Global Harmonisation of Product Quality • Requires governments to agree on performance levels and test methods • Government Regulation • Regulation requires set performance levels, • relevant test methods, and competent laboratories Approved lamp Lamp • Accredited Laboratories • Test methods • Performance requirements Traceability of calibration • Accreditation to perform test Establishes • Manufacturers • National Measurement Institute • National Accreditation Body • National Standards Body • International Bureau of Weights & Measures (BIPM) • International Laboratory Accreditation Schemes (ILAC, APLAC) • International Commission on Illumination (CIE) • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
Global Harmonisation of Product Quality • Requires governments to agree on performance levels and test methods RUSSIA • Government Regulation • Regulation requires set performance levels, • relevant test methods, and competent laboratories Approved lamp Lamp • Accredited Laboratories • Test methods • Performance requirements Traceability of calibration • Accreditation to perform test Establishes • Manufacturers • National Measurement Institute • National Accreditation Body • National Standards Body • International Bureau of Weights & Measures (BIPM) • International Laboratory Accreditation Schemes (ILAC, APLAC) • International Commission on Illumination (CIE) • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
RUSSIA • Government Regulation • Regulation requires set performance levels, • relevant test methods, and competent laboratories Sample of Approved Lamp Verified Lamp • Accredited Laboratories • Performance requirements • Test methods • Measurement & Verification program Traceability of calibration • Accreditation to perform test Establishes • National Measurement Institute • National Standards Body • National Accreditation Body
Harmonisation • Most effective and efficient regulation is through international harmonisation with established lamp performance requirements. This assists with • The speed of implementation • Keeping costs low for manufacturers’ lamp approvals. • Managing the demand on laboratories for product approval testing.
Phaseout of incandescent lamp • Need to consider impact on households • Affordability • Quality of light • Investment value of advanced technologies • Need to consider impact on effective enforcement • Identification of lamps • Cost effective monitoring and verification test method
Phaseout of incandescent proposal • Non-directional, clear lamps • Initially move to halogen (the low cost of the lamp addresses the affordability issue until prices drop for CFL and LED) • Non-directional, non-clear lamps • move to CFL and LED • (need to protect consumer by requiring a good quality product)
Stages of Incandescent Phaseout • Non-directional, clear lamps • Stage 1: announce impending ban on import and manufacture of non compliant lamps • Stage 2: ban on import and manufacture of non compliant lamps (MEPS is established) • Stage 3: ban on sale of non compliant lamps • Stage 4: review market profile and MEPS level
Stages of Incandescent Phaseout • Non-directional, non-clear lamps (CFL, LED) • Stage 1: announce impending ban on import and manufacture of non compliant lamps • Stage 2: ban on import and manufacture of non compliant lamps (MEPS is established) • Stage 3: ban on sale of non compliant lamps • Stage 4: participate in international reviews of MEPS levels contributing local market profile information
MEPS to consider for Harmonisation • MEPS for incandescent non-directional clear lamps • EU regulation (halogen) • MEPS non-directional, non-clear lamps (CFL and LED) • EU regulation (CFL & LED) • IEC standard (CFL) • IEA 4E-SSL Tier 1 (LED) • To monitor the market for lamp performances, sales quantities, prices and market anomalies (eg market shift to other lamp types)
Other lamps and gear • Phaseout Mercury Vapour (QE) lamps • Stage 1: Ban sale of fixtures with MV ballasts • Stage 2: Ban sale of MV lamps • Phaseout T8 halophophatelinear fluorescent tubes • Stage 1: Announce MEPS for T8 lamp • Stage 2: Ban sale of non-compliant T8 lamps
Other lamps and gear • Phaseout electromagnetic ballasts for linear fluorescent lamps • Stage 1: Announce ban sale of EM ballasts • Stage 2: Ban sale of EM ballasts (individually or within fixture)
Key Issues for discussion • Staging of MEPS implementation • Laboratories • Market monitoring • Financing mechanisms
Staging of MEPS implementation • Needs industry and government discussion on timetable for establishment of systems (regulatory, testing) and commercial transition for successful implementation
Laboratories • Certification • Internationally recognised accreditation • Testing capability • Capacity • Testing lamps for MEPS approval (mainly local manufacturers) • Involvement in verification programs
Market Monitoring • Critical to success of any regulation on Energy Efficient Lighting • Voluntary sales volumes data submission • Product benchmarking • Registration system of MEPS products • Price monitoring (affordability of technologies)
Example: Product benchmarking Lites.Aisa meeting Singapore, 1-2 November 2011
Example: Product benchmarking Reward Accept Ban Lites.Aisa meeting Singapore, 1-2 November 2011
Financing • Monitoring • Cost of establishment and maintenance of any database or system • Product benchmarking • Measurement, Verification and Enforcement • Cost of product purchase and sampling at point of sale • Cost of laboratory testing • Cost of enforcement
