PSR – SPECIFIC RULES FOR LUMINAIRES

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
The environmental impact of lighting products and systems has become increasingly important
to interested parties like customers and regulators.
In addition to qualitative approaches such as environmentally conscious design, there is an
increased demand for quantitative information about the potential environmental impact
throughout the full life cycle of products and systems. This has generated the need for globally
harmonized rules for the underlying Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to provide robust and
consistent quantitative environmental information about lighting products and systems.
To support this quantification, ISO 14025 “Environmental labels and declarations – Type III
environmental declarations – Principles and procedures” offers a high-level method for the
specification of Product Category Rules (PCR), which sets minimum quality standards for LCA
to create an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). For Electrical and Electronic Products
and Systems (EEPS), IEC 63366 ED1 “Product category rules for life cycle assessment of
electrical and electronic products and systems” is under development by IEC/TC 111 to serve
as a horizontal standard for PCR.
Internationally standardized Product Specific Rules (PSR) are needed for lighting products and
systems to complement the PCR specified in IEC 63366 ED1. Since the development of such
PSR standards may take up to 3 years, it has been proposed that existing non-IEC publications
should be published as IEC PAS documents to close the time gap and guide stakeholders until
international standards have become available.
One document identified as an IEC PAS candidate is the PEPecopassport® publication
PSR0014 as it contains elements that can serve as a reference for the development of PSRs.
Although elements of PSR0014 are regional in nature, its overall approach is globally
applicable.
This PAS is a copy of the PSR0014 document entitled “PSR – Specific rules for luminaires”
(PSR 0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13). Since this document also references product category rules
specified in document PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06 “PCR – Product Category Rules for Electrical,
Electronic and HVAC-R Products”, this document is added to the PAS for completeness.

2. Scope
In accordance with the general instructions of the PEP ecopassport® program (PEP-General instructions- ed4.1-EN-2017
10 17) and additional to the PCR, Product Category Rules (PCR) of the PEP ecopassport® environmental product
declaration (EPD) program (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06), this document sets out the specific rules for luminaires
and defines the product specifications to be adopted by manufacturers in the development of their Product
Environmental Profiles (PEP) particularly with regard to:
• the technology and its type of application,
• the conventional typical lifetime taken into account for the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA),
• the conventional use scenarios to be adopted during the product use stage.

Except from the « Self-contained Emergency Electrical Equipment » covered by specific rules presented in
« PSR-0007- », this reference document applies to all "luminaires" intended to be connected to the power grid,
regardless of their manufacturing location or destination market.

This document describes the rules for PEPs under the Type III Environmental Declaration Program to be properly
developed and communicated with verifiable, comparable and non-misleading information on the
environmental aspects of products.

This reference document is primarily intended for:
• environment and/or product managers,
• LCA experts in companies, in charge of PEP development,
• verifiers in charge of PEP conformity assessment in accordance with the defined rules.

2.1. Description of the covered product families
A luminaire is a device that meets the following definition:

“Apparatus which distributes, filters or transforms the light transmitted by one or more light sources and which
includes, [.], all the parts necessary for supporting, fixing and protection of the light sources and, where
necessary, auxiliary circuits and the means for connecting them to the control gear.”
Any kind of luminaire, containing replaceable or non-replaceable light sources are in scope of this document.

The definition given is based on the standard “NF EN 60598-1:2021 – Luminaires – Part 1: General
requirements and tests” and adapted to the definition applied and the wording used in this document.

A luminaire might be made of housing, control gear and light source (integrated or not). The PEP shall
indicate, in the product description, how many control gear(s) and light source(s) are required to achieve
the service over the reference lifetime of the luminaire, and therefore used for the calculation of the PEP.

The devices defined in this paragraph must conform to the entire set of normative and regulatory

PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13 7

standards established at the International, European, and national levels according to their applications. A non-
exhaustive list, defining the main normative and regulatory elements to be respected, is mentioned in chapter 6
“Appendices”.
2.2. Consideration of the functions and technologies not
included in this document
If functions or luminaire technologies are missing from these Product specific rules for Luminaires, a request to include
them shall be sent to the PEP Ecopassport program. These requests will be considered by the PEP Ecopassport program
to determine how to deal with these functions or luminaire technologies.
3. Product life cycle assessment
3.1. Functional Unit and reference flow description
These specific rules are additional to section 2.1. "Functional unit and reference flow description" of the PCR (PEP-
PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06).
3.1.1. Functional Unit (FU)
The FU is defined below:
“Provide lighting that delivers an outgoing artificial luminous flux of 1,000 lumens during a reference
lifetime of 35,000 hours”
The LCA enables to compare different types of luminaires according to usage unit (the emission of a light output
of 1,000 lumens) and a reference lifetime (fixed reference lifetime which cannot be assimilated to the actual life
of the lighting or its actual running time) common to all luminaires, fixed to 35,000 hours.

