Requirements o n Minimum Energy Performance Standard, Energy Efficiency Indication , and 
Inspection for Self-Ballasted Fluorescent Lamps  (Amendment Draft)  
 
Subject : Amendment  to the Requirements on Minimum Energy Performance Standard , 
Energy Efficiency Indication , and Inspection of  Self-Ballasted Fluorescent Lamps  (Draft) 
 
Legal Basis : Paragraph 4, Article 14 of the Energy Administration  Act 
Announcement : 
1. The Self-Ballasted Fluorescent L amps  (for general lighting services)  stated in this Announcement 
refer to those meeting the definition of self-ballasted  fluorescent lamps  in CNS 14125  and 
promulgated by the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) of the Ministry  of 
Economic Affairs (MOEA) as products requiring inspec tions.  
2. The testi ng of Self-Ballasted Fluorescent L amps  and the calculation thereof shall comply with 
the following requirements:  
The luminous efficacy of Self-Ballasted Fluorescent L amps  shall be tested in accordance with 
CNS 14125. The measured  value  shall be rounded off to the first decimal place.  The rated and 
measured value shall not be lower than the value specified in Table 1. The measured value shall 
be greater than  or equal to  95% of the rated  value of products.  
3. The rated  luminous efficacy shall be mark ed on  each individual unit  or the smallest package s of 
Self-Ballasted Fluorescent L amps . 
4. The Central Competent Authority may conduct annual product sampling in accordance with the 
Guidelines  for Energy Efficiency  Labeling Inspection and Energy Efficiency Sampling of 
Designated Energy Using Equipment and Devices while conducting the energy efficiency 
inspection. The model and  the quantity of  the testing sample s shall be designated by the Centr al 
Competent Authority, and the manufacturers shall deliver  product samples to the designated 
testing laboratories within the period  designated  by the Central Competent Authority . 
For products fail to meet  the requirements in  Item 2 in the testing under the preceding paragraph , 
the Central Competent Authority shall request the related manufacturers to re -submit the samples 
for re -testing. The quantity of the re-tested samples shall be twice  the sampling quantity of the 
products of th e same model  under the preceding paragraph . All the incurred cost s associated with 
the re -testing shall be borne by the manufacturers.  
If manufacture r fails to  conduct  the sampling or the  re-testing  per the preceding two paragraphs,  
or fails to  meet the en ergy efficiency requirements  completely in the re -testing , Article s 21 and 
24 of the Energy Administration Act  shall apply .
