Eco-Design for Lighting – Understanding What’s Required

In 2021 the new Eco-design for lighting regulation was put in force; UK SI 2021 No 1095. This course has been developed to unpick the requirements of this legislation in an easy to digest way. If you are manufacturing, selling, or even retailing someone else’s LED lighting product, the chances are this will apply to you in one way or another.

This course has been developed by the Lighting Industry Association to better understand the requirements of this legislation in an easy to digest way. If you are asking any of the following questions, this course will help you:

How do I know if my product is legally compliant to Eco-design?

Do I need to put an energy label on my product?

Is my product exempt from this requirement?

Is my product a lightsource or a containing product?

Since this legislation came into force in 2021 there has been some confusion within the industry as to how to apply it correctly. Legislation can be a tricky read so we have done the hard part for you by identifying the objective of the legislation, how to work out if your product is legal, and what information you need to provide. When you attend the on-site training session at our Academy in Telford, we welcome you to bring samples of your product(s) so we can directly relate the Eco-design requirements to your product.
