Version 1.1 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR product specifications for solid-state luminaires will take effect on April 1, 2012, and replace the existing Residential Light Fixtures (RLF, V4.2) and Solid State Lighting Luminaires (SSL, V1.3) specifications. The lamps specification in is still under development, which is expected to consolidate the LED integral replacement lamp and compact fluorescent lamp specifications into a single specification.
EPA-recognized testing facilities were asked to stop certifying new products under the old luminaire specifications (Residential Light Fixtures V4.2 and Solid State Lighting Luminaires V1.3) on September 15, 2011. All products manufactured on or after April 1, 2012, must be certified under the new Luminaires V1.1 specification in order to use the ENERGY STAR label.
