The new ErP regulation has come into force for all lighting products on 1st September 2021. LEDYi lighting is already ready!
What does the new ErP regulation contain?
- EU SLR – Single Lighting Regulation | Commission Regulation (EU) No 2019/2020 laying down ecodesign requirements for light sources and separate control gear. You can read the SLR in full here.
- EU ELR – Energy Labelling Regulation | Commission Regulation (EU) No 2019/2015 laying down energy labelling requirements of light sources. You can read the ELR in full here.

New energy efficiency requirements
EPREL: What lighting businesses need to know
Working with new energy labelling is now unavoidable for the lighting industry, so it’s worth familiarising yourself with its standard requirements for its use.
- New energy labels cannot be publicised prior to 1st of September 2021
- ALL applicable products, either on the market or intended to be placed onto the market, must be registered in the EPREL database if intended for the EU marketplace
- ALL applicable products, either on the market or intended to be placed onto the market, must have the new energy rating label, suitable for the EU market and/or UK market
- Energy Related Products (ERP) must be compliant to their respective efficiency regulations – for lighting – if it’s in scope – that’s the SLR.
- As of 1st September, 2021, ONLY SLR compliant products can be placed on the market, or if already placed on the market they may continue to be saleable.
- Data within the EPREL database must be fully complete in order for the item to be published as live – and therefore considered saleable.
- Products on the market with incomplete EPREL registrations will be deemed non-compliant by market surveillance.
You can use the EPREL to register products here.
