Description of content: The existing Energy Conservation (Registrable
Goods) Order and Energy Conservation (Energy Labelling and Minimum
Performance Standards) Regulations will be amended to extend the scope
of registrable goods to include non-directional lamps1 for general
lighting purposes.
1 Presently only non-directional lamps are covered. Directional lamps
or lamps having at least 80% light output within a cone angle of 120°,
remain out of the scope of registrable goods.
From 1 July 2015, all registrable lamps as listed in Section 4 above,
to be supplied or for sale in Singapore must:
I.
Be registered;
II.
Be labelled with an Energy Label. Energy labels will provide
consumers information and an easy reference to the energy
efficiency of such lamps;
III.
Meet prescribed minimum energy efficiency standards if they are
to be supplied in Singapore. The prescribed minimum energy
efficiency standards for lamps are tabulated below.
Type of Lamps Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard
Incandescent P max|incandescent = 0.8 x (0.88  + 0.049)
CFLi P max|bare CFLi = 0.24  + 0.0103
Covered CFLi P max|covered CFLi = Pmax|bare CFLi /0.95
LED lamp with integrated ballast P max|LED = 0.24  + 0.0103
Where P is power consumption of lamps;  is light output in lumen
All registrable lamps are to be tested to the following standards,
which are used to determine their energy efficiency.
Registrable Goods Applicable Test Standard or Method
Incandescent lamp Luminous flux measurement test shall be conducted in
accordance with CIE 84 (1989); and
The test conditions specified in:
a) IEC 60064 (2005)for tungsten filament lamps;
or
b) IEC 60064 (2005) or IEC 60357 (2003) for tungsten halogen lamps
CFLi IEC 60969 (2001-03)
LED lamp with integrated ballast IEC 62612 (2013)
7.
Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where
applicable: For the purposes of environmental protection and
conservation. Lamps which are not energy efficient consume more energy
to operate and lead to higher emissions of greenhouse gases. Lamp is
among the top 5 energy consuming appliances/devices in Singapore
households. Energy labelling and minimum energy performance standards
for lamps encourage households to select more energy efficient lamps.
Consumers may reap "life-cycle" cost savings from more efficient
lighting.

Singapore's Government Gazette when adopted.2

Proposed date of adoption: Notice will be published prior to the date
of entry into force
Proposed date of entry into force: 1 July 2015
