Qualifying Products 1. Comply with current ENERGY STAR Eligibility Criteria, which define performance requirements and test procedures for integral LED lamps. A list of eligible products and their corresponding Eligibility Criteria can be found at www.energystar.gov/specifications. 2. Prior to associating the ENERGY STAR name or mark with any product, obtain written certification of ENERGY STAR qualification from a Certification Body recognized by EPA for integral LED lamps. As part of this certification process, products must be tested in a laboratory recognized by EPA to perform integral LED lamp testing. A list of EPA-recognized laboratories and Certification Bodies can be found at www.energystar.gov/testingandverification.
Using the ENERGY STAR Name and Marks 3. Comply with current ENERGY STAR Identity Guidelines, which define how the ENERGY STAR name and marks may be used. Partner is responsible for adhering to these guidelines and ensuring that its authorized representatives, such as advertising agencies, dealers, and distributors, are also in compliance. The ENERGY STAR Identity Guidelines are available at www.energystar.gov/logouse. 4. Use the ENERGY STAR name and marks only in association with qualified products. Partner may not refer to itself as an ENERGY STAR Partner unless at least one product is qualified and offered for sale in the U.S. and/or ENERGY STAR partner countries. 5. Provide clear and consistent labeling of ENERGY STAR qualified integral LED lamps. 5.1. The ENERGY STAR mark must be clearly displayed on the front or primary display panel of the product packaging, in product literature (i.e., user manuals, spec sheets, etc.) and on the manufacturer’s Internet site where information about ENERGY STAR qualified models is displayed. Verifying Ongoing Product Qualification 6. Participate in third-party verification testing through a Certification Body recognized by EPA for integral LED lamps, providing full cooperation and timely responses. EPA/DOE may also, at its discretion, conduct tests on products that are referred to as ENERGY STAR qualified. These products may be obtained on the open market, or voluntarily supplied by Partner at the government’s request. 7. Notify ENERGY STAR integral LED lamp Certification Body recognized by EPA for integral LED lamps, within 30 days, if the designated suppliers of any qualified private labeled integral LED lamps change to a new supplier.
Providing Information to EPA 8. Provide unit shipment data or other market indicators to EPA annually to assist with creation of ENERGY STAR market penetration estimates, as follows: ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Integral LED Lamps – Partner Commitments

8.1. Partner must submit the total number of ENERGY STAR qualified integral LED lamps shipped in the calendar year or an equivalent measurement as agreed to in advance by EPA and Partner. Partner shall exclude shipments to organizations that rebrand and resell the shipments (unaffiliated private labelers). 8.2. Partner must provide unit shipment data segmented by meaningful product characteristics (e.g., type, capacity, presence of additional functions) as prescribed by EPA. 8.3. Partner must submit unit shipment data for each calendar year to EPA or an EPA-authorized third party, preferably in electronic format, no later than March 1 of the following year. Submitted unit shipment data will be used by EPA only for program evaluation purposes and will be closely controlled. If requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), EPA will argue that the data is exempt. Any information used will be masked by EPA so as to protect the confidentiality of the Partner. 9. Report to EPA any attempts by recognized laboratories or Certification Bodies (CBs) to influence testing or certification results or to engage in discriminatory practices. 10. Notify EPA of a change in the designated responsible party or contacts within 30 days using the My ENERGY STAR Account tool (MESA) available at www.energystar.gov/mesa.
Performance for Special Distinction In order to receive additional recognition and/or support from EPA for its efforts within the Partnership, the ENERGY STAR Partner may consider the following voluntary measures, and should keep EPA informed on the progress of these efforts:
Provide quarterly, written updates to EPA as to the efforts undertaken by Partner to increase availability of ENERGY STAR qualified products, and to promote awareness of ENERGY STAR and its message.
Consider energy efficiency improvements in company facilities and pursue benchmarking buildings through the ENERGY STAR Buildings program.
Purchase ENERGY STAR qualified products. Revise the company purchasing or procurement specifications to include ENERGY STAR. Provide procurement officials’ contact information to EPA for periodic updates and coordination. Circulate general ENERGY STAR qualified product information to employees for use when purchasing products for their homes.
Feature the ENERGY STAR mark(s) on Partner website and other promotional materials. If information concerning ENERGY STAR is provided on the Partner website as specified by the ENERGY STAR Web Linking Policy (available in the Partner Resources section of the ENERGY STAR website), EPA may provide links where appropriate to the Partner website.
Ensure the power management feature is enabled on all ENERGY STAR qualified displays and computers in use in company facilities, particularly upon installation and after service is performed.
Provide general information about the ENERGY STAR program to employees whose jobs are relevant to the development, marketing, sales, and service of current ENERGY STAR qualified products.
Provide a simple plan to EPA outlining specific measures Partner plans to undertake beyond the program requirements listed above. By doing so, EPA may be able to coordinate, and communicate Partner’s activities, provide an EPA representative, or include news about the event in the ENERGY STAR newsletter, on the ENERGY STAR website, etc. The plan may be as simple as providing a list of planned activities or milestones of which Partner would like EPA to be aware. For example, activities may include: (1) increasing the availability of ENERGY STAR qualified products by converting the entire product line within two years to meet ENERGY STAR guidelines; (2) demonstrating the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency through special in-store displays twice a year; (3) providing information to users (via the website and user’s manual) about energy-saving features and operating characteristics of ENERGY STAR qualified products; and (4) building awareness of the ENERGY STAR Partnership and brand identity by collaborating with EPA on one print advertorial and one live press event.

