Basic Introduction:

Most electronic products sold in the European market are required to comply with the European Energy Efficiency Label. BACL provides relevant European energy efficiency testing services in accordance with (EU) 2017/1369, 2000/55/EC, ErP 2009/125/EC (6 STAGES) and other directives and standards, and evaluates energy product grades (A~G) according to the test results. , and issue a complete test report. At present, the products subject to compulsory certification are: fluorescent lamps, refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, air-conditioning electric stoves below 12KW, etc.

1. On July 28, 2017, the European Council announced the new Energy Efficiency Labeling Framework Directive (EU) 2017/1369, which came into effect 4 days after the publication date, that is, August 1, 2017. EU repealed.

2. On March 11, 2019, the European Union officially issued a new regulation (EU) 2019/2015 on energy efficiency labeling, which will be enforced from September 1, 2021. At the same time, Regulation (EU) 874/2012 will be immediately repealed. The main changes in the new regulations are as follows:

• Energy efficiency class from A++ to E, updated to A to G;

• Updated calculation method of energy efficiency class;

• The regulations give a sampling inspection tolerance of 0. This tolerance is only applicable to the judgment of sampling inspection, and shall not be used for technical documents and conformity judgment;

• Regulations define the format of labels.

3. On February 26, 2021, the Official Gazette of the European Union published a supplement to the ErP Eco-design Regulation COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/2020, which updated the requirements for strobe SVM, considering that it is difficult for products at this stage to meet SVM Therefore, the previous SVM≤0.4 was changed to SVM≤0.9, and transitioned to September 1, 2024. From September 1, 2024, the requirement was changed to SVM≤0.4.
