Energy Efficiency Testing for Europe
ErP Directive (EuP Directive)
The Eco-design Directive for Energy-Related Products (2009/125/EC) establishes a framework under which manufacturers of energy-related products (ErP) will, at the design stage, be obliged to increase energy efficiency and reduce products’ negative environmental impacts. Learn more about ErP
European Energy Label Testing
Intertek provides local, independent testing for the EU Energy Label according to Directives 92/42/EEC, 96/57/EC, and 2000/55/EC. Most Electrical and Electronic products selling in Europe are required to comply with the European Energy Label regulation. Energy consumption of household appliances may influence buyer choice and prompt manufacturers to take steps to reduce it. This scheme will encourage more efficient use of these appliances. It will also provide potential buyers with supplementary standardized information on those appliances’ costs in terms of energy and the consumption of other resources.
European Energy Label is mandatory for some products, e.g. refrigerated appliances, washing machines and washer dryers, tumble dryers, dishwashers, electric ovens, light bulbs and air-conditioners under 12 kW.
