How to assess the compliance of the physical product?
Measurement methods and standards
This section provides you guidance on how to assess the compliance of your physical product.
The measurement methods are partly defined in the ecodesign (Annex III) and energy labelling regulations (Annex IV) and partly in the relevant standards.
Both regulations provide identical methods and the application of the provisions is mandatory, i.e. no other methods shall replace the provisions set out there.
For methods not specified in the regulations, relevant standards shall be used. As far as available, harmonized standards should be taken as a basis, because the market surveillance authorities will use them for conformity assessment as well.
