Resources for policymakers and regulators
This section provides links to a range of materials which provide a valuable resource for policymakers and regulators when considering setting up or revising standards and labelling policies for energy efficient lighting.
This includes the:
- Reports and guides produced by lites.asia
- Materials from lites.asia meetings
- Materials produced by the ASEAN SHINE - Lighting programme
- Materials produced by the Southeast Asia and Pacific Monitoring, Verification and Enforcement Project managed by UNEP en.lighten, including an evaluation report on the project
- Materials of relevance lites.asia members from past IEC lighting standard committee meetings
lites.asia Reports and Guides
Periodically, lites.asia produces reports and guides at the request of members. Copies of those that are publically available can be downloaded via the links below.
- Collaborative labelling display survey
- lites.asia regional position paper on current status, opportunities and constraints on efficient lighting in Asia
- Consumer Guide to Buying LEDs
- lites.asia resolution on proposal for IEC CFL technical specification
- IEC LED lighting standards summary
- lites.asia tropical performance criteria for LEDs
ASEAN SHINE - Lighting materials
The ASEAN Standards Harmonization Initiative for Energy efficiency (ASEAN SHINE) is a United Nations Environment Programme-International Copper Association (UNEP-ICA) initiative implemented under the steering of the ten ASEAN Ministries of Energy. Initiated in 2013, ASEAN SHINE started with a focus on air conditioners with the ambitious objective of market transformation in favor of higher efficiency air conditioners. Following the success in this sector, ASEAN SHINE was extended in early 2016 to include lighting products under ASEAN SHINE - Lighting.
Following the same methodology adopted for air conditioners, ASEAN SHINE - Lighting has started work to harmonize ASEAN standards for efficient lighting (with priority on liner fluorescent lamps and non-directional LED) and develop a regional policy roadmap to set long-term aspirational goals in terms of Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and market transformation (which will be followed by national policy roadmaps).
Copies of the materials developed as part of the ASEAN SHINE - Lighting project can be downloaded via the links below.
