普通照明用荧光灯能效限定值及能效等级
GB 19044-2022 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and energy efficiency grades of fluorescent lamps for general lighting. It appears in the Construction compliance cluster with a energy efficiency focus and has an implementation date of Jan 1, 2024.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to fluorescent lamps for general lighting, including self-ballasted fluorescent lamps (3W~60W), self-ballasted electrodeless fluorescent lamps (10W~60W), double-ended fluorescent lamps, single-ended fluorescent lamps, and single-ended electrodeless fluorescent lamps (30W~400W). It is not applicable to self-ballasted fluorescent lamps with covers. This standard is mandatory for manufacturers targeting the Chinese market.
Technical requirements
The standard classifies energy efficiency into 3 grades, with Grade 1 being the highest. The minimum allowable value of energy efficiency corresponds to Grade 3. It specifies luminous efficacy requirements based on rated power and color tone (RR, RZ, RL, RB, RN, RD). Additionally, it sets requirements for lumen maintenance after 2000 hours of operation, with specific thresholds for different lamp types. For lamps using tri-phosphor fluorescent powder, the general color rendering index (Ra) must not be less than 80. The initial measured color rendering index shall not decrease by more than 3 compared to the rated value.
Testing methods
Testing methods for luminous efficacy, correlated color temperature, color rendering index, and lumen maintenance are conducted according to referenced standards: GB/T 17263 for self-ballasted fluorescent lamps, GB/T 10682 for double-ended fluorescent lamps, GB/T 17262 for single-ended fluorescent lamps, GB/T 21091 for self-ballasted electrodeless fluorescent lamps, and GB/T 34841 for single-ended electrodeless fluorescent lamps.
