LightingEurope fully supports two important EU funded and coordinated market surveillance actions between various Market Surveillance Authorities in Europe for LED lamps that are coordinated by PROSAFE and which are complementary; the EEPLIANT project on performance issues and “Joint Actions 2014” on safety issues.

EEPLIANT is a project on eco-design and energy labelling in which Market Surveillance Authorities from 12 EU countries* are carrying out coordinated monitoring, verification and enforcement activities for around 100 LED lamps types until June 2017.

LE is a member of the Advisory Board of EEPLIANT.

LED lamps are one of the three product categories selected by EEPLIANT; the other products are home & office printers and space and combination heaters.

* Participating countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

The joint Market Surveillance Actions on the EU General Products Safety Directive Products include as one of the five selected product categories LED lamps and CFL lamps. These actions are called “Joint Actions 2014” – JA2014. In this context Market Surveillance Authorities from 11 EU countries* are carrying out coordinated monitoring, verification and enforcement activities for around 70 LED & CFL lamps.
