## 6.11 For Manufacturers – Certification to the Energy Commission

The following are guidelines for manufacturers to ensure their lighting products meet residential lighting requirements of the Energy Standards:

Light source products (luminaires, lamps and light sources) that are required to comply with Reference Joint Appendix JA8 shall be marked with JA8-2019 or JA8-2019-E.

For lighting control and light source products to be certified to the Energy Commission (as defined in §100.1), the manufacturer must comply with the requirements of certification. Certification and certification can be done on the Energy Commission’s Certify My Product webpage, which is at http://www.energy.ca.gov/appliances/, and under the heading “Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDBS)”. The procedures include filling out a certification packet and submitting a declaration of compliance, executed under penalty of perjury of the laws of California, that the regulated product meets the requirements.

Building departments, builders, contractors, and lighting designers also use the database to verify that a regulated product has been certified to the Energy Commission by the manufacturer.

Luminaires do not need to be shipped with a JA8 lamp by manufacturers.

### 6.11.1 Luminaires and Lamps and Other Light Sources Complying with JA8 and JA10

Joint Appendix JA8 , “Qualification Requirements for High Efficacy Light Sources,” is a technical specification with requirements for high-efficacy light sources which can be luminaires or lamps.

Joint Appendix JA10, “Test Method for Measuring Flicker of Lighting Systems and Reporting Requirements,” is a supplement to the reduced flicker operation requirement of JA8 JA10 describes the test method to measure the flickering of light from the lighting system. The test involves using signal processing to remove high frequency components and quantifies flicker as a percent amplitude modulation below a given cut-off frequency.

In the 2019 Energy Standards, the testing procedures and the requirement for lumen maintenance and rated life, the start time and audible noise of JA8 have been harmonized with the ENERGY STAR® programs for lamps and for luminaires.

Product manufacturers wanting to meet requirements of the ENERGY STAR® program and JA8 of California Energy Code can use the following information to review applicable lamp and luminaire type for both standards. More information can be found at the ENERGY STAR® program.

### 6.11.2 Lamps and Luminaires Associated with ENERGY STAR® Programs

Lamps and luminaires associated with ENERGY STAR® program that meet JA8 of California Energy Code are in the following table as references.

#### Table 6-5: Lamps and Luminaires Associated with ENERGY STAR® Programs

ENERGY STAR® programs | Intended Products
ENERGY STAR® Program for Lamps | ANSI Standard Lamp Shape
A, BT, P, PS, S and T
B, BA, C, CA, DC, F, G, and ST
R, BR, ER, MR, MRX and PAR
ENERGY STAR® Program for Luminaires | Directional luminaires with solid state light sources, including accent lights, cover mount and cabinet lights, downlights, outdoor lighting.
Non-directional luminaires, including wrapped lens, wall sconces & retrofits, decorative pendants, ceiling mount & retrofits, linear strip, bath vanity, chandeliers, and outdoor ceiling or close-to-ceiling, porch or post mount.
Inseparable SSL luminaires not listed as directional luminaires above.

Guidance on Luminaire Products in Meeting Lumen Maintenance and Rated Life Requirements

1. For Option 1 (for LED packages, LED modules or LED arrays including those incorporated into luminaires, retrofit kits and LED light engines - as allowed under the ENERGY STAR® program product specifications for Luminaires):

• Either IES LM-80-08 and its Addendum A or IES TM-80-15 can be used for as the lumen maintenance measurement method.

2. For Option 2 (for LED luminaires, LED retrofit kits, or LED light engines):

• IES LM-84-14 and TM-28-14 can be used as the lumen maintenance measurement method.

Guidance on Lamp Products in Meeting Lumen Maintenance and Rated Life Requirements

1. For LED lumen maintenance test method:

• Besides the ENERGY STAR® Ambient Temperature Life test and Elevated Temperature Life test, either IES LM-80-08 and its Addendum A or IES TM-80-15 can be used.

2. For LED lumen maintenance projection method:

• Either 10 CFR Part 430 Appendix BB to Subpart B, or IES TM-21-11 and its Addendum B can be used.

3. Linear or tubular lamp products can be tested under the ENERGY STAR® Product Specification for Lamps Version 2.1 for the Lumen Maintenance of Section 10 (ENERGY STAR® Lamps, Version 2.1). The products shall be tested in the horizontal position.

Light source products other than those mentioned above:

All other light sources (not covered in the intended scope of ENERGY STAR® Program for Lamps and for Luminaires; not linear and tubular lamps) can be tested as specified in Section 10 of the ENERGY STAR® Product Specification for Luminaire Version 2.1.

### 6.11.3 Marking Designation and Product Data Required for Certified JA8 Luminaires, Lamps and Light Sources

Certified JA8 products including luminaires, lamps and light sources shall have the marking showing it meets the requirement of Section JA8.5.

Table 6-6 shows different marking designations depending on the light source type.

Table 6-7 shows the product date to be submitted to the Energy Commission for meeting the requirements of Section JA8.6.

#### Table 6-6: Summary of Marking Designation for
Certified JA8 luminaires, Lamps and Light Sources

Light Source Types | Marking Designation | Testing Notes for Meeting the Lumen Maintenance and Rated Life Requirements
1.Ceiling recessed downlight luminaires | JA8-2019 | Ceiling recessed downlight luminaires that have passed rated life test of ENERGY STAR® Product Spec for Luminaire Version 2.1.
2.Lamps and Light Sources installed in enclosed or recessed luminaires | JA8-2019-E | Light sources that have passed the elevated temperature life test of ENERGY STAR® Product Spec for lamp Version 2.1; or the rated life test of ENERGY STAR® Product Spec for Luminaire Version 2.1.
3.Light Sources other than #1 and #2. | JA8-2019 | Lighting sources tested per Section 10 of ENERGY STAR® Product Spec for Lamp Version 2.1 or per Section 10 of ENERGY STAR® Product Spec for Luminaire Version 2.1, and meet Section JA8.4.5.