It should be noted, however, that the concept of comparability between several products will have to take into
account the fundamental technical data of each of them. For reasons of comparability, some basic and
representative technical characteristics of the reference product shall be specified in the PEP according to the
paragraph 4.1, which includes typical number of hours of luminaire use per year depending on the application.
Therefore, a number of years can be calculated depending on the use of the luminaire. It should also be noted
that, in the context of a project, it is essential to have project data to compare luminaires with each other.

The reference lifetime applicable to the category of "luminaires" was determined consensually by the technical
experts of the industry that participated in the development of the PSR by considering the different possible fields
of application. This reference lifetime is voluntarily set below the assigned lifetime of most of product’s range;
the assigned lifetime depends on variable factors related to the quality of implementation of the facilities, the
frequency of their maintenance and use conditions of the products. This reference life does not constitute a
commercial warranty commitment from the manufacturer.

PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13 8

3.1.2. Declared unit
The declared unit approach is not appropriate to allow comparability for luminaires, since calculations are always
related to a given function provided by one given luminaire.

However, when a declared unit approach is applied, in alignment with the recommendations in the PCR, the
declared unit is given by:
"A luminaire providing an outgoing luminous flux of XXX lumens during a reference lifetime of YY years."

where XXX is the actual output of the luminaire and YY is the actual reference lifetime RLT of the luminaire given
its use.
The gained results may be declared for the assigned lifetime of the selected luminaire.

3.1.3. Reference product and reference flow description
The reference flow (energy and material flows corresponding to the FU) shall be determined in application of
paragraph 3.1.1 “Functional Unit” of this present PSR and in accordance with the requirements set out in the
paragraph 2.1 of PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06).
A "luminaire" as defined in the paragraph 2.1 “Scope” has the following elements:
• a structure,
• a control gear,
• a light source (also called a lamp), integrated or not in the luminaire,
• if applicable, components associated with light management functions, or components associated
with compatibility with lighting control systems, whether integrated to the luminaire or not.

The PEP shall include full transparency on the description of the luminaire covered by the PEP.

The luminaire is characterized for an outgoing artificial luminous flux of [V] lumens with an assigned lifetime of
[H] set in the paragraphs 3.1.3.1 and 3.1.3.2, respectively.

The reference flow corresponding to the FU shall take into account the value of the outgoing artificial luminous
flux as well as the assigned lifetime of the luminaire determined in accordance with the requirements established
respectively in the paragraphs 3.1.3.1 and 3.1.3.2 of present specific rules.

3.1.3.1. Determination of the outgoing artificial luminous flux of the
luminaire
PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13 9

• When the luminaire contains a replaceable light source
The outgoing artificial luminous flux [V] of the device is measured according to NF EN 13032-1 . This value must be
justified in the LCA report using the photometric report.

In the case where [V] is unavailable, it should be calculated by using the formula below:

Artificial light output = Declared flow (Light Source) x Ƞ

Ƞ is the Light Output Ratio (LOR) of luminaire.
In the case where Ƞ is unknown, it is imposed to take the value of Ƞ = 30% in the formula above.

If the product is sold without light source (e.g. not equipped with lamp), it is mandatory to choose the most
impacting compatible light source. This light source shall be selected considering the power consumption (Watt)
by considering the indications of CE marking (maximum power allowed), the light efficiency (regulation (EU)
2019/2020) and the RSL (replacement period). The selected lamp shall be as close to 1000 lumens as possible,
and indicated in the LCA report.

• When the luminaire contains a non-replaceable light source
The flux will be determination according to the standard EN [refer to note 2]

3.1.3.2. Determination of the assigned lifetime of a luminaire

The assigned lifetime of the luminaire is the luminaire life expectancy as declared by the manufacturers
according to the conditions of use provided by them. It is declared in hours of operation.

The assigned lifetime must be justified in the LCA report.

Luminaires with a non-replaceable light source, are considered to be a light source itself according to
Regulation (EU) 2019/2020. The lifetime of such a luminaire is given by the lifetime of the light source.

Luminaires with replaceable light source, are considered to be a containing product according to Regulation
(EU) 2019/2020. The lifetime of such a luminaire is given by the lifetime of the luminaire structure.

It is considered that light management functions do not influence the assigned lifetime of a luminaire.

3.2. System boundaries
NF EN 13032-1 + A1: 2012 standard "Light and lighting - Measurement and presentation of photometric data of lamps and
luminaires - Part 1: measurement and file format"

PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13 10

These specific rules are additional to section 2.2 “System boundaries” of the PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06)
which describes all boundaries per stage of the life cycle.

