(a)

by inserting, immediately after the definition of “clothes dryer”, the following definitions:

“ “compact fluorescent lamp with integrated ballast” or “CFLi” has the same meaning as in the Schedule to the Energy Conservation (Registrable Goods) Order 2013;

“covered CFLi” means a CFLi with an outer lamp envelope;”;

(b)

by deleting the word “and” at the end of paragraph (c) of the definition of “energy efficiency”;

(c)

by inserting the word “and” at the end of paragraph (d) of the definition of “energy efficiency”, and by inserting immediately thereafter the following paragraph:

“(e)	in relation to a lamp, means the Lamp Power Consumption as defined in the First Schedule;”;

(d)

by inserting, immediately after the definition of “Energy Label”, the following definitions:

“ “incandescent lamp” has the same meaning as in the Schedule to the Energy Conservation (Registrable Goods) Order 2013;

“lamp” means a single-phase lamp as specified in paragraph 1 of Part III of the Schedule to the Energy Conservation (Registrable Goods) Order 2013;

“LED lamp” has the same meaning as in the Schedule to the Energy Conservation (Registrable Goods) Order 2013;”; and

(e)

by deleting the full-stop at the end of the definition of “test report” and substituting a semi‑colon, and by inserting immediately thereafter the following definitions:

“ “tungsten filament lamp” means an incandescent lamp that has a filament made of tungsten and is operated in an evacuated bulb or surrounded by inert gas;

“tungsten halogen lamp” means an incandescent lamp that has a filament made of tungsten and is surrounded by gas containing halogens or halogen compounds.”.

Amendment of regulation 7

3. Regulation 7 of the principal Regulations is amended by deleting the full-stop at the end of paragraph (c) and substituting a semi‑colon, and by inserting immediately thereafter the following paragraph:

“(d)

lamps.”.

Amendment of First Schedule

4. The First Schedule to the principal Regulations is amended —

(a)

by inserting, immediately after Label 4 in paragraph 2, the following Label:

“

Label 5

(b)

by deleting the words “and televisions” in paragraph 3 and substituting the words “, televisions and lamps”;

(c)

by inserting, immediately after sub-paragraph (h) of paragraph 3, the following sub-paragraph:

“(i)

for lamps —

Ticks

Lamp Power Consumption (P_lamp) in Watts

0.8 × (0.88√ϕ+0.049ϕ) ≥ P_lamp > 0.24√ϕ +0.0103ϕ

0.24√ϕ +0.0103ϕ ≥ P_lamp > 0.17 × (0.88√ϕ +0.049ϕ)

P_lamp ≤ 0.17 × (0.88√ϕ+0.049 ϕ)

”;

(d)

by inserting, immediately after the definition of “ “Energy Consumption” or “EC” ” in paragraph 4, the following definitions:

“ “Lamp Power Consumption” or “P_lamp” means —

(a)	for a covered CFLi, P_{covered CFLi}× 0.95;
(b)	for any other lamp, the rated power consumed by the lamp, excluding power dissipated by non‑integrated auxiliary equipment, such as ballasts, transformers or power supplies, expressed in Watts, as specified in the test report;

“ϕ” means the rated luminous flux of a lamp expressed in lumens, as specified in the test report;”; and

(e)

by inserting, immediately after the definition of “ “On‑Mode Power Consumption” or “P” ” in paragraph 4, the following definition:

“ “P_{covered CFLi}” means rated powerconsumed by a covered CFLi, excluding power dissipated by non-integrated auxiliary equipment, such as ballasts, transformers or power supplies, expressed in Watts, as specified in the test report;”.

Amendment of Second Schedule

5. The Second Schedule to the principal Regulations is amended —

(a)

by inserting, immediately after the item relating to “Clothes Dryer” in paragraph 1, the following item:

“
