SCHEDULE 2 continued PART 4
1. A ballast for fluorescent lighting must be allocated to a category as described in table 1 in paragraph 3.
2. In respect of—
(a) the category of ballast shown in column 1 of table 2 in paragraph 4; and
(b) the lamp power shown for that category in column 2 of table 2,
the maximum input value of a ballast lamp circuit shall be the value shown in column 3 of table 2.
3. Table 1 referred to in paragraph 1—

5. For a ballast for fluorescent lighting designed for a lamp which falls between two values shown in table 2, the maximum input value of a ballast lamp circuit must be calculated by linear interpolation between the two values of maximum power for the two lamps which are closest in table 2 to the lamp in question.
6. For the purposes of this Part, a manufacturer must establish the electricity consumption for a ballast for fluorescent lighting in accordance with European Standard EN 50294.
