# Commission Implementing Decision of 13 March 2013 on the approval of the use of light emitting diodes in certain lighting functions of an M1 vehicle as an innovative technology for reducing CO2 emissions from passenger cars pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/128/EU), Division 3: DETERMINATION OF THE SAVINGS IN ELECTRIC POWER CONSUMPTION DUE TO THE USE OF LEDS

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The savings in electric power consumption due to the LEDs are to be determined by comparing the electric power consumption of the baseline technology with that of the LEDs for each of the relevant lighting functions.
The total savings resulting from the comparison are to be multiplied by a usage factor representing the time during which the LEDs are fully activated.
The values specified in the table are to be applied for the electric power consumption of the base line technology and for the usage factors.
Electric energy consumption as determined in the Technical Guidelines for the preparation of applications for the approval of innovative technologies pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, ‘the Technical Guidelines’.
The usage factors as determined in the Technical Guidelines.
