European EUP Legislation for non-directional household lamps           
(EC) No 244/2009

Notes:

1. Special purpose lamps are excluded from efficacy requirements but require marking as detailed in the Regulation.
2. Dates relate to “placing on the market” - products in EU stock can continue to be sold.
3. The regulation is based on LUMENS levels.  Wattage values are for guidance only.
4. The Energy class is for guidance only. See note 5.
5. The regulation includes lamp specific correction factors.  These need to be applied to calculate the correct energy limits.
