 1(4).

IV.

The average rated life of the lamp in hours, measured in accordance with the test procedures of the harmonised standards referred to in Article 1(4). Where no other information on the life of the lamp is included on the packaging, this may be omitted.

3. Where the information specified in II, III and, where applicable, IV of point 2 is included elsewhere on the packaging of the lamp, it may be omitted from the label, as may the box that contains it. The label shall then be chosen from the following illustrations:

Printing

4. The following defines certain aspects of the label:

The label shall be contained in a blank border of at least 5 mm, as shown. Where there is no side of the packaging that is large enough to contain the label and this blank border, or where this would cover more than 50 % of the surface area of the largest side, the label and border may be reduced but by no more than is required to meet both these conditions. However in no case may the label be reduced to less than 40 % (by length) of its standard size. Where the packaging is too small to take such a reduced label, the label must be attached to the lamp or the packaging. However, where a full-size label is displayed together with the lamp (for example attached to the shelf on which the lamp is displayed) then the label may be omitted.

ANNEX II The fiche

The fiche shall contain the information specified for the label(1).

ANNEX III MAIL ORDER AND OTHER DISTANCE SELLING

Mail order catalogues and other printed communications referred to in Article 2(4) shall contain either a copy of the label, or the following information, given in the order specified:

1. Energy efficiency class	(Annex I, Note I)
Expressed as ‘Energy efficiency class ... on a scale of A (more efficient) to G (less efficient)’. Where this information is provided in a table this may be expressed by other means provided it is clear that the scale is from A (more efficient) to G (less efficient).
2. Luminous flux of the lamp	(Annex I, Note II)
3. Input power	(Annex I, Note III)
4. Average rated life of lamp	(Annex I, Note IV)
(Where no other information on the life of the lamp is given in the catalogue, this may be omitted).

ANNEX IV

The energy efficiency class of a lamp shall be determined as follows:

Lamps shall be classified in class A if:

• Fluorescent lamps without integral ballast

  (those requiring a ballast and/or other control gear to connect them to the mains)

  

• Other lamps

  

  where Φ is the lumen output of the lamp

  where W is the power input into the lamp in watts.

If a lamp is not classified in class A, a reference wattage W_R shall be calculated as follows:

,	when Φ > 34 lumens
0,2 Φ,	when Φ ≤ 34 lumens

where Φ is the lumen output of the lamp.

An energy efficiency index E₁ is then set as

where W is the power input into the lamp in watts.

The energy efficiency classes are then set in accordance with the following table:

Energy efficiency class	Energy efficiency index E1
B	E1 < 60 %
C	60 % ≤ E1 < 80 %
D	80 % ≤ E1 < 95 %
E	95 % ≤ E1 < 110 %
F	110 % ≤ E1 < 130 %
G	E1 ≥ 130 %
