6 Philips Lighting January 2009

It is clear that the next ew years are important or environmental

legislation* related to lighting. Some legislation already in orce will beupdated (e.g. WEEE, RoHS, EPBD, Energy Eiciency Label), some will

be evaluated to decide i they should be continued or not (Eco-label)

and newly published Directives (e.g. EuP and ESD) will be implemented

in the EU27 market, thus phasing out energy ineicient products and

orcing the EU27 market to switch to energy eicient lighting products.

1. The first five minutes


7/44


Philips and the European Lighting Industry (ELC, CELMA) support

all these legislations, because it will increase the application o valueadded lighting solutions. Special ocus should be paid to energy

eiciency, hazardous substances and lietime reliability. Environmental

legislation related to lighting already suraced more than a decade ago

but during the last years the amount o legislation related to lighting

has been increased mainly in the area o energy eiciency.

About 2/3 o all lighting currently installed in the world is based on

old technology, or which energy eicient alternatives are available

now. Environmental legislation oers unique opportunities to discuss

renovation o lighting with your customers.

When lighting renovation rates are increased, particular or the buildingsector and public lighting, both substantial energy savings as well as green

sales growth will result. The Accelerated Renovation Approach** aims to

achieve this by making our customers an oer they cant reuse; lighting

solutions that save energy and oer better quality o light at the same time.

A large part o our communication or the coming years will be ocused

on encouraging businesses to make the switch now to energy saving

lighting: it helps the business (by saving money and having good quality

light) while contributing to a better environment at the same time.


8/44


As Philips we bring a powerul and consistent message to the

market, across dierent channels and market segments. Thats whywe have developed a recognizable vehicle that will come back in

our communication linked to Green / energy saving. The vehicle is

a green soa. The idea behind this soa is that i you take a seat, you

make a statement to switch to energy saving lighting. People become

ambassadors that call to action: together we can make that change!

Understanding the environmental legislation and making the right

decisions will have an impact on your business. It is better to take

action now than to wait when the legislation will be enorced

because all the laws lead to better lighting.

Complying to environmental legislation means seeking or businessopportunities. Oering your customer the cheapest product means

satisying his initial needs, but tends to be a solution, which in the

longer term results into the most expensive solution.

Thereore we recommend buying Philips Green products,

and go or the Triple Win:

1. Users/tax payers save costs and obtain better light quality

2.The environment beneits rom lower energy/CO2 emissions

3. Business / country competitiveness is strengthened.


9/44


* More details on the EU27 legislation can be found in the Philips Lighting

Academy (PLA) module on environmental legislation.

** More details on the Accelerated Renovation Approach are available on the

Green Switch Intranet site: www.lighting.philips.com/greenswitch or ask your

local Philips Lighting contact person (for installers/external partners).


10/44


2. Suggestions on how to use environmental

arguments in sales discussions

In the last years environment (climate change) and energy eiciency(scarcity, compatibility) are high on the political agenda. This resulted in

a number o existing and orthcoming legislations on energy eiciency in

general but also on lighting in speciic. This legislation can be used as an

additional argument to convince customers to switch to energy eicient

and sustainable lighting solutions next to TCO and lighting requirements.

O course the irst sales argument will be that customers should always

be in line with the lighting norms or indoor (EN-12464-1) and outdoor

(EN-13201) which are also included in this booklet.


11/44


The process

First check if your customer is aware of environmental legislationand i they have an ISO14001 certiicate or a sustainability program

If yes, ask what they do to be in compliance with legislation, their

ISO-14001 improvement plan or sustainability objectives, and what

the consequences are or their lighting systems.

If no, explain them that compliance to legislation helps them to

improve the lighting and what they can do to become compliant

(you can use this booklet but also the PLA module on EU27

environmental legislation).

Offer them a scan to evaluate the compliance and show them a

number o products that are the best solution and outperorm existing

legislation and competition. These are the so-called Green Products. Next to being in line with legislation, these products are the most

economical solution and provide optimal quality light which make them

the best sustainable solution with respect to planet (environment),

people (quality light) and proit (TCO)


12/44


Oer

Environmental scan (to check conformity existingproducts with legislation)

Declaration of conformity to environmental legislation

Carbon footprints (especially interesting for governmental

customers and commercial organizations with a

sustainability program)

ISO14001 improvement and sustainability programs

can include next to compliance with legislation

Carbon neutrality

Green procurement

Environmental labeling(building codes, eco label)

Social responsibility

(well being or employees)


13/44


Be aware that compliance to legislation is seen as the absoluteminimum. This means compliance to minimum requirement

standards as expressed in or example the EuP and the RoHS.