Incompatibility with Controls and Application Exceptions
Lamp package must clearly state any known incompatibility with photo controls, occupancy sensors, or timing devices. In addition, packaging should state specific application exceptions, such as totally enclosed fixtures, insulated air-tight (ICAT) recessed downlights, damp locations, and any other application restrictions. This includes installations which would result in a lamp's noncompliance with the ENERGY STAR specification performance requirements. If a qualified lamp operating on AC or DC does not comply with requirements, this shall be considered an application exception which shall be detailed by the manufacturer. Therefore, on the lamp packaging (not on enclosed materials, not on a referenced website), language similar to the following should be included: "Not intended for AC operation." "Not intended for operation on AC transformers." "Not for use with AC transformers." "DC" may be substituted for "AC", as applicable.
Dimmable lamps
Lamp package and product information sheet must include a caution label indicating the lamp may not be compatible with all dimmers and identifying the Web address (URL) to find up-to-date dimmer compatibility information.
LED MR-16 Lamps Intended for use on Low-Voltage Circuits
Lamp package must state compatibility with low-voltage transformers. Lamp package and product information sheet must include a caution label indicating the lamp may not be compatible with all low-voltage transformers used in existing light fixtures and identifying the Web address (URL) to find up-to-date low-voltage transformer compatibility and appropriate use information.
Non-Standard Lamps
Lamp package must state “Non-Standard Lamp” on any panel except the bottom panel. Lamp package and package inserts of product shall indicate lighting applications and fixture types for which the non standard lamp is intended. See Appendix C for icons to be employed on product packaging to communicate appropriate applications. Icon image files are available at : www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=products_for_partners.show ILEDL Partners shall use both the recessed and table fixture icons on the package of each certified non-standard lamp, and shall select a minimum of two additional icons to display. The applications for which the lamp is appropriate shall be circled using the provided circle image, and those applications for which the lamp’s luminous intensity

distribution would fail to meet the requirements of a given task shall be marked with the provided “X” image. As an example, the packaging of a non-standard lamp which does not illuminate the surface below when installed base-down in a table or floor fixture would be required to indicate an “X” through the table fixture icon. These icons shall be printed no smaller in width than 3/8”. The icons shall not be located on the bottom of product packaging. The icons shall also be employed on all associated product literature, both in print and electronic form. Non-standard lamps shall not make any equivalency claims to standard incandescent shape or wattage on product packaging, or on the labeling of the lamp itself.
3
Product Equivalency Claims (for Replacement Lamps)
Product packaging, supporting documents, and marketing material may only reference the ANSI standard lamp shape indicated on ENERGY STAR product application. Lamp packaging and supporting materials may not make performance comparisons that reference other types of lamps or lamp wattages other than that referenced in the ENERGY STAR application materials.
Product Equivalency Claims (for NonStandard Lamps)
Product packaging, supporting documents and marketing materials may not reference any ANSI standard lamp shape or any other types of lamps, and may not claim performance equivalence to any other type of lamp on the market (e.g. incandescent wattage equivalency).
Lighting Facts Label
Beginning on January 1, 2012 the Federal Trade Commission’s new 3 Lighting Facts label will be required by law on packaging of medium screw base general service lamps. Manufacturers shall use the DOE Lighting Facts label for products not covered by the FTC ruling. Manufacturers can participate in DOE’s Lighting Facts program by uploading product data at www.lightingfacts.com
Model Number
Packaging must include model number. The model number of an LED lamp submitted for qualification must be different from any earlier, nonqualified versions of the product already introduced into the market. Partners wishing to maintain model numbers of LED lamps already in the market and submitted for qualification may do so by providing with their qualification submittal proof that no material or performance changes have been made to the model between original market introduction and submittal for ENERGY STAR qualification.
