Ecodesign and Energy Labelling

This section offers a detailed insight into European legislation on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling, which lays down a comprehensive framework for setting Ecodesign requirements for nearly all physical goods in the EU market. In addition to the legal texts, the section includes documents such as working plans, reports, FAQs, and more. The database contains the most recent publications but also allows you to go back in time.

The framework demands improvements in product durability, reparability, upgradeability, reusability, and recyclability; attributes critical to HVACR products that traditionally consume substantial energy and resources throughout their lifecycle. The Regulation targets the elimination of premature obsolescence and promotes circular economy principles by aligning product design with the EU’s sustainability objectives. By harmonising these ecodesign requirements across the EU, the Regulation prevents fragmentation of the internal market caused by disparate national standards.
