Overview

Effective January 1, 2011, the EPA will require that all new submissions from manufacturers participating in the ENERGY STAR® program be reviewed by a Certification Body (CB), and that qualification testing be performed under specific criteria. Product qualification requires testing to be performed at EPA-recognized facilities. First-party (manufacturer) facilities can have their test results accepted by the EPA as a part of an approved CB data acceptance program.

Underwriters Laboratories has earned approval as a Recognized Certification Body (CB) with multiple Testing Laboratories, covering, but not limited to, the following lighting categories:

• Lamps (LED integral lamps, CFL self-ballasted lamps, etc.)
• Luminaires (commericial, industrial, residential, etc.)
• Decorative lighting strings

Please join UL's lighting experts, as we discuss:

• ENERGY STAR Evaluation and Verification Program Requirements
• Lab and Test Equipment needs for 2011 ENERGY STAR Requirements
• Streamlined Safety Certification and Energy Efficiency Evaluations – in your own lab.
• Proposed Changes to IES LM-79, IES LM-80
• Strategies to leverage ENERGY STAR in your global lighting business
• Real-Time EPA specification updates and critical dates

The US Department of Energy's (DOE's) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) dove into the reporting accuracy of commercially-available connected devices capable of self-reporting energy usage. The study showed variations across devices (not shown) and test conditions (shown). The results and technical recommendations in the report could assist stakeholders in specification and standards development. (Image credit: Illustration courtesy of PNNL.)
