EU ECODESIGN REQUIREMENTS AND EPREL
September 1, 2021, the European regulation on lighting equipment (module, lamps, control gear and luminaires) changed. The EPREL lighting database was introduced. A QR tag on product labels will enable customers to access this product data easily. Manufacturers and importers are obliged to upload different kinds of product information: Product model description, General information incl. energy consumption, energy label, technical documentation, etc.
The existing rules under Regulation (EU) 874/2012 are repealed and replaced by new energy labeling requirements for light sources under Regulation (EU) 2019/2015, the so-called ELR (Energy Label Regulation) on the energy labeling of light sources. It was amended on December 17, 2020 by Regulation (EU) 2021/340.
Similarly, Regulation (EU) 1194/2012 is replaced by Regulation (EU) 2019/2020 called SLR (Single Lighting Regulation). This regulation covers the functional and performance requirements for light sources and control gear. It was amended on February 23, 2021 by Regulation (EU) 2021/341.
Further amendment have been added in 2024 with Document 32024R0994.
