EEPLIANT2 - Work Package 4 - Domestic Refrigerators

Scope of Action

The objective of the Work Package 4 (EEPLIANT2) intends to cartry out an action on coordinated monitoring, verification and enforcement of the product sector "Household Refrigerating Appliances" subject to COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 643/2009 (ecodesign), COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 1060/2010 (energy labelling), and, where applicable COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 518/2014 (labelling of energy related products on the internet).

In this regard, the work plan for this product activity includes document inspection, screen testing and full scale testing. Individual models selected for verification are being sampled depending on each Market Surveillance Authorities' strategy. Indeed, the selection may be based either on:

  • a high risk basis;
  • a market basis; or
  • the stakeholders acting in this product sector and present on the Market Surveillance Authorities' national territory.

These sampling criteria intend to have an overview of the market in the Member States part of this product activity and to facilitate any enforcement actions in the case of non-compliant models. Also, the producs are selected with the aim to cover the relevant market share in individual countries and across the EU. Results for individual models will be shared among the European surveillance authorities.

EEPLIANT3 - Work Package 10  - Ventilation Units

ventilation final

Work Package Leader: State Agency for Metrology and Verification Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany
Work Package Coordinator: vores bureau, Denmark

Scope and Objectives

This Work Package is dedicated to a market surveillance action for uni- and bidirectional residential Ventilation Units. The focus of this Work Package is on the products themselves and potentially on a “product in product” approach if the ventilation units chosen for market surveillance should be in a capacity range where the motors and fans integrated are covered by the eco-design regulations (EU)640/2009n respectively (EU)327/2011 in which case the products must comply to all the relevant regulations.

The central objectives of the Work Package are:

  • Assessment and use of screening methods to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of market surveillance actions;
  • Checking whether the product model has been registered in the EU energy labelling product registration database EPREL and if the necessary documents are uploaded;
  • Checking product compliance based on document inspection;
  • Checking product compliance based on product testing;
  • Checking compliance for online labelling (dealers' obligation);
  • Checking the presence of mandatory product information on manufacturers web page;
  • Feedback and recommendations from experiences with document inspection and product testing to support the further development of standards and legislation. Identification of circumvention issues;
  • Impact assessment for the action.

33 product models are expected to be tested, excluding the possible triple testing foreseen for about 20% of the samples.

EU Legislation – Energy Labels & Eco-design

The action is based on the EU regulation for ventilation units (EU)1253/2014 on eco-design, (EU)1254/2014 on energy labelling and (EU) No 518/2014 (labelling of energy-related products on the internet).
The Eco-design and energy labelling regulations regarding ventilation unit have not previously been covered by concerted actions regarding market surveillance. Tier 2 of regulation 1253/2014 came into force on January 1st, 2018 removing the (then) lower energy classes.

Work Plan

  • Setting the focus of the action;
  • Product screening to enhance the efficiency of the action;
  • Document inspection;
  • Inspection of online labels and product information stored in the EPREL database;
  • Product testing;
  • Enforcement measures;
  • Impact assessment;
  • Digest of issues from inspection and testing.


Participants

10 Market Surveillance Authorities and 2 other organisations from the following 8 countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Latvia, Portugal, Sweden and Turkey. Please note that Portugal withdrew from this Work Package as of 31.07.2021.