All Philips products are in line with these requirements but our

Green Products are best in class and outperorm competition.

However there are also legislations such as the EPBD that

challenge building owners to become best in class.


14/44


3. RoHS Directive - 2002/95/EC

Restriction o the use o certain Hazardous Substances

in electrical and electronic equipment

Status - Implemented 1 July 2006 Revision 2009

new RoHS expected 2010

Aim o legislation

This legislation complements the WEEE Directive by cutting

the amounts o potentially hazardous materials contained in

electronic and electrical products.

Reduces risks to recycling staff.

Lowers liability and prevents end users from coming into

contact with hazardous substances.

Minimizes the need for special waste treatment and

recycling equipment.

Minimizes pollution due to less use of substances.

Helps to cut overall WEEE costs.


15/44


Key RoHS points:

The use in lighting products o the ollowing substances

has been restricted:

Lead (Pb)

Mercury (Hg)

Hexavalent Chromium (Cr VI)

Cadmium (Cd)

Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)

Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

What does it mean or Lamps, Gear and Luminaires?

The RoHS directive covers lamps, gear and luminaires and together

with the WEEE directive will have a signiicant impact on reducing the

quantities o hazardous substances coming into the environment.

Be aware that in the RoHS legislation, in contrast to the WEEE

legislation, ilament lamps are also included.

There are some lighting exemptions in the legislation or both mercury

and lead based on current industry levels o these substances (see table

below). This is due to the act that some mercury is needed to allowgas discharge lamps to operate eiciently and a lack in some cases o

industrial technical alternatives in lead or certain product categories.

One key consequence o the RoHS legislation should be the restriction

o poor quality products. Philips, with its commitment to apply Ecodesign

in its innovations, will exceed these new standards.

Lighting exemptions in the RoHS directive:


17/44


Related sales arguments

All Philips Lighting products are compliant. Conformity declarations

are available on request.

Our MASTER fluorescent lamps contain industry leading low levels

o mercury. You will recognize these by the ollowing logos*on

the packaging. These products it perectly or companies with an

environmental and sustainability policy, as well as or companies that

are ISO14001 certiied.

The absolute content of hazardous substances is not always the most

important value. For example the mercury content over lifetime can bea more important driver to select longer lietime reliable products such

as MASTER TL-D Xtra and Xtreme.

Note: Mercury is still needed to create energy efficient lighting using discharge

technology (such as fluorescent lamps). There are several reasons why Philips has

very low values of mercury such as a reliable manufacturing processes resulting inthe low mercury consumption during life.

4. WEEE Directive - 2002/96/EC

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Status - Implemented

WEEE should have oicially been implemented on 13-08-2005, and now

it is implemented in all EU 27 countries + 2 (Norway and Switzerland).

Aim o legislation

The purpose o the directive is to prevent waste or to reduce it by

re-using or re-cycling. The basic premise o the directive is that the

producer is responsible or the inancing o environmentally sound

disposal o his products at the end-o-lie stage. The environmental

background is the rapid increase o WEEE waste, the hazardous

component content and the insufficient recycling effort at the moment.

Key points WEEE

Manufacturers and importers of electronic and electrical equipment

are responsible or compensating the collection, recovery and

treatment o WEEE costs.

Consumers can return their products free of charge to the

collection points.

Only licensed operators will be able to handle and recover WEEE.


19/44


What does it mean or lighting?

The WEEE covers all Gas discharge lamps. Control Gear is seen as an

integral part o the luminaire. The products that are covered under theWEEE can be recognized by a crossed-out wheeled dustbin label*.

In all EU27+2 countries, ELC lamp manuacturers work together to

set up collective recycling and service organizations. For lamps, Philips

puts a visible lat ee on the invoice to inance the disposal structure.

For gear and luminaires each country has a specific solution. These

service organizations take over the producer responsibility. Philips is a

member and in some countries chairman o this service organization.


