Guidance on how to figure out...

Is your product in scope?

As a supplier, you must first determine whether your product is in or out of the scope of the ecodesign and energy labelling regulations:

  • Ecodesign (environmentally-friendly design)
    These regulations make it impossible for the least energy-efficient products to enter the market. Sets minimum requirements to energy efficiency, functionality and product information.
  • Energy labelling
    These regulations highlight the most energy-efficient products on the market and make it possible to compare products on a homogenous basis.

You can determine whether your product is covered by ecodesign and energy labelling requirements by investigating the product-specific ecodesign and energy labelling regulations. In each regulation please look into articles 1 and 2. These two articles describe the scope of the regulations and also define which kind of product types the regulation does not apply to.
