Regulation (EC) No 244/2009 is amended as follows:
Article 2 is amended as follows:
Point (4) is replaced by the following:
applications where the primary purpose of the light is not lighting, such as
emission of light as an agent in chemical or biological processes (such as polymerisation, ultraviolet light used for curing/drying/hardening, photodynamic therapy, horticulture, pet care, anti-insect products);
image capture and image projection (such as camera flashlights, photocopiers, video projectors);
heating (infrared lamps);
signalling (such as traffic control or airfield lamps);
lighting applications where
the spectral distribution of the light is intended to change the appearance of the scene or object lit, in addition to making it visible (such as food display lighting or coloured lamps as defined in point 1 of Annex I), with the exception of variations in correlated colour temperature; or
the spectral distribution of the light is adjusted to the specific needs of particular technical equipment, in addition to making the scene or object visible for humans (such as studio lighting, show effect lighting, theatre lighting); or
the scene or object lit requires special protection from the negative effects of the light source (such as lighting with dedicated filtering for photosensitive patients or photosensitive museum exhibits); or
lighting is required only for emergency situations (such as emergency lighting luminaires or control gears for emergency lighting); or
the lighting products have to withstand extreme physical conditions (such as vibrations or temperatures below – 20 °C or above 50 °C);
Incandescent lamps longer than 60 mm are not special purpose lamps, if they are resistant only to mechanical shock or vibrations and are not incandescent traffic signalling lamps; or they possess a rated power higher than 25 W and claim to have specific features that are also present in lamps having higher energy efficiency classes according to Regulation (EU) No 874/2012 (such as zero EMC emissions, CRI value higher or equal to 95, and UV emissions less or equal than 2 mW per 1 000 lm);’
point (9) is replaced by the following:
Article 3 is replaced by the following:
1.Non-directional household lamps shall meet the ecodesign requirements set out in Annex II.
Each ecodesign requirement shall apply in accordance with the following stages:
Stage 1: 1 September 2009,
Stage 2: 1 September 2010,
Stage 3: 1 September 2011,
Stage 4: 1 September 2012,
Stage 5: 1 September 2013,
Stage 6: 1 September 2018.
Unless a requirement is superseded or this is otherwise specified, it shall continue to apply together with the other requirements introduced at later stages.
2.Special purpose lamps shall comply with the following requirements:
(a)If the chromaticity coordinates of a lamp always fall within the following range:
x < 0,270 or x > 0,530
y < – 2,3172 x2 + 2,3653 x – 0,2199 or y > – 2,3172 x2 + 2,3653 x – 0,1595;
the chromaticity coordinates shall be stated in the technical documentation file drawn up for the purposes of conformity assessment in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2009/125/EC, which shall indicate that these coordinates make them a special purpose lamp.
(b)For all special purpose lamps, the intended purpose shall be stated in all forms of product information, together with the warning that they are not intended for use in other applications.
The technical documentation file drawn up for the purposes of conformity assessment in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2009/125/EC shall list the technical parameters that make the lamp design specific for the stated intended purpose.
If needed, the parameters may be listed in such a way as to avoid disclosing commercially sensitive information linked to the manufacturer's intellectual property rights.
If the lamp is visibly displayed to the end-user prior to purchase, the following information shall be clearly and prominently indicated on the packaging:
the intended purpose;
that it is not suitable for household room illumination; and
the technical parameters that make the lamp design specific for the stated intended purpose.
The information in point (iii) can alternatively be provided inside the packaging.’
