DOE released bulb NOPR draft mandatory testing method

( Reading] In order to improve the light bulbs energy efficiency regulations, the U. S. department of energy ( DOE) On February 26, 2016 issued & amp; 宝贝, About the lamp test method proposed regulations notice ( NOPR) The draft version & amp; ”, , proposed. 。 。

in order to improve the energy efficiency regulations of bulb, the U. S. department of energy ( DOE) On February 26, 2016 issued & other; About the lamp test method proposed regulations notice ( NOPR) The draft version & throughout; , proposed in view of the general lighting bulbs ( GSL) The new test method. New test method for bill would more reference current IES and CIE standard. Specific file number is: EERE - 2016 - BT - TP - 0005] - - - - - - RIN 1904- AD64( 节能项目:测试程序对某些类别的通用服务灯) 。

standard definition: the GSL or General Service Lamps, incandescent lamp, CFLs, LED, OLED and other all can replace the traditional light bulb light bulb product. Scope of application: NOPR proposed test method is aimed at, other than incandescent light bulbs, LED, CFLs and regulations are not covered with E26 lamp holder ( 中基) The light bulb product. Mainly includes the initial luminous flux, and the input power, lights, power factor and standby power consumption test. At the same time, in order to better reflect the laws and regulations have been covered by the incandescent lamp, CFLs, and the performance of the LED bulbs, DOE also clarified the relevant test method and sample plan reference file. Testing methods: the current incandescent light bulbs, LED, CFLs, number of regulations and applicable DOE is as follows:

the upcoming test method Appendix CC to subpart B for no other bulb product is covered by existing regulations, DOE will develop new test methods. This method will be named the 10 CFR 430 Appendix CC to subpart B of Part 430, methods will be the reference of related standards, listing shown in the following table. Appendix CC will be detailed in the initial luminous flux, the input power, photosynthetic efficiency and power factor of the test methods. At the same time, the file also emphasized, new test method of standby power consumption will refer to the IEC 62301 standard.

laboratory requirements: a new method of testing laboratory must NVLAP endorsed. Supplementary information: DOE will also be released with this test method covers the product performance requirements of the corresponding laws and regulations: 10 cfr429. 57, lists the GSL products should meet the number of samples, claim information, performance requirements and RMS requirements. Comments and feedback: the NOPR draft version within 30 days from the date of publication, you can via E-mail, snail mail, express and way to DOE and bring forward comments and feedback. For the convenience of domestic customers, feedback email is: GSL2016TP0005 @ ee. doe. gov。 If the NOPR proposed test methods in the passage, the bill will be released in the formal effect within 30 days. Customer needs in accordance with the new method for testing as soon as possible, bill released after 180 days will have to provide test data according to the new method. NTEK advice DOE regulations is the mandatory certification requirements to enter the north American market, NOPR gives the reference standard and the main direction of the DOE formulated laws and regulations, also product design and performance requirements of the manufacturer to provide standard basis. NTEK will continue to focus on the progress of DOE updated regulations, to provide customers the most timely and effective information, ensure the smooth export north American market your product!
