Launch of IEA 4E SSL Annex 2017 Interlaboratory Comparison of Goniophotometer Measurements (IC 2017)
The IEA 4E Solid State Lighting Annex today is formally announcing a global interlaboratory comparison for goniophotometers (in short IC 2017). With 70 labs from around the world pre-registered, IC 2017 has the potential to be the largest single interlaboratory comparison of goniophotometers. The programme is designed in compliance with ISO/IEC 17043 to serve as a proficiency test for SSL testing accreditation programmes that recognise this comparison and it is based on the new CIE S 025/E:2015 test method for LED equipment.
The IEA 4E SSL Annex issues new report promoting CIE’s new global test standard
The IEA 4E Solid State Lighting Annex today published a new report promoting CIE’s new global test standard. The report, entitled “Application Study of CIE S 025/E:2015”, evaluates the new international standard for use by key stakeholders as the basis for measuring important quality and performance aspects of LED lighting products. The SSL Annex has concluded that the new CIE standard is suitable for its upcoming global interlaboratory comparison of goniophotometers.
IEA 4E SSL Annex shares lessons learned from government policies bringing LEDs to market
Today the IEA 4E Solid State Lighting Annex published a new policy report titled “Lessons Learned Bringing LEDs to Market” which highlights dozens of initiatives that contributed to the promotion of quality, energy-efficient lighting in the SSL Annex member country markets.

Pre-Announcement IEA 4E SSL Annex 2017 Interlaboratory Comparison of Goniophotometer Measurements (IC 2017)
Following the previous 2013 interlaboratory comparison where 110 labs from around the world were compared for measurements of LED lighting products, the International Energy Agency’s Energy-Efficient End-use Equipment Solid State Lighting Annex (IEA 4E SSL Annex) is preparing to launch the 2017 Interlaboratory Comparison (IC 2017) for goniophotometer measurements.
New LED performance recommendations help promote global harmonisation of product quality and performance
The IEA 4E SSL Annex published seven new and updated “quality and performance tiers” for popular LED lamps and luminaires. These seven documents offer policy makers and programme administrators guidance on which parameters to consider and the levels that may be appropriate when specifying or regulating LED products. Parameters include efficacy, lifetime, light colour, durability, and many other metrics.
