Green legislation

Green legislation

Environmental legislation on lighting is becoming increasingly stringent. From simple lamp replacements to complex renovations, we can help you comply.
Strict legislation is redefining our lighting requirements. Understanding the requirements and making the right decisions will have an impact on you legally, environmentally and financially. We're prepared for the change over with future-proof ways to help you comply.

EUP, EPBD and WEEE Directives

 

 

EuP Directive : The Energy using Product Directive will phase out energy inefficient lamps, luminaires and gear in the near future. Beat the deadline with our planet-friendly alternatives.

 

EPBD Directive: The Energy Performance Building Directive aims to improve the energy performance of buildings. Energy-efficient lighting can help you gain a high classification level that will increase the value of the building in a cost effective way.

 

WEEE Directive: The legislation aims to move away from less efficient ballasts – a great opportunity to switch to our electronic ballasts and benefit from longer lamp life. The Ballast Directive will be completely replaced by the EuP Directive on Tertiary lighting.

Ballast and EEL Directives

Ballast Directive: The legislation aims to move away from less efficient ballasts – a great opportunity to switch to our electronic ballasts and benefit from longer lamp life. The Ballast Directive will be completely replaced by the EuP Directive on Tertiary lighting.

 

EEL Directive: The Energy Efficiency Label is designed to make it easier to choose more energy-efficient products. The highest class also means higher quality standards. EEL helps to avoid the cost of poor quality products.

RoSH and EN 12464-1

RoHS: The RoHS Directive restricts the use of certain hazardous substances. Our products meet, and in many cases exceed, these new industry standards.

 

EN 12464-1: Lighting must ensure that people in the workplace are safe and able to perform their tasks. Our energy-efficient solutions will help you meet, or even exceed, the lighting requirements for visual comfort, safety and performance.