The WEEE fee is a significant part of the lamp purchase price especially

or low quality lamps with a short lietime such as a halophosphateluorescent lamp. There is no ee dierentiation between dierent type

o lamps under the scope o the directive. The longer the lietime the

lower the impact o the WEEE ee but also the amount o waste.

Philips has a full range of long-life time reliable products such as the

MASTER TL-D Xtra/Xtreme and MASTER PL-L Xtra

LEDs have the longest lifetime of all existing lighting products and they

are also not covered by WEEE. Thus are LEDs the best choice with

respect to the lowest waste impact regarding costs and material.

5. EuP Directive - 2005/32/EC

Framework directive or the setting o Ecodesign

requirements or Energy using Products

Status - Published

The EUP Directive was published on 22 July 2005. Member states have

transposed (i.e. adopted) it into national law.

In 2008, two speciic underlying Implementing Measures (IM) on lighting

have been voted positively by the Regulatory Committee (RC): the IM

on Tertiary Sector Lighting and the IM on Domestic Lighting (phase 1).

For both IMs entry into force is expected in Q1 2009.

During 2009 the IM on Domestic Lighting (phase 2) will be designed

and voting in the RC is expected in Q4 2009.

Aim o legislation

The EUP Directive is aiming at reducing the environmental impact o

energy using products without obstacles to intra-EU trade.

The Implementing Measures set the energy eiciency criteria o new

products and are immediately valid in all Member states as rom their

publication in the European Gazette, and no transposition is needed.

The EuP will phase out a number of energy inefficient products

within the near uture. It makes no sense to sell new lighting systems

including this such as HPL based luminaires that will need to be

renovated on very short notice and thus imposing additional costs.

Thereore it is recommended to ocus on selling lighting systems

consisting o products in line with the uture EuP requirements.

Products that will be phase out are: halophosphate TL lamps, low

eicient metal halides lamps, low eicient High Pressure Sodium

lamps, CFL-ni 2-pin lamps, EM gear for fluorescense, High PressureMercury lamps, incandescent lamps, low eicient halogen lamps

(see also tables above).

Products that will are in line with the EUP Directive are electronic

gear and controls, as well as lamps like CosmoPolis as alternative

or HPL, MASTER TL-D Eco and MASTER TL5 as alternative or

halophosphate TL lamps, and CFL-I, MASTER classic and MASTER

LED as alternative or incandescent lamps and low eicient halogen

lamps. These products also make business sense thanks to their

energy cost savings (TCO), optimal lighting quality, lietime reliability

and minimized use o hazardous substances.


26/44


27/44


Key Building directive points:

The directive concerns residential and tertiary sector (oices, public

buildings, etc.). The minimum useul loor area has to be more than

1000 m2. Renovated buildings have to comply as well i the renovation

content is higher than 25% o the total value o the building.

It does not concern historical buildings and industrial sites.

It does not lay down criteria on equipment such as household

appliances, nor on qualiications o installations.

It offers a common methodology for calculating the integrated energy

perormance o buildings and systems or energy certiications that

are less than ive years old.

The methodology should include all aspects of energy consumption

such as heating, cooling, lighting position and orientation o the

building, heat recovery, etc.

Minimum total building criteria will be set by national legislation.

This means that individual solutions have to be summated and

be averaged over the total. The energy use o energy eicient

installations can compensate or less energy eicient installations

in the same building.

Since for lighting the application performance requirements

(EN 12464) are not made mandatory by the Building Directive,

it is still possible to install under perorming systems.

Some countries have specific national regulations enforcing light

technical perormance standards or speciic applications.

The envisaged update of the Building Directive may further

strengthen the requirements and broaden its scope.


28/44



Lighting has to compete with other energy consuming products in

buildings and their potential or reducing energy use. It is important toexplain the beneits o energy eicient lighting both in energy reduction

and as cost savings. This means that HF gear, controls, and systems such

as TL5 all become more attractive.


The EPBD is not implemented and enorced in most o the member

states so not many end users are aware how to comply and how

to balance the opportunities or lighting with respect to the other

elements in this legislation. Explain them the beneits o energy

eicient lighting and how it can contribute to achieve a high

classiication level in a cost eective way. The first step to comply to the EPBD is to perform an energy

scan to deine the energy classiication and a lighting scan including

a LENI calculation.