The principle of modularity presented in the paragraph 2.2.1. “Presentation of the principle of modularity”of the
current PCR ed.4 applies.
3.2.1. Manufacturing stage (A1 to A3)
All the components delivered with the product to work properly must be included in the scope of the study.

In the case of luminaires, the elements to be included are:
• the luminaire,
• as well as all the following items delivered with the product, namely:
o power supplies detached from the lighting,
o fixing elements to the frame,
o assembly elements, fittings and other electrical connectors,
o other possible accessories (LMS, sensors…).

In the case of a luminaire sold without control gear, it is mandatory to choose the control gear recommended
by the manufacturer to ensure proper functioning of the luminaire under the conditions of use defined by
the manufacturer over the assigned service life of the luminaire.

3.2.2. Distribution stage (A4)
This PSR does not require any additional requirements to the paragraph 2.2.4. “Distribution stage” of the current PCR
ed.4.
3.2.3. Installation stage (A5)
The installation of luminaires involves:
• power supplies when these are remote from the lighting and are not supplied with the product;
• the fixing elements in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions:
o the fixing devices recommended by the manufacturer when they are not delivered with the
product:
 the fixing elements to the frame,
 the assembly elements, fittings and other electrical connectors,
o the other possible accessories;
• the first light source by default when the luminaire is sold without a light source or when the lightsource
is not integrated.
The LCA report precises all the elements necessary for the installation of the luminaire.
The installation is not considering:

PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13 11

• all modification of the frame and/or addition of elements not provided by the manufacturer (e.g.:
electrical network connection, roadworks). The actual impact of these operations shall be calculated
according to the installation elements used during the installation operation by the user of the
declaration if he wishes,
• fixing processes that are implemented during the installation.

3.2.4. Use stage (B1 to B7)
The use phase of luminaires involves:
• an electrical consumption of reference product, measured, justified and dependent on the light
management functions concerned, if applicable (B6 – Energy Requirements during the use stage),
• possible replacement, re-lamping, and refurbishment of light sources and control gears
(including the manufacture and sales distribution of lightsources and control gears) (B2 –
Maintenance),
• any other consumables and maintenance operations necessary to the proper functioning of the
luminaire provided by the manufacturer (B2 – Maintenance or B3 – Repair),
• end-of-life treatment of potential waste (such as replaced light sources or packaging wastes, and recorded
either in B2 or B4).
The following stages are not covered in this PSR: B1 – Use or application of the product, B5 – Restoration, B7 – Water
requirements during the use stage, since they are not relevant for luminaires.

The use phase is not considering:
• upgrade operations (modification of the product involving an evolution of its functions and itsuse).

3.2.5. End of life stage (C1 to C4)
The end-of-life stage of luminaires involves:
• the end-of-life treatment of luminaire,
• the end-of-life treatment of the last light source presented in the luminaire,
• the end-of-life treatment of the last control gear used together with the luminaire.

3.2.6. Net benefits and loads beyond the system boundaries
(optional Module D)
This PSR may also include consideration of net benefits and loads beyond the system boundaries. This stage is optional
and involves:
• • Impacts prevented by recycling the material,
• • Impacts prevented by waste-to-energy recovery,
• • Environmental impact of the production of the recycled material of the product, not taken into account
during the manufacturing stage.

The net benefits and loads beyond the system boundaries are calculated using the formulas as defined in the current

PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13 12

PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06.
3.2.7. Specific exclusions
This PSR does not require any additional exclusion from paragraph 2.2.9 "Excludes from System Boundaries" of
the current PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06). except for the flow related to the fixation processes described in the
paragraph 3.2.3 of this document.

3.3. Cut-off criteria
The rules of section 2.3 "Cut-off criteria" of the current PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06) apply here.

3.4. Rules for allocation between co-products
These specific rules are additional to section 2.4 "Rules for allocation between co-products" of the current PCR
(PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06).
When a process generates several co-products, the weight flow allocation rule must be applied based onthe output
weight considered in the study.

3.5. Development of scenarios (default scenarios)
These specific rules are additional to section 2.5 "Development of scenarios" of the current PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-
2021 09 06).
Any other scenario than the default scenario described below must be justified in the LCA report and
mentioned in the PEP.
3.5.1. Manufacturing stage (A1 to A3)
The manufacturing stage shall be analyzed in accordance with paragraph 3.2.1 "System boundaries /
Manufacturing stage" of this PSR and the default scenarios of the current PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06).

The recycled content should be declared in the PEP, as recommended by AP 0017. In that case, it shall be assessed
according to EN 45557 and justified. The default value for recycled content is zero.

