EuP (Energy Using Products)

Covers the whole life cycle of any product that uses energy. Framework directive for the setting of eco-design requirements for energy- using products. Informally known as the Design for Environment (DfE) Directive. Design simplicity, multi-functionality, longevity. Reduction of use of source materials. Reduction/substitution of hazardous substances. Use of renewable materials. Recyclability/recycling of materials. Minimisation of energy consumption, pollution and waste during use. Material recovery. Non-conforming goods will be prohibited from being sold in the EU. August 2007: Statutory Instrument (SI 2007 No. 2037) implementing the EuP Directive 2005/32/EC, came into force on 11 August 2007.

What is the EuP directive?

• The EuP directive was published in the EU

Official Journal on the 22nd July 2005.

• Member states are supposed to transpose it

into national law by 11th AUG 2007.

• The directive lays down a set of ECO design

requirements for energy using products.

• It creates a framework for integration of various

environmental aspects such as: energy efficiency, hazardous substances, water consumption or noise emissions into the EuPs design.

Why legislate the design process?

• It is estimated that over 80% of all product-related

environmental impacts are determined during the product design phase.

• The directive states in the introduction:

“Action should be taken during the design phase of EuPs since it appears that the pollution caused during a product LC is determined at that stage, & most costs involved are committed then.”

• EuPs account for a large proportion of the consumption
• f natural resources & energy of the EU.

Background

• Initially there were 2 pieces of legislation in preparation:

Framework directive on impact on the ENV. of EEE, which was based on LCT, allowing the manuf. to find the optimal balance between economic, social, technical & ENV. requirements when designing his products. Framework directive on energy efficiency for end use equipment (EER), aimed to help commitments under Kyoto protocol on combating climate change. The aim of this proposal was to set specific req. for energy consumption of products targeted in so called “implementing measures”

• On 1 AUG 2003 the 2 draft directives were combined to

became the EuP directive. It tries to combine the original principle of LCT with setting of more specific req. on EER.

Who will it affect?

• A product that uses electricity, fossil fuels or renewable

energy sources during its use stage of the life cycle.

• A product used for generation, transfer or measurement
• f energy.
• Parts dependent on energy input supplied to end-users

as individual parts & can be assessed for ENV. performance.

• Component & sub-assembly manufacturers may- under

the implementing legislation – have to supply material composition & energy / material consumption data to the EuP producer (the enforcement isn’t clear yet).

Who is exempted?

• It doesn’t apply to transportation vehicles for people or

goods . E.g. cars, trucks, ships, aero planes & rails.

• It isn’t clear weather the above includes agricultural &

construction equipment that can move.

• Defense equipment isn’t exempted.

What is a framework directive?

• The framework sets a template for legislation on specific

product groups.

• The specific product groups will follow the parts of the

template that are applicable to those groups.

• The framework will allow the rapid implementation of

legislation on products under the scope of the EuP in a standardized manner.

• The EuP directive will not directly create obligation &

requirements for manufacturers. This will happen only when implementing measures are adopted.

Self regulation requirements

• Open to all countries for participation & implementation.
• Must provide positive improvements to the eco performance of the

EuP.

• Must represent a large majority of the industry relevant sector.
• Must have clear measurable objectives, including time span & use of

scientific data to develop the indicators.

• Transparent: stakeholders including EU states , NGOs. Industry &

consumer associations must have access to interim & final reports.

• Good monitoring system with independent inspectors.
• Should be cost effective, especially with regards to monitoring.
• Consistent with economic/social dimensions of sustainable

development.

• Compatible with external factors e.g. market pressures, taxes, etc.

List of EuPs covered by regulation (1)

• 1. Household appliances: washing machines,

clothes dryers, dish washers, electric ovens, microwave ovens, toasters, fryers, grinders, coffee machines, equip. for opening & sealing containers & packages, electric knives, appliances for cooking, processing the food, cleaning & maintenance of clothes. Appliances for hair cutting, hair drying, tooth brushing, shaving, massage & other body care appliances.

• 2. Information technology equipment intended

primarily for use in domestic environment.

List of EuPs covered by regulation (2)

• 3. Consumer equipment: radio & TV sets, video cameras,

video recorders, hi-fi recorders, audio amplifiers, home theatre systems, musical instruments & other similar equipment.

• 4. Toys, leisure & sports equipment, electric train or car

racing sets, hand held video game consoles.

• 5. Heating & water heating equipment.
• 6. Electric motor systems.
• 7. Office equipment.
• 8. Heating & ventilating air conditioning system ( HVAC).

Impact assessment

• Option 1: No EU action- This option implies that market failure

would persist, & expects that the member states will take non – harmonized action on stand by/off mode .

• Option 2: Self regulation- no industrial sector has brought forward

any initiative for self regulation of stand by/off mode for EEE.

• Option 3: ECO design requirements for stand by/off mode set only

under specific eco design implementing measures.

• Option 4: Labeling targeting the energy consumption of stand by/off

mode.

• Option 5: ”Horizontal“ ECO design implementing regulation on

stand by/off mode functions. This option is estimated to lead to reduction of some 35 Tera watt electricity by 2020 in EU from house holds appliances. The measure is highly cost effective for

• consumers. In addition, it complies with the specific mandate given

to the Commission by the EU Council & Parliament.

Staged Implementation

• It is proposed to introduce max. power levels in two stages:

First stage: Products placed on the market 1 year after the proposed regulation has come in force, must have max. power consumption of 1watt for off mode/standby / reactivation function only & 2 watt for standby/reactivation & display functions only.

• Second stage: Products placed on the market 4 years after the

proposed regulation has come in force, must have max. power consumption of ½ watt for off mode/standby / reactivation function

• nly & 1 watt for standby/reactivation & display functions only.
• Definitions for “off mode“ & “ standby mode” – are based on a

preparatory study based on the ongoing revision of IEC 62301 “Stand by standard”. Conditions of equip. involving sensor- based safety functions aren’t included in the definition of the stand by in

• rder to prevent that safety functions from being left out of the
• equip. merely for the sake of meeting eco-design requirements.

CE Marking

• All EuPs covered by an implementing measure will require to have a

technical file to demonstrate conformance.

• The technical file will cover both the generic & specific eco design

requirements.

• Member states will assume an EuP bearing a CE mark conforms to any

implementing measure on that EuP.

• Self regulating measures are required for the following EuPs:

the EuP shall represent a significant volume of sales and trade, indicatively more than 200,000 units a year within the Community according to most recently available figures; the EuP shall, considering the quantities placed on the market and/or put into service, have a significant environmental impact within the Community, as specified in Community strategic priorities as set out in Decision No 1600/2002/EC; the EuP shall present significant potential for improvement in terms of its environmental impact without entailing excessive costs, taking into account in particular.
