Policies

To deliver the lighting industry’s Strategic Roadmap and increase the value of lighting by 2025, LightingEurope focuses on Better Enforcement, Sound Product Rules, Value of Lighting and Sustainability. LightingEurope also specifically addresses certain applications of lighting technology: Emergency Lighting, Automotive Lighting and UV-C Disinfection Technologies

LightingEurope advocates the Better Enforcement of EU rules to provide safe and quality products for users and a level playing field for all economic actors on the EU market.

Lighting products are subject to many EU rules: ecodesign, energy efficiency, energy labelling, safety requirements for low voltage, electromagnetic or radio emitting products and obligations to provide information.

Europe’s lighting industry has taken the lead in sustainability, not only by delivering significant energy savings but also with our track record in extending the lifetime of products, reducing hazardous substances and collecting and recycling of waste products.

LightingEurope advocates for #BetterLighting. Light enables vision, it helps us navigate our surroundings and makes us feel safe. But light can do so much more.

Emergency lighting is present in all types of buildings, from hospitals to schools, hotels, offices or residential buildings and is on when the electric supply to the normal lighting fails. Emergency lighting provides illumination and guidance for occupants to safely exit a building in the case of an incident. Emergency lighting is mandatory, needs continuous assessment and should be maintained.

LightingEurope advocates the Better Enforcement of EU rules to provide safe and quality products for users and a level playing field for all economic actors on the EU market.

The number of non-compliant, dangerous products on the European market is increasing, through both offline and online channels. More effort needs to be put into creating EU rules that can be and are enforced and to allocate liability fairly to actors that are within the EU jurisdiction.

LightingEurope

engages with EU regulators to shape rules that are easy for all companies to understand and apply to their products and for all national surveillance authorities to enforce.
advocates a change in the EU legal framework to ensure what’s illegal offline is also illegal online and allocate liability for all EU product requirements to an actor within the EU jurisdiction.
collaborates with national market surveillance authorities to share our understanding of how to interpret and apply requirements to lighting products and to signal non-compliance.