To decrease the LENI and to contribute to the highest EPBD class

advice Green Products such as MASTER TL5 lamps, Controls and

Electronic ballasts.

Certification and energy efficient lighting will increase the value

o the building.

High quality lighting will be stimulated by addressing compliance

to Light technical perormance standard EN 12464.


29/44


30/44


7. Ballast Directive 2000/55/EC

Energy Eiciency requirements or ballasts or luorescent

lighting

Status Implemented will become part o EuP and repealed

as separate directive

Phase 1: ban on EEI D-class ballasts per 21-5-2002

Phase 2: ban on EEI C-class ballasts per 11-2005

Phase 3: all the contents will be included in EUP Implementing

Measures Tertiary Sector Lighting as per stage 2 (February 2010)

and repealed (i.e. deleted) as separate Directive

Aim o legislation

Promote energy savings through moving away rom less energy eicientballasts by limiting the ballast losses.

Key points:

Ballasts are classified through an Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) A1, A2,

A3, B1, B2, C and D, where A1 is the most energy eicient due to

dimming acility and D the least energy eicient.

Compliance to the Ballast Directive is, like the Low Voltage Directive

and the EMC Directive, shown by the application o the CE marking.

This means that luminaires imported rom outside Europe must

comply with the directive as well.


31/44


The Ballast Directive is only for fluorescent lamps (TL, CFL-NI).

Ballasts with high losses are phased out in two steps (D-class by

21-5-2003and C-class by 11-2005).


As 50% o sales are C-class ballasts, this directive is a huge opportunity

to switch to electronic ballast (A-class) and related control systems.

It should also help restrict low quality cheap imports rom outside the

EU. Electromagnetic ballasts (B-class) are also allowed, but this category

is more expensive and larger than C and D-class.

Sales arguments

Only B and A-type ballast are allowed. Advise to change the luminaire

as it is not economical viable to change the ballast due to high labour

costs. Additional beneits are better optimal perormance and thepossibility to integrate day light linking and presence detection to

save even more energy.

In case of upgrading, selecting an A1-class electronic ballasts is the

best choice due to better energy eiciency and maximized energy

savings through dimming and the use o controls (up to 30% saving by

switching rom EM to Electronic and up to 75% by using controls).

Additional benefits of electronic ballasts are longer lamp life, no

licker and no end-o-lie eects.


32/44


8. ESD Directive - 2006/32/EC

Directive on the promotion o end use eiciency and

energy services

Status - Published 2006 Implemented 2008

It has been implemented as national legislation in 2008.

Aim o legislation

Energy consumption in the EU is 20% higher than can be justiied

economically. The ESD requires Member States to make 3 National

Energy Eiciency Action Plans (NEEAP) (in 2007, 2011, 2014) to save

9% o energy in 9 years. In additional there is a Political Agreement

(March 2007) to go even beyond this legislation and save 20% energy

by 2020. The ESD also requires Energy Suppliers to implement energyeiciency measures.

This legislation emphasizes the need to apply all other existing

environmental legislation, as well as the new EUP directive. Where

the EUP Directive ocuses on the demand side (new products), the

ESD applies to distribution and retail sale o energy such as electricity

and other types o energy carriers, the public procurement and the

role o governments, auditing o installations and unding mechanisms

or renovations.


33/44


Key points Energy Service & Eiciency directive:

Eliminate barriers that prevent efficient end use of energy by targetsetting, set up o incentives, inancial and legal rameworks.

Develop a market for energy services and providing energy-saving

programs and other measures to improve end-use energy eiciency.

A general savings target of 1% per year (for a 9-year period) supplied

or sold to end-users (based on previous ive year average).

A mandatory target of 1.5% in the public sector through

procurement, energy programs and other measures.

Targets should be met by

Financial instruments, like third party contracts and energy

perormance contracts Purchase of equipment with good energy efficiency and

low-energy products

Energy distributors that sell electricity should

Supply and promote energy services

Refrain activity that could hamper energy efficiency

Supply information to improve energy efficiency

Member states must also take care that inancial instruments are put

into place including certiication, monitoring and auditing systems.


34/44


What will it mean or lighting?

Due to lobby eorts, lighting (renovation) projects are mentioned in

nearly all National Energy Eiciency Action Plans.It is also o interest to electricity suppliers, because it is one o the

cheapest and astest ways to realize energy savings related to the

obligations above mentioned.


