Regulatory basis
According to the announcement of the Energy Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2025 (February 26, 114 of the Republic of China), "Energy efficiency Standards and Marking Methods for Energy-saving labels for Light-emitting diode Flat panel Lamps with Standard Interconnection agreement communication Ports" (Energy Section No. 11404000500), and will be published in 2026 (March 1, 115 of the Republic of China). Day) Officially took effect. For the first time, the new system incorporates the concept of "smart lighting" into the energy-saving marking system, and clearly defines the testing and marking requirements for LED flat panel lamps with standard communication protocols, which represents that the energy-saving marking has officially entered the era of smart energy-saving.
Scope of application
- Suitable for light-emitting diode (LED) flat panel lamps with standard interconnection protocol communication ports.
- Must meet CNS 16047 (performance requirements for LED flat panel lamps and lanterns) and CNS 16014 (communication interface for smart home appliances).
- If the lamps and lanterns have functions such as brightness adjustment, color temperature adjustment, or power management at the same time, they are all within the scope of application of this benchmark.
Smart communication function is the key to application
- Lamps and lanterns must have a standardized communication port (Interconnection Port), which can exchange data through the protocol specified in CNS 16014.
- Functions should include：
- Power control function
- Brightness setting function
- Yellow light ratio setting function (suitable for adjustable color temperature lamps and lanterns)
- The test report must be issued by a laboratory certified by CNS 17025 and verify whether the communication service function meets the standards.
Energy efficiency and commonality requirements(Note 1)
- The energy efficiency benchmark must comply with the current "Energy efficiency benchmark and marking method for Energy-saving marking of Light-emitting Diode Flat panel Lamps and Lanterns".
- The common requirements (photobiological safety, flicker, luminous efficiency, power factor, etc.) should meet the aforementioned standards simultaneously.
- The CNS 16047 test report is one of the required documents, and the content must fully present performance indicators such as brightness, color rendering, and luminous efficiency.
Test method(Note 2)
- The test conditions are carried out in accordance with CNS 16047 (performance requirements for LED flat panel lamps and lanterns) and CNS 16014 (communication interface for smart home appliances).
- The measurement of luminous flux and luminous efficiency is carried out in accordance with CIE 70, 84, and 121 specifications.
- The communication port must pass a functional test to confirm that it has standard interconnection functions such as power control, brightness and color temperature adjustment.
Product labeling requirements(Note 3)
Products and catalogs need to be clearly marked：
- The model of the BSMI certificate must be marked with the text "with communication port".
- Rated power, total luminous flux, color rendering, color temperature, luminous efficiency, power factor.
- Plane pitch ratio (C=0°-180°, C=90°-270°), photobiosafety, flicker index and flicker percentage.
- Standby power (Standby Power) and communication port information.
- If it is sold by an agent, the manufacturer's name and address must be marked at the same time.
Jinghong recommends
- Introduce test plans in advance: it is recommended that manufacturers plan synchronously during the R&D phase CNS 16014 communication interface test, To avoid delays in the schedule caused by future retakes.
- Integrated communication and energy efficiency testing: CNS 16047 and CNS 16014 testing can be carried out at the same time, shortening the overall submission time for review.
- Complete document guidance: Jinghong Inspection is qualified as a CNS 17025 certified laboratory, and can provide one-stop services for energy efficiency testing, communication protocol inspection, and marking document production.
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.
