power consumed by the source.
[SOURCE: Regulation 245/2009 Annex II, 1.a)]
1.4.Z2
lamp lumen maintenance factor (LLMF)
ratio of the luminous flux emitted by the lamp at a given time in its life to the initial
luminous flux
[SOURCE: Regulation 245/2009 Annex II, 1.b)]
1.4.Z3
lamp survival factor (LSF)
fraction of the total number of lamps which continue to operate at a given time under
defined conditions and switching frequency

1.5.7 Before the text in 1.5.7, add a new header 1.5.7.Z1
1.5.7.Z1 General
After 1.5.7.Z1 add new subclauses 1.5.7.Z2 and 1.5.7.Z3
1.5.7.Z2 Chromaticity, correlated colour temperature and colour rendering index
The chromaticity coordinates and correlated colour temperature of an individual lamp
shall be calculated according to CIE 15 from a measurement made under the
conditions of Annex B.
The colour rendering index of an individual lamp shall be calculated according to
CIE 13.3 from a measurement made under the conditions of Annex B.
1.5.7.Z3 Efficacy
The efficacy of an individual lamp shall be calculated from a measurement of luminous
flux and power according to the conditions of Annex B.
1.5.8 Replace 1.5.8 with new subclauses 1.5.8.Z1 and 1.5.8. Z2
1.5.8.Z1 Lamp lumen maintenance factor
The lamp lumen maintenance factor of an individual lamp shall be calculated from
measurements of its luminous flux made at appropriate times according to the
conditions of Annex B. Lamp operation between these measurements shall be as
prescribed in Annex C.
1.5.8.Z2 Lamp survival
The survival of an individual lamp shall be determined by operating lamps under the
conditions prescribed in Annex C until the lamp fails to remain alight or delivers low
light output (in case of doubt, low light output refers to noticeably less than 50 % of
rated light output).
1.5.Z1 After 1.5.10 add a new subclause 1.5.Z1
1.5.Z1 Mercury content
The average mercury content shall be measured in accordance with the CV AAS
method as described in EN 62321-4. Lamp sample preparation shall be in accordance
with EN 62554.
Photometric characteristics shall be measured in accordance with EN 13032-1. For
determination of the centre beam intensity of reflector lamps, EN 61341 shall be used.

Annex ZZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the eco-design
requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 aimed to be covered

This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request M/495 to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to the ecodesign requirements of Commission Regulation
(EC) No 245/2009 of 18 March 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament
and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated
ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps,
and repealing Directive 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council [2009 OJ L76].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Commission
Regulation, compliance with the clauses of this standard given in Table ZZA.1 confers, within the limits
of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding ecodesign
requirements of that Regulation and associated EFTA regulations.
