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 prevent the least energy-efficient products from entering the EU-market. The regulations set minimum requirements for energy efficiency, functionality and product information. - Energy labelling
The information requirements specified in these regulations highlight the most energy-efficient products on the market and make it possible to compare products on a homogenous basis.
Product Categories:
- Cooking
- Cleaning and Drying
- Refrigeration
- Heating, Cooling and Ventilation
- Electronic Products
- Light Sources
- Tyres
- B2B Products
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.