The UK Energy Efficiency Commitment is one of the systems that fit

in the ESD, where large amounts of CFL lamps are sold to electricity

suppliers (so-called PES business). The ESD and the UK best practice

will be a unique opportunity to roll out this approach all over Europe

to promote energy eicient lighting as a vehicle or the public sector

to achieve their targets. It is a unique opportunity to sell energy efficient lighting solutions

to utilities not only in the domestic domain but also at proessional

end users.

Partnerships with Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) can be a

good way to help energy companies to comply to the ESD with

the help o lighting.

You can also offer to use the energy scan that the energy companies

can use to make their customers aware o their saving potential.


35/44


36/44


9. Energy Efficiency Label - 98/11/EC

Status - Implemented Revision 2009

Update o the council Directive 92/75/EC with regard to energyeiciency labeling o household lamps.

Aim o legislation

Stimulate the market to buy more energy eicient products by making

categories in energy eiciency classes and make them available in a

label on the packaging.

Key points:

Ratings for lighting are defined as energy efficiency class A

(most energy eicient) to G (least energy eicient).

Classes are calculated using lumen output and lamp power input(see annex IV o the directive).

The label must be put on the packaging and communicated in mail

order catalogues and other printed material. This should contain the

ollowing inormation:

Energy efficiency class

Luminous flux of the lamp

Input power

Average rated lamp life

See for label dimensions Annex 1 of the directive


37/44



Product scope: Filament and integral compact fluorescent lamps and allluorescent lamps. The scope will be enlarged with all products in EUP

Excluded are:

Lamps with luminous flux > 6500 lumens

Lamps with input power < 4W

Reflector lamps

Lamps operated on batteries

Light outside visible range (400 to 800 nm)

Lamps integrated in luminaire not for illumination

Related sales arguments Compliance to the EEL is applying the right marking not the choice

in the EEL class.

Use category A and B, as the most energy eicient range o products,

not only good or the environment but. in line with the orthcoming

EuP phase out o incandescent lamps and also the lowest running costs.


38/44


10. Light Technical Performance Standard -

EN 12464-1: for indoor applications.

Status published in 2003 to accommodate to the Workplace

Directive on the protection o labour

This standard is not called up by European legislation. No obligatory

application is necessary. Some countries reer to this standard in their

regulations or some speciic applications.

Aim o the standard

Provide a minimum level o lighting so that people can perorm the

task as expected without excessive negative visual and health eects.

Key points:

The standard specifies minimum requirements for indoor

workplaces (sport accommodations excepted).

Ra>80 is required in ull time work areas.

T>4000 K in areas of medical attention and T>6000 where

colour inspection is needed (dentist, laboratories, pharmacies)

>200 lux at task area where people are present and >20 luxwhere people only occasionally present. Recommended values

are between 300 - 500 lux.


39/44



The standard aects colour rendering, colour temperature, light

levels glare and licker. It meets the needs or visual comort, saety

and perormance.

Related sales arguments Compliance to the norm means that lighting is meeting the minimum

values or good lighting with respect to colour rendering, amount o

light on the task, glare and uniormity.

All the green products comply to the norm, there are solutions

or 1-to-1 replacement and we can oer lighting plans.

Energy eicient solutions

For each customer segment an energy efficient lighting solution exists

already today (see also PLA module Lighting Solutions)


40/44


11. Light Technical Performance Standard -

EN 13201: for outdoor applications.

Status published in 2004

This standard is not called up by European legislation. No obligatory

application is necessary. Some countries on a voluntary base adopted

it putting its standards as mandatory to be ollowed or some speciic

applications.

Aim o the standard

Provide guidelines or lighting designers o road lighting installations by

describing visibility requirements or the sae use o roads.

This standard also aims to reduce or prevent obtrusive light in places

where it isnt needed (glare; light pollution, etc).

Key points:

To achieve the minimum required lighting for save traffic, both

socially and unctional.

The norm comes with lighting situations and converts these into

perormance requirements.

For road lighting the luminance (cd/m2), the overall and lengthwise

uniormity, the threshold increment (indication o the loss o visual

perormance due to perceived glare rom the lighting element) and

the surround ratio are relevant.

Especially in cities the vertical illuminance at buildings should not be

too high to prevent complaints rom inhabitants. Limits are set.
