2. VERIFICATION PROCEDURE FOR LED MODULES NOT INTENDED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE LUMINAIRE BY THE END-USER U.K.

For the purposes of the tests described below, Member States’ authorities shall obtain test units of the same model from the same manufacturer (of LED modules or luminaires, as applicable), where possible in equal proportion from randomly selected sources. For points (1), (3) and (5) below, the number of sources shall be at least four where possible. For point (2), the number of sources shall be at least four where possible, unless the number of luminaires necessary to obtain by extraction 20 LED modules of the same model is less than four, in which case the number of sources is equal to the number of luminaires needed. For point (4), if the test on the first two luminaires fails, the next three to be tested shall come from three other sources where possible.

Member States’ authorities shall apply the following procedure in the order given below, until a conclusion regarding the compliance of model(s) of the LED module(s) is reached, or they conclude that testing cannot be performed. ‘Luminaire’ refers to the luminaire containing the LED modules, and ‘test’ refers to the procedure described in part 1 of this Annex, except in point (4). If testing according to both points (1) and (2) is allowed in the technical documentation file, the authorities may choose the most appropriate method.

(1) If the technical documentation file of the luminaire provides for testing the whole luminaire as a lamp, the authorities shall test 20 luminaires as lamps. If the model of the luminaire is considered to comply, the model(s) of the LED module(s) shall be considered to comply with the requirements laid down in this Regulation. If the model of the luminaire is considered not to comply, the model(s) of the LED module(s) shall be considered not to comply either. U.K.

(2) Otherwise, if the technical documentation file of the luminaire allows for the removal of the LED module(s) for testing, the authorities shall obtain enough luminaires to obtain 20 copies of each incorporated LED module model. They shall follow the instructions of the technical documentation file to dismantle the luminaires and test each LED module model separately. The conclusion regarding the compliance of the model(s) of the LED module(s) shall follow from the test(s). U.K.

(3) Otherwise, if according to the technical documentation file of the luminaire, the luminaire manufacturer obtained the incorporated LED module(s) as individual CE marked product(s) from the Union market, the authorities shall obtain 20 copies of each LED module model from the Union market for testing and test each LED module model separately. The conclusion regarding the compliance of the model(s) of the LED module(s) shall follow from the test(s). If the model(s) are not available any more on the Union market, market surveillance cannot be performed. U.K.

(4) Otherwise, if the luminaire manufacturer did not obtain the incorporated LED module(s) as individual CE marked products from the Union market, the authorities shall request the luminaire manufacturer to deliver a copy of the original test data of the LED module(s) showing that the LED module(s) comply with the requirements applicable to: U.K.

• all LED modules in Table 5 of this Regulation,

• if they are directional LED modules, in Tables 1 and 2 of this Regulation,

• if they are non-directional LED modules, in Tables 1, 2 and 3 of Regulation (EC) No 244/2009.

If according to the test data, any of the LED module model(s) in the luminaire do not comply with the requirements, the model(s) of the LED module(s) shall be considered not to comply.

Otherwise, the authorities shall dismantle a single luminaire to check that the LED module(s) in the luminaire are the same type as described in the test data. If any of them is different or cannot be identified, the model(s) of the LED module(s) shall be considered not to comply.

Otherwise, the switching cycles, premature failure, starting time and warm-up time requirements of Table 5 shall be tested on another luminaire operated at its rating. During operation of the luminaire at its rated values, the temperature of the LED module(s) shall be also tested against the defined limits. If the results of the tests (other than on premature failure) vary from the limit values by more than 10 %, or the luminaire failed prematurely, three more luminaires shall be tested. If the averages of the results of the subsequent three tests (other than those relating to premature failure and to operating temperature) do not vary from the limit values by more than 10 %, none of the luminaires failed prematurely, and the operating temperature (in °C) is within 10 % of the defined limits in all three of them, the model(s) of the LED module(s) shall be considered to comply with the requirements. Otherwise, they shall be considered not to comply.

(5) If testing according to points (1) to (4) is not possible because no independently testable LED modules can be distinguished in the luminaire, the authorities shall test the switching cycles, premature failure, starting time and warm-up time requirements of Table 5 on a single luminaire. If the results of the tests vary from the limit values by more than 10 %, or the luminaire failed prematurely, three more luminaires shall be tested. If the averages of the results of the subsequent three tests (other than those relating to premature failure) do not vary from the limit values by more than 10 %, and none of the luminaires failed prematurely, the model(s) of the LED module(s) incorporated into the luminaire shall be considered to comply with the requirements laid down in this Regulation. Otherwise, they shall be considered not to comply. U.K.
