European Product Registry on Energy Labelling (EPREL)

Guidelines for the European Product Registry on Energy Labelling (EPREL)

LightingEurope is making available our members’ collective experience in how to apply the EPREL obligations to light sources. A first version of these guidelines was published in March 2019 and was reserved for our members only.
LightingEurope has received questions and requests for information about EPREL which we address in this version 2 of our guidelines and are making available to all companies.
All products in scope of the new EU ecodesign and energy labelling rules for light sources must be registered in the EPREL database before they can be placed on the market.
