The European Union in 2010 released on September 18, be not directional light source EC244/2009 EuP instruction execution measures trainingand regulations (EC859/2009). According to the instructions, the eu will gradually banned inefficient bulb (traditional incandescent light bulb and traditional halogen bulbs), all non directional lamps and lanterns (bulbs) must comply with the lowest energy efficiency regulations. Phasing out measures in 2009 September 1st, provisions from 2009 September 1, opaque bulb must belong to A level category (according to the European Union energy efficiency label classification). Transparent bulb at least must reach energy efficiency label class C categories. Since 2016, transparent bulb request will be promoted to grade B categories, namely, new technology, or unless appear since 2016 eu market sales transparent lights will have efficiency grade B of low-pressure halide lamp and energy efficiency grade C with G9 or R7s lamp lights. Then household lights will with energy-efficient compact fluorescent lamps and leds (if LED household lights technology proliferates) primarily. In addition, the regulations of the rated life, optic maintenance ratio, scrap before switch cycle times, premature scrap rate, start time, colour developing index and energy efficiency related performance indexes of clear-cut provisions.

                 National electric light source for quality supervision and inspection center (Shanghai) executive deputy director YuAnQi thought, LED is very good directional sex illuminant, meanwhile LED also can pass lamps and lanterns and light distribution design into various not directional light or applied to lamps and lanterns, i.e. LED both can make it has direction of lamp, also can make it without direction lamp used directly to replace traditional light source. The eu's this regulation, to a certain extent, indicated the recent LED lighting products development direction for Chinese LED lighting products production enterprise in Europe market created huge opportunity. Aiming at EC244/2009 instructions, YuAnQi pointed out that LED in energy efficiency, switch impact, start time, mercury content, etc. Aspects and traditional illuminant compared with an unmatched congenital superiority, but in the present technical level, color rendering, optic maintenance ratio and service life also need to make great efforts. China LED lighting products enterprise as long as in the above aspects seriously, this is perceived as "green trade barriers" legislation is can break through, then the regulations will become China instead of LED lighting products marketing Europe "green channel". Philips lighting asia-pacific solid-state lighting standardization director ZongMingCheng also said, from the current LED the development of it, all the LED illumination lamps and lanterns have reached or than the European Union energy efficiency label of A specified level, China is developing energy efficiency standards, to A certain extent, higher than the European Union set by the index, so the eu's energy efficiency label system won't clearly to Chinese LED enterprise caused trade barriers, but for specific companies, still should make product quality, reduce light failure and improve service life and color rendering.
