The aim of this Working Group is to develop global guidance on consistently evaluating the environmental impact of lighting and systems throughout their lifespan, from production to disposal and drive global convergence. The Working Group will focus on sustainability topics such as Life Cycle Assessments, Environmental Product Declarations, Lifetime and Repairability & Extended Producer Responsibility.

Guidelines for Repairability of Luminaires (January 2026)
Across the globe, differences in customer preferences, codes, standards, regulations, and logistical complexities drive the procurement, installation, and end-of-life management of luminaires, resulting in the development of different models designed to minimise the environmental impacts. The lighting industry is increasingly focused on addressing this issue through thoughtful design and specification, including designing luminaires for component replaceability and product repairability.
Implementing Internationally Harmonised Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for Lighting Products
Climate change and increases in global population will require additional efforts to reduce the impact humans have on the environment. The global movement towards product sustainability has driven an intensified focus on understanding the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycles.
