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 halophophate linear 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)

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
