Regulatory basis
According to the energy-saving mark, the energy efficiency benchmark and marking method were announced and revised in 2021 (March 8, 110 of the Republic of China), and will take effect in 2023 (March 1, 112 of the Republic of China). The new version of the standard comprehensively improves the energy efficiency and quality thresholds. Manufacturers must prepare in advance.

Scope of application
- This specification is applicable to: single-port, non-directional LED bulbs with lamp holders (such as E27, E14 and other common lamp holders).
- Not applicable: pointing LED bulbs and other special purpose bulbs (such as color bulbs, smart bulbs, stage bulbs, etc.).
- It is mainly aimed at general indoor lighting purposes to ensure the consistency of LED bulbs in the consumer market in terms of efficiency and safety.
Energy efficiency and color rendering requirements
- The color rendering index (Ra) is ≥80, and must reach more than 95% of the marked value.
- The special color rendering index R9> 0 ensures the quality of the red color.
- Luminous efficiency (lm/W): graded according to the color temperature and whether the light is dimmable, for example: 3000K color temperature, non-dimmable, Ra<90: ≥125 lm/W is required; 4000K-6500K color temperature: ≥130 lm/W (non-dimmable)
Beam maintenance rate (life test)
- 1000 hours: beam maintenance rate ≥97%
- 3000 hours: beam maintenance rate ≥95%
Color offset and flicker control
- Color offset: 1000 hours △u’, v’ ≤0.0050; 3000 hours △u’, v’ ≤0.0070
- Flicker standard: Flicker Index (FI) ≤ 0.050; Percentage Flicker (PF) ≤ 5%
Photobiosafety
- Must meet"Risk-free level"Category, to avoid the harm of blue light and protect the health of users.
Marking specification
Product catalogs and packaging must be clearly marked：
- Energy-saving mark user name and address
- If you are an agent, you need to mark the manufacturer's name and address at the same time
Jinghong recommends
- Early sample delivery for testing: it takes time for tests such as energy efficiency, color rendering, and beam maintenance rate. It is recommended that manufacturers plan in advance.
- Inclusion standards in the design stage: avoid late rework and save costs.
- Professional inspection support: Jinghong Inspection has the capabilities of safety testing, lighting performance testing, and reliability testing, and can complete the application requirements for the energy-saving mark at once.
Jinghong Inspection will continue to track the latest regulatory developments and provide complete product testing and compliance advice services to help the industry successfully respond to the requirements of the new version of the recognized benchmark.
