EU Ecodesign & Energy Labelling

Tools & Services
This portal offers guidance and tools for suppliers, dealers, and installers concerning the EU ecodesign and labelling legislation. The focus is on new regulations from 2023 to 2027, especially for heating, air conditioning, smartphones & slate tablets and white goods (tumble dryers). More tools and information will be provided depending on the finalisation of regulations by the European Commission.

The portal is funded by the EU LIFE programme, though neither the operators nor the EC are responsible for the accuracy of the information. Legal interpretations are only binding when issued by the EU court of justice.

Key changes include revised efficiency requirements, updated calculation methods, new rules on spare parts and recycling, and coverage of additional technologies and smart functionalities. The revision of the energy labelling regulation is still ongoing, but both regulations are expected to apply simultaneously. Read more.
