Interpretation of the new version of the EU ErP certification EU2019/2020 standard

At present, ErP has issued new regulations (ErP Regulations (EU) 2019/2020 for Lighting Products and Energy Efficiency Labelling Regulations (EU) 2019/2015) on 5^th December, 2019. The new regulations have come into effect on 25^th December, 2019. That is, from 25^th December, 2019, you can apply for the ErP of the new regulations. The new regulations will be enforced on 1^st September, 2021. It means from 1^st September, 2021, all products must be applied for in accordance with the new regulations. , The old regulations EC 244/2009, EC 245/2009, EU 1194/2012 and the energy efficiency label regulation EU 874/2012 are simultaneously invalidated.

Implementation timeline of the new version of ErP:
New ErP Directive (EU) 2019-2020@2019.12.05
Effective time of the regulations: 25^th , December, 2019
Regulation implementation time:01^st, September, 2021
The old regulations and their expiry time: (EC)244/2009, (EC)245/2009&(EU)1194/2012 will become invalid from 01^st, September, 2021.

The scope of application of the new Erp:
1. Light source;
2. Products containing light source and driver;
3. Independent drive (only for (EU) 2019/2020;

Energy efficiency requirements:
1. Light source power consumption;
2.Pon≤Ponmax;
3. Independent control device efficiency;
4. No-load power and standby power;

Performance requirements:
1. Color rendering
2. Phase shift factor
3. Lumen maintenance rate
4. Survival rate
5. Color consistency
6. Flicker test

The main differences between the new version of the ErP EU 2019/2020 directive and the old version of the directive:
1. The scope of application has been increased for household appliances, furniture and other products with lights;
2. Change the calculation of energy efficiency from EEI index back to Ponmax, increase the factor of color rendering index, and improve the requirements of energy efficiency;
3. Add stroboscopic test: SVM, Pst LM;
4. Increase the power consumption requirements of the network control network standby;5. Increased the requirement of drive energy conversion efficiency;
5. The switching cycle test, start-up time, and warm-up time test are deleted;
6. Number of test samples: only 10 light sources and 3 drivers;
7. Endurance test is 3600 hours, of which the lighting time is 3000 hours, the test time is greatly reduced, but the requirement of luminous flux maintenance rate is greatly improved.
8. The main differences between the new version of the energy efficiency label EU 2019/2015 directive and the old version of the directive:
9. The calculation of energy efficiency rating has been changed from EEI index to ηTM (lm/W), which is more intuitive;
10. The division of energy efficiency levels has been changed from Class A to Class G;
11. Higher energy efficiency requirements, such as the previous Class A++ is only equivalent to the current Class E.
