Recently, many E26 interface LED bulbs on the Amazon online store have been removed because they do not provide energy labels, including many Chinese merchants.
Amazon.com said in an email to sellers that some of the E26-connected LED bulbs were removed because they did not comply with the US Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) "Energy Labeling" rules.
It is understood that according to the requirements of the US Federal Trade Commission FTC Decree, LED bulbs entering the US market need to be labeled with energy labels (black and white labels) on the packaging box and the lamp body to disclose the annual power consumption, life and other information of the product to the public. .
The FTC energy label was not implemented recently, but the US Amazon has recently rigorously reviewed this label.
Amazon officially gave a solution based on the LED light bulb off the event.
First, the merchant is required to contact the product supplier in time to obtain a picture containing the content of the energy label.
Second, if the product supplier has not done this test, samples should be provided to qualified third-party laboratories for testing, obtaining test reports, and making energy labels based on the template.
Third, the energy label is restored by the merchant after being uploaded to the official website of Amazon.
For light bulbs, there are always energy labeling requirements in the United States. According to the Federal Decree 16 CFR PART 305, the US Federal Trade Commission has placed an “energy label†on the bulb requirements of the E26 lamp.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is a federal agency that enforces multiple antitrust and consumer protection laws. The US Federal Trade Commission FTC issued an energy efficiency labeling rule in 1979 under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA).
The rules require energy labeling for consumer products such as major appliances to help consumers compare various types of products. When the rules were first published, the eight product categories were standardized: refrigerators, freezers, freezers, dishwashers, water heaters, washing machines, room air conditioners and stoves.
Later, the FTC expanded the scope of the rules, including central air conditioning, heat pumps, plumbing products, lighting products, ceiling fans and television sets.
The FTC issued a final amendment to expand the regulatory review of the bulb label. At the same time, the specific issues raised during the litigation process, such as product coverage, exemption, package size, product identification, testing, voluntary labeling, performance period, power claims and color appearance are discussed and analyzed.
Zhang Hong Zhang, general manager of the incentive test, said, “This energy label is actually a lot of years ago. It is not a new requirement for LED products. We have been asking for training when we give the company a product. The Lighting Facts label, if it is a luminaire, can apply for voluntary certification. It is a colored label. For the bulb type, a black and white label needs to be posted. This is what most manufacturers in the United States know about it. This label will be on the product box."
The FTC was not issued this year or recently. This regulation was established long before federal law. Only LED bulbs are exported to the United States, and a black and white label must be posted in accordance with federal regulations. The range of requirements is very narrow, just the E26 lamp head of the bulb type.
