Applicable regulatory framework
ERP Directive 2009/125/EC (Ecological Design Directive): Setting mandatory ecological design requirements
Energy Efficiency Labeling Regulation (EU) 2017/1369: Replace the old Regulation (EU) No 1060/2010 to regulate the energy efficiency labeling system
Product specific implementation regulations: Electric ovens are subject to (EU) No 65/2014 (Ecological Design Requirements for Household Cooking
Utensils) and (EU) No 392/2012 (Energy Efficiency Labeling Requirements)
Scope of application defined
Covering household electric ovens (including embedded and independent)
Partial commercial or professional use electric ovens may be exempted, specific evaluation is required
Gas ovens are subject to different regulatory systems and are not included in this category
Core energy efficiency indicators
Energy Efficiency Index (EEI)
Calculate the ratio of energy consumption based on standard test cycles to reference energy consumption
Key parameters determining the classification of energy efficiency levels
Classification of energy efficiency levels (A to G)
Starting from March 2021, the revised level standards will be implemented
The original A+++to D level system has been abolished to avoid "level inflation" at the top of the label
Functional performance requirements
Power consumption limit for standby/shutdown
Matching efficiency between oven cavity volume and energy consumption
Performance indicators such as temperature uniformity (ecological design requirements)
Testing standards and methods
EN 60350-1: Performance testing methods for household electric cooking appliances
The standard testing conditions include: specific test load, temperature setting, and test cycle
Testing must be completed in an accredited laboratory to ensure reproducibility of the data
Compliance process path
Technical document preparation
Product design drawings and specifications
Test report (issued by a qualified third-party laboratory)
Compliance Assessment Record
Energy Efficiency Label Design Draft
Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
Signed by the manufacturer or authorized representative of the European Union
Declaration that the product complies with ERP directives and applicable implementation regulations
Energy Efficiency Label Registration
Register product information through the EPREL database (European Product Database for Energy Labeling)
Generate a unique registration number for label printing
Starting from 2021, all new products will be mandatory to be included
Label information elements
Supplier name or trademark
Model identifier
Energy Efficiency Rating (A-G)
Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) value
Energy consumption per standard cycle (kWh)
Chamber volume (liters)
EPREL registration number and QR code
Market supervision and consequences of violations
Market supervision agencies of EU member states have the right to conduct spot checks and verifications
Non compliant products face the risk of delisting, recall, and fines
False energy efficiency statements may lead to legal proceedings and loss of brand reputation
