This edition of the European Lighting Forum (ELF) will focus on LightingEurope’s recently finalised specific rules for light sources for general lighting. Following the successful publication of the revision of product specific rules for luminaire EPDs (PSR0014) and the programme operator neutral technical memorandum for life-cycle analysis for control gears, LightingEurope is excited to present the technical memorandum to aid in the creation of EPDs for general lighting light sources. 

During this webinar, LightingEurope’s experts will share their insights and present in detail the specific elements of the technical memorandum, such as the Functional Unit, the Reference Flow Description, or the Extrapolation Rules. 

Agenda will follow.

Below you find a selection of position papers from LightingEurope on EU Taxonomy, Circular Economy, Standardisation, Compliance Online, Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, and Artificial Light at Night. Happy reading!

EU Taxonomy

Link: Unlocking the Potential of Smart Lighting: Including Luminaire Manufacturing in the EU Taxonomy’s Climate Delegated Act

LightingEurope believes that it would be beneficial for both the environment and the industry if manufacturing of controllable LED-based luminaires - for both indoor and outdoor applications, such as road lighting, pedestrian and cycle lane lighting, among others - were explicitly mentioned as an enabling activity for Taxonomy Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation.

Circular Economy

Link: Joint Priorities for the Circular Economy Act

LightingEurope and several industry associations call for an effective and simpler Circular Economy Act.

Standardisation

Link: On the use of lighting product standards in Europe Updated June 2025 Original November 2024

This Guidance and Information paper is designed to help manufacturers in the selection of standards, the preparation and maintenance of the technical file and Declaration of Conformity for placing the product on the market. It can also be used as guidance by Market Surveillance authorities for checking conformity considering the option chosen by the manufacturer.

Compliance Online

Link: Closing the loopholes: A call for stronger EU rules for safer and fairer eCommerce

70 environmental and consumer protection NGOs, industry, retail and wholesale organisations, are calling on EU policymakers to urgently address persistent regulatory loopholes in relation to online trade via online marketplaces.

Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

Link: Zoning of automatic lighting controls in buildings

With this paper, we highlight the specificities and capabilities of lighting controls systems and their contributions to energy efficient buildings and Indoor Environmental Quality.

Link: Recommendations to determine the GWP Impact of lighting installations in buildings

The purpose of this position paper is to provide a recommendation on the calculation of the total GWP of lighting installations in buildings, emphasizing the importance of recognising EN15193-1 as the basis for the calculation of the operational GWP for lighting installations in buildings.

Link: Implementation of the EPBD – Lighting as part of Renovations

With this paper, we would like to underscore that all building renovations must address lighting and share our recommendations for the implementation of the related requirements at the national level.

Link: The implementation of the EPBD – Lighting as part of Indoor Environmental Quality

LightingEurope welcomes the introduction of Indoor environmental quality in the revised EPBD and urges the governments of EU Member States to be ambitious in the implementation of the EPBD and to acknowledge the contributions of lighting to healthy buildings and indoor spaces.

Artificial Light at Night
 

Link: Position Paper on Artificial Light at Night (ALAN)

In this paper, LightingEurope calls for the introduction of harmonised European legislation regarding light at night, aiming to replace fragmented national regulations, support the implementation of quality outdoor lighting, and address any potential adverse effects on the environment.

• , 11.00: Conclusion + Closing, Elena Scaroni, Secretary General of LightingEurope, ,

Non-compliant products (including lighting products) continue to flood the EU market, particularly via online sales channels. Often, sellers from third countries bypass the internal market system, which requires an EU-based operator to ensure that all products and packaging placed on the EU market are safe and compliant with EU legislation.

Don’t miss this opportunity to take part in a critical discussion on how to strengthen online product compliance and what legislative changes are needed to ensure safer e-commerce for EU citizens and a level playing field for businesses across the internal market.
