Certification project: ERP certification

The new version of the ERP directive EU2019/2020 of the EU lamps and lanterns will be implemented: 

The European Commission formulated the official version of the Eco-Design Regulations (EU) 2019/2020 for light sources and independent controllers on October 1, 2019, which was officially released on December 5, 2019, and will be compulsory on September 1, 2021. Repeal the original regulations (EC) 244/2009, (EC) 245/2009, (EU) 1194/2012, and implement the ErP directive (Directive 2009/125/EC). This regulation sets specific limit values, including: energy efficiency requirements, functional requirements and information requirements. KC certification 

Scope of application of ERP instructions:

1. Luminaires and light sources for lighting (not including LED chip replicas and LED packaging)

2. Independent controller 

Contents of EU2019/2020 revised and changed:

2. Reduce the number of samples for compliance test parameters (reduced from the original 20 samples to 10) 

3. Reduce the time of the test procedure (the burn-in test is reduced from the original 6000 hours to 3600 hours) 

4. A unified formula to calculate the energy efficiency of lighting products.

EU2019/2020 regulations do not apply to the following special-purpose products tested and certified:

1. In a potentially explosive environment

2. Emergency use

3. Radiological and nuclear medicine facilities

4. Inside or on military or civil defense facilities, equipment, ground vehicles, marine equipment or aircraft

5. Products on vehicles (bicycles, cars, ships, airplanes, traffic signals, etc.)

6. Medical devices contained in relevant European directives

7. Products that only use battery power, or solar products 

Special reminder: When LED light sources and lighting products are exported to Jordan, it is mandatory to provide RP energy efficiency reports and labels (reports must be issued by laboratories with ERP directive accredited qualifications).
