The IEA 4E SSL Annex congratulates Professors Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura for their joint award of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded for developing blue-light LEDs that enables general illumination white-light LED products.
EMSA published the Policy Guidelines for Electric Motor Systems on 7 October 2014 at the Motor Summit.
Starting in 2011, the SSL Annex launched a study to review all of the major health-related literature associated with LED lighting. In 2014, the SSL Annex published a comprehensive review of this literature summarising the human health impacts of SSL.
Today, the IEA 4E SSL Annex, supported by ten national governments, announced the publication of a comprehensive review of all the current life-cycle assessment studies on Light
Today, the governments of ten countries announced the publication of the world’s largest interlaboratory comparison on solid state lighting (SSL). This project compares the ability of 110 laboratories worldwide to test Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps and luminaires. The outcome of this large-scale interlaboratory comparison will help governments and manufacturers around the world ensure that new LED products sold to consumers and companies are of high quality and meet the claimed performance.

The international comparison of the energy performance of distribution transformers and associated MEPS levels is now available. This report shows key differences in the spread of product performance in Australia, Canada, India, the Republic of Korea, and the USA. It also examines and compares variations in the scope and stringency of national minimum performance levels and other policies.
Austria – June 04, 2014
The benchmarking report discussing the international comparison of the energy performance of dishwashers in nine countries/regions is now available. It examines variations in the scope and stringency of national minimum performance levels and other policies and shows key differences in product performance between countries over the 1996-2012 period.
