Scope

The Commission Directive 98/11/EC of 27 January 1998 implementing Council Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household lamps shall apply to household electric lamps supplied directly from the mains (filament and integral compact fluorescent lamps), and to household fluorescent lamps (including linear, and non-integral compact fluorescent lamps), even when marketed for non-household use.

Where an appliance can be taken apart by end users, for the purposes of this Directive the 'lamp' shall be the part(s) which emit(s) the light.

The following lamps shall be excluded from the scope of this Directive:
(a) those with a luminous flux of more than 6 500 lumens;
(b) those with an input power of less than 4 watts;
(c) reflector lamps;
(d) those marketed or commercialised primarily for use with other energy sources, such as batteries;
(e) those not marketed or commercialised primarily for the production of light in the visible range (400 to 800 nm);
(f) those marketed or commercialised as part of a product, the primary purpose of which is not illuminative. However, where the lamp is offered for sale, hire or hire purchase or displayed separately, for example as a spare part, it shall be included.

For lamps referred to in paragraph 2, labels and fiches may be provided in accordance with this Directive, provided that harmonised measurement standards applicable to such lamps have been adopted and published in accordance with Article 1 paragraph 4 of the Regulation.

Additional Information

Energy efficiency classes are defined in Annex IV of the Regulation.

The following information shall be included in the label:

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.
