Basic introductionFrom January 1, 2011, ENERGY STAR enforces a third-party verification system. Products must be tested by third-party laboratories and certification bodies accredited by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in order to be authorized to affix the ENERGY STAR logo. ITL is an optical laboratory accredited by NVLAP(LAB CODE:600199) and an EPA-recognized laboratory of ENERGY STAR Program. ITL provides comprehensive solutions for Energy Star certification of LED and CFLs lighting products, US Department of Energy (DOE), US California Energy Commission (CEC), European Energy-related Products Directive (ErP Directive), Australian Energy Efficiency (MEPS) ), and other relevant energy efficiency and performance tests.Test Projects & TrainingEnergy Star Test (ENERGY STAR®) Lighting Design Alliance (DLC-Design Lighting Consortium) Solid-State lighting (IES LM-79, CIE 127) LED Package/Array/Module (IES LM- 80) Compact Fluorescent Lamps (IES LM-65, LM-66) Fluorescent Lamps (IES LM-9, IES LM-40) Photobiological Safety (IEC 62471, CIE S009)Integral LED Lighting SolutionsTest type and standardstesting item   Photoelectric performance: IES LM-79-19, CIE No.13.3-1995, ANSI C78.377-2008, ANSI C82.772002Correlated Color TemperatureChromaticity CoordinatesColor Rendering IndexPower factorTotal Luminous FluxLuminous EfficacyColor spatial uniformityLuminous intensity distributionLumen Maintenance of LED Light Sources: IES LM-80-20≥6000HSafety: UL8750, UL1993safetyElectromagnetic Interference FCC: FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15FCC   Other Requirements: ANSI C78.5-2003, ANSI C79.1-2002, CIE No.18.2-1983, ANSI C78.20-2003, ANSI C62.41-1991Ambient TemperatureRapid-Cycle Stress TestTransient ProtectionAudible NoiseMinimum Operating TemperatureAllowable Lamp BasesLED Operating FrequencyOperating VoltageMaximum lamp diameterMaximum overall lengthLED Lighting SolutionsTest type and standardstesting item  Photoelectric performance: IES LM-79-19, CIE No.13.3-1995, ANSI C78.377-2008, ANSI C82.772002Correlated Color TemperatureChromaticity CoordinatesColor Rendering IndexPower factorTotal Luminous FluxLuminous EfficacyColor spatial uniformityLuminous intensity distributionLumen Maintenance of LED Light Sources: IES LM-80-20≥6000H (If the lamp bead has an IES LM-80 test report, this test is not required)Safety: UL1310, UL1598, UL1993, UL153, UL8750safetyElectromagnetic Interference FCC: FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15FCC  Other Requirements: ANSI C78.5-2003, ANSI C79.1-2002, CIE No.18.2-1983, ANSI C78.20-2003, ANSI C62.41-1991Source Start TimeRise time Source Run-Up TimeDimming RequirementsTransient ProtectionAudible NoiseMinimum Operating TemperatureCase Temperature Thermal PerformanceOff-State Power ConsumptionOperating FrequencyCFLs Lamp SolutionsTest type and standardstesting itemPhotoelectric performance: IES LM-79-19, CIE No.13.3-1995, ANSI C78.377-2008, ANSI C82.772002Correlated Color TemperatureColor Rendering IndexPower factorTotal Luminous FluxLuminous Efficacy1,000-hour Lumen Maintenance: IES LM-65, ANSI C78.51000HLumen Maintenance at 40% of Rated Life: ANSI C78.5Lumen Maintenance at 40% of Rated Life: ANSI C78.5Rated Life Average Rated Lamp Life: IESNA LM65, ANSI C78.5≥6000HOther Requirements: ANSI C78.5-2003, ANSI C79.1-2002, CIE No.18.2-1983, ANSI C78.20-2003, ANSI C62.41-1991Ambient TemperatureSafety: UL1310safetyElectromagnetic Interference FCC: Part 15, Part18FCC Other Requirements: FCC 47 CFR including Part 2 and Part 18, ANSI C78.5, ANSI/IEEE C62.41Source Start TimeRise time Source Run-Up TimeTransient ProtectionAllowable Lamp BasesRapid-Cycle Stress TestOperating FrequencyMaximum Mercury ContentSingle optical solutionTest type and standardstesting itemHong Kong Voluntary LED Lighting Energy Star CertificationAll Energy Star projects   IES LM-79-19Correlated Color TemperatureChromaticity CoordinatesColor Rendering IndexPower factorTotal Luminous FluxLuminous Efficacycolor spatial uniformityLuminous intensity distributionIES LM-80-20≥6000HLighting Facts LabelsCorrelated Color TemperatureChromaticity CoordinatesColor Rendering IndexPower factorTotal Luminous FluxLuminous EfficacyErPLED lightsTraditional lampIntegrating Sphere--Spectroradiometer Method  Optical parametersDistributed Spectroradiometer MethodSpectrophotometerImaging Photometer

Basic introductionOver the past decade, innovative lighting technologies such as LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) have gained increasing acceptance as an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional light bulbs. Increased awareness among manufacturers and consumers is the driving force behind pushing the limits of technology further. We can provide comprehensive energy efficiency testing and certification services for your lighting products based on regulatory requirements, industry and standard requirements, and your specific requirements. New CE for lighting productsEuropean CE related directives for lighting products: - Low Voltage Directive (Directive 2014/35/EU) - Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (Directive 2014/30/EU)                            - Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Directive (ERP) (2009/125/EC) and Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 (2009/125/EC) 1 ) Ecodesign Requirements for Light Sources and Independent Controls Regulation (EU) 2019/2020 2 ) Light Source Energy Labelling Regulation (EU) 2019/2015- Restriction of use of specific hazardous properties RoHS 2.0 2011/65/EUEnergy labelFollowing the rescaling of the EU energy label for light sources from 1 September 2021, the new labels use a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Because of the constant improvement in energy efficiency, most products under the original label had risen to A+ or A++ and so a rescaling was made in order to be clearer to the consumer about which are the most efficient products on the market. [NB Existing stocks with the old label may still be sold in shops until 1 March 2023.] The labels provide information on the product’s· energy efficiency class· energy consumption The European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL) offers detailed information on models placed on the EU market by scanning the QR code featured on the new energy labels. The database provides information such as the luminous flux, color temperature and cap type.The legal framework is Regulation on energy labelling for light sources (EU) 2019/2015 that repeals and replaces Regulation (EU) No 874/2012. Ecodesign requirementsRules on ecodesign for lighting products are mandatory for all manufacturers and importers wishing to sell their products in the EU. From 1 September 2021, the Regulation for ecodesign requirements for light sources and separate control gears (EU) 2019/2020 repeals and replaces Regulation (EC) 244/2009, Regulation (EC) 245/2009 and Regulation (EU) 1194/2012.US ENERGY STAR The current energy star certification projects of our lighting products: 1 ) ENERGY STAR Program Requirements Product Specification for Lamps (Light Bulbs) Eligibility Criteria Version 2.1 2 ) ENERGY STAR Program Requirements Product Specification for Luminaires (Light Fixtures) Eligibility Criteria Version 2.2
