We have deep expertise in the EU energy efficiency regulatory system, helping you precisely meet the world‘s strictest energy requirements and turning compliance challenges into competitive advantages.
The EU has the most stringent and systematic energy efficiency regulatory framework in the world. Your products must satisfy all the following conditions before they can be legally placed on the market:
1. ErP Directive ecodesign requirements
Regulatory nature: Mandatory
Core requirements: Specify ecodesign parameters such as maximum energy consumption, minimum energy efficiency, resource efficiency, etc.
Products covered: Almost all energy‑related products
2. Energy label registration
Regulatory nature: Mandatory
Core requirements: New A‑G label system; products must be registered in the EU product database
Products covered: Household appliances, lighting, heating equipment, etc.
3. Technical documentation preparation
Regulatory nature: Mandatory
Core requirements: Technical documents including product energy data and test reports must be kept for 10 years for inspection
Products covered: All products subject to the ErP Directive

2. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the EU energy label registration process take?
A: EPREL database registration typically takes 2‑4 weeks when test data is complete. However, initial testing and assessment times vary depending on product complexity.
Q: Which is the highest class in the new A‑G energy label system?
A: Class A is the highest and Class G the lowest. The new label has eliminated the previous A+++ and A++ classes, returning to a simple A‑G scale.
Q: How long must technical documentation be kept?
A: Under EU regulations, technical documentation must be kept for 10 years from the date the last product of a model is placed on the market.
Q: Does a product design change require re‑certification?
A: Yes. Any design change that may affect the product‘s energy performance requires re‑assessment, and the energy label and registration information must be updated if necessary.
