Regulatory basis
According to the announcement of the Energy Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2022 (September 12, 111), the "Energy Efficiency Benchmark and Marking Method for Patio Lamp Energy-Saving Mark" will be revised, and it will take effect in 2024 (October 1, 113 of the Republic of China). This revision has raised the energy efficiency and quality thresholds, and brought higher energy-saving and safety requirements for patio lamps and lanterns used in large spaces such as factories, warehouses, and parking lots.

Scope of application
- It is suitable for patio lamps that are generally bottom-illuminated suspension type or ceiling type and approved by the Energy Department.
- The rated total luminous flux must be greater than 5,000 lumens (lm).
- It must comply with the structural and safety specifications of the national standards CNS 14335 and 14115 of the Republic of China.
- The main use areas include: factories, warehouses, parking lots, large commercial spaces, etc.
Energy efficiency and performance indicators
- The luminous efficiency (lm/W) is ≥150, and the measured value must be more than 95% of the indicated value.
- The power factor (PF) is ≥0.90, and must not be lower than 95% of the marked value.
- Beam maintenance rate: 1,000 hours ≥97%; 3,000 hours ≥95%
Color rendering and safety requirements
- Total luminous flux ≥10,000 lm: CRI ≥70
- Total luminous flux 5,000-10,000 lm: CRI≥80
- R9 (special color rendering index)> 0
- Photobiosafety: Must comply with CNS 15592 "No risk" or "Low risk" level.
Test method
- Light distribution test: according to CIE 70, 84, and 121 international standards, the test angle spacing is ≤2.5 degrees.
- Light source test basis: LED: CNS 15437; Fluorescent lamp: CNS 691; High pressure sodium lamp: CNS 15049
- Beam angle: according to the definition and acceptance conditions of CNS 15497.
Product labeling requirements
Products and catalogs need to be clearly marked：
- User name and address
- Manufacturer information (must be listed when the agent sells)
- Information such as rated power, total luminous flux, color rendering index (CRI, R9), color temperature, luminous efficiency, power factor, photobiological safety, and beam angle.
Jinghong recommends
- Early sample delivery for testing: the test cycle of energy efficiency, light distribution, and color rendering is long. It is recommended that manufacturers prepare half a year in advance.
- Integration of regulatory requirements: standards are included in the design stage to avoid later re-testing and re-testing.
- Professional counseling support: Jinghong Inspection provides patio lamp energy efficiency testing, light distribution testing, CNS certification consultation and document counseling to help the industry quickly pass the review.
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.
