What tests for lighting products do not have to be undertaken in an EPA-recognized laboratory? Where can these tests, if any, be done?
Does a supervised or witnessed manufacturer’s test laboratory (SMTL/WMTL) need to be able to carry out all the test methods listed in the ENERGY STAR Guide to EPA Laboratory Recognition by Lighting Category?
What tests are required to list an LED light engine on the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD), so that it can be used to qualify a product to the Luminaires specification?
What tests are required to list a GU24 LED lamp on the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD), so that it can be used to qualify a product to the Luminaires specification?
What tests are required to list a lamp-ballast platform on the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD), so that it can be used to qualify a product to the Luminaires specification?
What tests are required to list a ballast on the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD), so that it can be used to qualify a product to the Luminaires specification?
What tests are required to list an externally ballasted lamp on the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD), so that it can be used to qualify a product to the Luminaires specification?
What tests are required to list a self-ballasted fluorescent or high intensity discharge (HID) GU24 lamp on the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD), so that it can be used to qualify a product to the Luminaires specification?
How should lighting test procedures be listed on a laboratory's scope of accreditation?
Must a lab be accredited to all of the test methods for a given lighting specification sub-category to be recognized?
For the Luminaires specification, what lamps should be used to test linear fluorescent luminaires that will not ship with lamps?
While the Luminaires specification has a lamp shipment requirement exception for linear fluorescent lamps, what requirements must be met if lamps are shipped?
In Luminaires V1.1, if I use Solid-State Lighting (SSL) V1.3 for the three exceptions on pages 9 and 10, will I need to retest when IES LM-82 is published? Which specification's requirements are applicable? Will I need to recertify using LM-82 if I manufacture after LM-82 is published?
What Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements must be met to qualify products to an ENERGY STAR lighting specification (e.g. Luminaires, Integral LED Lamps, Compact Fluorescent Lamps)?
For qualification using the Ceiling Fan or Luminaires specification, do ceiling fan light kits with multiple non-directional heads need to provide 800 lumens per head?
Are there limitations on the lumen value that appears on packaging for ENERGY STAR Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) and Integral LED Lamps?
Does the ENERGY STAR Manufacturer’s Guide for Qualifying Solid State Lighting Luminaires apply to the new Luminaires specification?
How does one comply with the ENERGY STAR CFL packaging requirements and the new FTC labeling requirements?
For solid state down lights to be qualified using the Luminaires specification, does the color angular uniformity requirement need to be met using every available trim option?
For decorative lamps to qualify using the Integral LED Lamps specification, what value should be referenced if no ANSI maximum lamp space drawing exists for the lamp shape in question?
Are commercial luminaires eligible for ENERGY STAR?
Can laboratories receive EPA-recognition to test products under the Luminaires V1.1 specification as well as be recognized to test luminaire subcomponents? If so, can laboratories use the same application, or would separate applications be needed?
In the Luminaires V1.1 specification, the Color Angular Uniformity Requirements state that measurements shall be taken throughout the zonal lumen density angles detailed on pages 11-13, and 5 degrees beyond. If a directional luminaire has light output only to 20°, for example a recessed down light with a narrow distribution, does it need to be measured all the way out to the angles detailed in the specification?
Can GU24-based light bulbs that were qualified to the Residential Light Fixture specification be automatically certified and listed on the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD), or are they first subject to third-party certification?
What is the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD)? Where can I find more information about what can be listed, and how it can be useful for qualifying luminaires with ENERGY STAR?
On the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD), the data submission form for ballasts has a field for “run-up time”. Is this required, and what number should be entered?
Are subcomponents listed on the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD) subject to verification testing?
Can data for subcomponents that were listed on the NEMA/ALA Lamp-Ballast matrix be directly transferred to the Certified Lighting Subcomponent Database (CSD)?
Can the test data for a screw-based E26-based lamp be used to qualify a GU24-based lamp?
For ENERGY STAR qualification using the Luminaires specification, should my decorative pendant luminaire be categorized as a directional down light? Or should it be categorized as a non-directional luminaire?
If a lighting product (compact fluorescent lamp, integral LED lamp, luminaire) was damaged during testing, can it be repaired and testing resumed for purposes of ENERGY STAR?
Does the lamp base variation allowance in the Integral LED Lamp specification allow me to qualify a PAR30-short neck lamp and PAR30-long neck lamp with the same test data?
When was the Integral LED Lamps specification V1.4 made effective?
Does the removal of the “Laboratory Requirements” column in the Integral LED Lamps specification (V1.4) imply that self-certification is permitted?
The Luminaires specification has a tighter color angular uniformity requirement than the color maintenance requirement. Is this an error?
Can a recessed troffer fixture be qualified as a downlight under the Luminaires specification?
Has the effective date for the Luminaires specification been finalized?
In Luminaires V1.1, were there any changes in sample sizes?
When can manufacturers certify, label, and sell light fixtures qualified to the new Luminaires specification?
What are the allowable variations within product families for qualified luminaires?
For the Center Beam Candle Power (CBCP) tool, should a certification body use the measured or reported value to evaluate the products?
When qualifying a product to the Integral LED Lamps specification, how should an integral LED lamp failure be treated when calculating lumen maintenance?
For the Integral LED Lamps specification, does EPA require compliance with Maximum Outline Dimensions detailed in ANSI lamp shape standards?
What lamp bases are allowed under the Integral LED lamps specification?
Does EPA provide interpretations of UL standards or the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Electromagnetic Interference test procedures?
Do all qualified ENERGY STAR luminaires have to ship with a lamp?
Where is the Center Beam Intensity Tool located?
There are different requirements between the lighting specifications. Can criteria from two or more different specifications be applied to certify a product? For example, is it possible to qualify a product to the Solid-State Lighting Luminaires V1.3 specification but use the Color Angular Uniformity exemption of the Luminaires V1.1 specification?
For qualification, do all test reports have to come from a single laboratory, or is it acceptable to submit test reports from multiple laboratories?

For Integral LED Lamps, what data can be shared among allowable product variations?
Some lighting specifications indicate that certain criteria may be “Self-Certified.” Is this allowed?
Is accreditation to the CFL version 4.0 Elevated Temperature Test required for recognition for the CFL and Integral LED Lamp programs?
How should a laboratory's scope of accreditation list accreditation to test ENERGY STAR Decorative Light Strings (DLS)?
How are the ENERGY STAR lamp product packaging requirements applied to products that are sold only in Canada and not available in the United States?
Does EPA’s recognition of a lighting laboratory to the lighting specifications currently in effect mean that they are automatically recognized for the Luminaires specification or the upcoming Lamps specification?
