On April 22-24, 2015 the Global Efficient Lighting Center (GELC) in Beijing, China hosted a laboratory training workshop on lamp testing, as part of a capacity building project for efficient lighting monitoring, verification and enforcement (MVE) in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, funded by the Australian government and implemented by the UNEP en.lighten initiative. The training brought together 17 participants from five Southeast Asia countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. Participants were provided with the required technical background on the testing of energy efficient lighting products to: understand how to establish effective quality management systems for lighting products; support countries’ MVE schemes by providing internationally recognised and reliable test results; and support the development of high efficiency lighting products by measuring the energy usage related to specific innovations or techniques.
