6. International harmonization of SSL Performance
Requirements (1)
Why do we need international harmonization?
1. Take away international trade barriers
2. Governments need reliable performance data for:
- policy on CO2 reduction (G20 agreement)
- policy on Energy savings
- Consumer protection (quality assurance)

8. International harmonization of SSL
Performance Requirements (3)
Who is working on this?
International Energy Agency
International organization funded and supported by 28 countries to secure
and support energy supply and efficiency
Policy on Efficient Electrical End-Use Equipment
- Program 4E Solid State Lighting Annex:
“The goal of this annex is to develop simple measurement tools to help
government and consumers world-wide quickly and confidently identify
which SSL lighting products have the necessary efficiencies and quality
levels to effectively reduce the amount of energy that is currently
consumed by artificial lighting”

12. Standardization of SSL Testing (1)
Current international status!
There are only regional Test methods
(CHINA: GB/T xxxx-201x)
The Test methods are incomplete
often only LED lamps and LED luminaries
Solution is on its way!
IEA SSL program has developed and evaluated a draft Test method
>> to become a CIE/CEN standard
