The Taiwan Energy Agency (BOE) revised its order on “Energy Efficiency Standards and Labeling Methods for Energy Saving Labels for Indoor Lighting Lamps” at the end of August 2019, which took effect on September 1, 2020.
The revised edition is about energy efficiency test conditions and methods. The BOE has applied several parameters according to international standard for lighting and has also considered the requirements for updated national standards as follows.
– CNS 16027 G5/G13 on Double-capped LED lamps – Performance requirements
– CNS 15630 on Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting servicefs with supply voltages > 50V – Performance requirements
– CIE TN 006 on Visual Aspects of Time – Modulated Lighting Systems (led flicker testing)
– CNS 62931 GX16t-5 on Capped Tubular LED lamp – Safety specifications
– CNS 15592 on Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems
– CNS 15983 G5/G13 on Double-capped integrated LED lamps – Safety specifications
– CNS 15438 on Double-capped LED tubular lamps – Safety specifications
In addition to the amendments mentioned above, the BOE has requried manufacturers to enter information such as the lamp’s rated power, total luminous flux, color rendering index, color temperature, luminous efficiency and power factor index, photobiological safety, flicker index and flicker rate in the product catelog.
