Typically common mistakes observed by market surveillance

We have compiled the findings from previous market surveillance actions, where similar mistakes have been frequently detected:

• No entry in EPREL
• When an entry in EPREL, missing values for major technical parameters
• Major errors in Declaration of Conformity (DoC):
  • Ecodesign regulation not referenced; supplier name and address missing; model and brand name unclear
  • Minor errors such as measurement standard not mentioned, DoC issued after product placed on market etc.
• Not meeting the ecodesign performance requirements based on technical documentation (electric heaters placed on the market without controls; emissions not reported (gas); missing information so not able to calculate performance)
• Provisional of online energy label and product information sheet was very poor - none of the websites were fully compliant for all the heaters listed.