Packaging of raw materials and components
Packaging of raw materials and components, including their transport to manufacturing sites, shall be
considered. Suppliers’ data with justification shall be used. If no justification is available, an average quantity
of 5% in mass of the luminaire shall be considered, and split as follows:
• Wood: 50%
PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13 13

• Cardboard: 40%
• Low density polyethylene: 10%

Packaging which are reused on site are not considered.

The end of life of packaging is modeled as described in the present document, in the sections dealing with the
elimination of the production waste.

As mentioned in section 3.4.2.1 of the PCR, the LCA report shall “identify the waste treatments of output flows
(e.g. treatment of production losses) from the manufacturing site as well as the corresponding datasets used”.
In the case where the production losses are unknown, a default loss rate of 50% shall be taken. The LCA report
will provide justification if 50% is not used.

3.5.1.1. Luminaires sold without control gear

If the luminaire is sold without control gear, it is mandatory to choose the control gear recommended by the
manufacturer to ensure proper functioning of the luminaire under the conditions of use defined by the
manufacturer over the assigned service life of the luminaire.

The choice of the control gear must be justified in the LCA report and specified in the PEP.

3.5.1.2. Manufacturing end of life waste treatment scenario
The rules specified in the paragraph 2.2.3. of the current PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06) apply.

3.5.1.3. Modalities and supporting documents to be made in case of modification of
the default scenario(s)
The rules specified in the paragraph 3.4.2.1. of the current PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06) apply.
Recycled content should be justified by a signed declaration from the supplier or a material datasheet
stating the recycled content.
3.5.2. Distribution stage (A4)
The distribution stage shall be analyzed in accordance with the paragraph 3.2.2 “System boundaries / Distribution
stage” of current PSR and default scenarios of the current PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06).

3.5.2.1. Distribution end of life waste treatment scenario
The rules specified in the paragraph 2.2.4. of the current PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06) apply.

PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13 14

3.5.2.2. Modalities and supporting documents to be made in case of
modification of the default scenario(s)
The rules specified in the paragraph 3.4.2.2. of the current PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06) apply.

3.5.3. Installation stage (A5)
The installation stage shall be analyzed in accordance with the paragraph 3.2.3 “System boundaries / Installation
stage” of this PSR, and default scenarios of the current PCR (PEP-PCR-ed4-EN-2021 09 06).

The default installation scenario for luminaires is the following:
• Adding power supplies when these are remote from the lighting and are not supplied with the
product,
• Fixing elements in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions,
• Adding the first light source by default, when the luminaire is sold without a light source or when the
light source is not integrated.
No specific additional installation equipment or procedure is needed.

3.5.3.1. Installation end of life waste treatment scenario
The waste, including packaging waste, produced during the installation stage is assumed to be eliminated
by the installer once the equipment is installed, and taken into account in the installation stage.
If no justification is provided to demonstrate a specific end of life, the default scenario are provided in the
following tables, and shall be applied. It is possible to use more recent data from Eurostat. If used, the
reference of these data shall be reported in the PEP.

For all geographical areas, by convention:
• The waste transportation stage is 100 km by truck.
• Labels and accessories put on the packaging are considered as negligible and can be cut off.
• A wood pallet is reused 28 times.

3.5.4.1. Electricity consumption scenario (B6)

For the use stage, the default geographic area is Europe and shall be specified in the PEP. Any othergeographical
area shall be specified in the LCA report and in the PEP.

3.5.4.1.1. Luminaire without light management function

3.5.4.1.1.1. Reference use scenario
The default use scenario of a luminaire is a continuous use at declared power during the assigned lifetimeof the
luminaire.
3.5.4.1.1.2. Energy consumption
The final energy consumption of a luminaire over its assigned lifetime, expressed in kilowatt-hour, is calculated
as follows:
C = P x Assigned lifetime
With:
P = declared power of the lighting circuit in operation at declared power (in kilowatts) including all lamps,power
supplies and other components necessary for the proper functioning of the device. In the presenceof several
components, the power of the lighting equals to the sum of the powers of each component. The power of the lighting
must be justified by the manufacturer with a technical manual.
If the product is sold without light source (not equipped with lamp), it is necessary to take into account the power
of the lamps (lamps with the most impacts according to paragraph 3.5.4.4) to determine the value of P.
If the product is sold without control gear, it is necessary to take into account the power consumption of
the control gear with the highest impact (e.g. lowest control gear efficiency).

In case the use of a specific light source is recommended by the manufacturer, it might be considered.

PSR-0014-ed2.0-EN-2023 07 13 17

Assigned lifetime= lifetime of the luminaire declared by the manufacturer (in hours).

3.5.4.1.2. Luminaire with light management function

3.5.4.1.2.1. List of light management functions
This paragraph is intended to deal with the most common light management functions of the market. Anyother light
management function shall be described and justified in the LCA report.
Integrated on/off switches, or remote on/off switches, are not considered to be light management functions.
