9.3 CE labelling
The CE label on OSRAM DULUX ® packaging and on the declarations of conformity
indicates compliance with low-voltage guidelines (safety requirements in accordance
with EN 61199).
Here are some points to bear in mind about CE labelling:
The CE label is intended first and foremost for administrative authorities, not end users.
The CE label in mandatory for the sale of products that can be used independently within the EU.
It is purely an administrative label. It is not a seal of quality or approval mark.
The CE label is based on the declaration of conformity issues by manufacturers on their own
responsibility. It is not based on testing by a recognised independent inspectorate.
The CE label acts as a passport. It promotes free trade within Europe.
The European directive 245/2009 with respect to energy using products (ErP) is part of the CE
requirements starting March 2009.
9.4 Energy Efficiency Index
Commission Directive 98/11/EC: Energy labelling for Household Lamps: The EEI (Energy Efficiency
Index, e.g. EEI = A), also known as the „energy label“, classifies lamps according to their energy
efficiency (it does not relate to luminaires).
Directive 98/11/EC for implementing Directive 92/75/EEC has been in force since April 1998.
The seven classes are defined by certain limit values in lamp output. Lamps in class A are the most
efficient at converting electrical into light.
The classification of OSRAM DULUX ® lamps is given in the OSRAM Lighting Program.
