The Phase-Out 2008 Conference was held at the Sofitel Hyland Hotel, Shanghai, China between May 12-14 May, 2008, with workshops and factory visits between 14-16 May, 2008. More than 100 delegates from over 20 countries attended the conference, coming from a range of lighting companies, industry organisations, government regulators and non-government organisations. Phase-Out 2008 was an opportunity for key stakeholders to meet and exchange information on the initiatives taking place around the globe, consider key challenges to the phase-out and implications for industry, and identify how the move towards efficient lighting can benefit from cooperation at the regional and international level.
The conference was organised by the Australian Government, as part of its commitment to the Asia Pacific Partnership on Climate Change, in partnership with the Global Environment Facility, the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Development Programme, the China Association of Lighting Industry and the International Energy Agency.

Welcome and Background on CFL Welcome and Background on CFL Harmonisation Efforts - Stuart Jeffcott (251 kB) CFL Quality In Asia: Not Yet a Crisis... - My Ton, USAID ECO-Asia Clean Development and Climate Programme (1.2 MB) CFL Quality Certification - Uwe Weber, ELI Certification Institute (823 kB) A Proposal: A Voluntary Marking System for CFL Quality in Asia - Peter Du Pont, USAID ECO-Asia Clean Development and Climate Programme (2.2 MB)A full day workshop was held to focus on the Global Environment Facility's (GEF) decision to provide financial, technical and policy assistance to facilitate the phase out of energy inefficient lighting in developing countries. The GEF project is to be implemented through the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The effort comprises a global project and a series of focused projects in a selection of national or regional markets.
GEF, UNEP and UNDP convened the special meeting to develop, design, refine and finalize the global project. The discussions focused on shaping the activities, outcomes, and outputs of the multiyear collaborative efforts to help GEF beneficiary countries work out how to phase-out inefficient lighting in their own economies.
Delegates visited one of the world's largest CFL manufacturers - TCP - to inspect an integrated factory that undertakes every part of the CFL manufacturing process, from ballast and tube production, through tube coating and mercury insertion and finally assembly and testing.
