We offer a one‑stop ErP certification solution from energy efficiency testing, assessment to label registration, helping you easily meet EU energy efficiency regulatory challenges.
EU ErP certification is a mandatory ecodesign requirement for energy‑related products in the EU and is one of the essential conditions for placing products on the EU market.
1. Regulatory basis
EU ErP Directive (2009/125/EC) and its specific product implementing measures.
2. Core requirements
Ecodesign requirements: Specify key technical parameters such as maximum energy consumption and minimum energy efficiency.
Energy label: A mandatory energy efficiency labelling system that provides consumers with clear energy class information.
3. Important note
ErP certification is not voluntary – it is mandatory. Products that do not meet the requirements cannot be sold on the EU market.
All energy‑related products sold in the EU market must meet the ErP Directive requirements:
✅ Manufacturers: Companies producing energy‑related products within the EU.
✅ Importers: Companies importing products from third countries (e.g., China) into the EU.
✅ Distributors: Companies selling energy‑related products in the EU market.
✅ Brand owners: Companies placing their own brand on products.
We have standardised the ErP certification process to ensure efficiency and compliance:
Step 1: Project assessment and solution development
Analyse the product category and applicable ErP implementing measures.
Develop a detailed testing and certification plan.
Step 2: Sample testing and data collection
Conduct energy efficiency tests in a professional energy efficiency laboratory.
Collect key data on energy efficiency, power consumption, performance, etc.
Step 3: Technical documentation preparation
Prepare compliant technical documentation.
Prepare the Declaration of Conformity.
Step 4: Energy label registration
Complete product registration in the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL).
Obtain the energy label model number.
Step 5: Delivery and ongoing support
Deliver complete technical documentation and the Declaration of Conformity.
Provide regulatory update alerts and market surveillance support.
To ensure smooth certification, please prepare the following:
(1) Product information
Product model, name, technical parameters.
(2) Technical documentation
Product design drawings, circuit diagrams, technical descriptions.
(3) Test samples
Representative samples that meet the requirements.
(4) Manufacturer information
Company name, address, contact details.
(5) Authorised representative information (if applicable)
Details of the EU authorised representative.

2. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long is ErP energy efficiency certification valid?
A: ErP certification itself has no fixed validity period. However, when product design or regulatory requirements change, the certification must be reassessed or updated.
Q: How are ErP energy label classes determined?
A: The new ErP energy label uses classes from A to G, where A represents the highest energy efficiency and G the lowest.
Q: How long does it take to complete ErP energy efficiency certification?
A: Typically 2 weeks when all documentation is complete. The exact time depends on product complexity and testing items.
Q: Do all products need ErP energy efficiency certification?
A: Not all products, but the scope is very wide, covering energy‑related products such as household appliances, lighting products, heating equipment, electronic devices, etc.
