EEPLIANT4 Work Package 8: Air heating and cooling products

Air heating Cooling appliances 1

Scope of action

This Work Package covers air heating and cooling products. The MSAs will undergo compliance verifications checks against the Regulation (EU) 2016/2281 with regard to ecodesign requirements for air heating products, cooling products, high temperature process chillers and fan coil units.

Objectives

  • Surveying the state of compliance in the internal market for air heating and cooling products;
  • Identifying and dealing with non-compliant products, ensuring that products are brought into conformity or withdrawn from the market;
  • Reducing the electricity bills of consumers, thereby improving the wellbeing of European consumers/end-users;
  • Reducing unfair competition resulting from the presence of non-compliant products on the market;
  • Raising awareness among economic operators (as defined in Regulation (EU) 2019/1020) and other concerned stakeholders about the problems identified;
  • Raising the profile of EU market surveillance in general.

Participants

10 Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) and 1 other governmental organisation are part of this Work Package. They are from 11 Countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and Turkey (as associated partner).

EEPLIANT4 Work Package 9: Solid Fuel Local Space Heaters

Solid fuel space heaters

Scope of action

This Work Package covers solid fuel local space heaters. The MSAs will undergo compliance verifications checks against the following legislation:

  • Regulation (EU) 2015/1186 with regard to the energy labelling of local space heaters;
  • Regulation (EU) 2015/1185 with regard to ecodesign requirements for solid fuel local space heaters.

Objectives

  • Surveying the state of compliance in the internal market solid fuel local space heaters;
  • Identifying and dealing with non-compliant products, ensuring that products are brought into conformity or withdrawn from the market;
  • Reducing the electricity bills of consumers, thereby improving the wellbeing of European consumers/end-users;
  • Reducing unfair competition resulting from the presence of non-compliant products on the market;
  • Raising awareness among economic operators (as defined in Regulation (EU) 2019/1020) and other concerned stakeholders about the problems identified;
  • Raising the profile of EU market surveillance in general.

Participants

8 Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) are part of this Work Package. They are from 7 Countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, and The Netherlands.

JAHARP2020 Work Package 1 – Gas Fired Space Heaters


Work Package Coordinator: PROSAFE, BE
Work Package Leader: TUKES, FI

SCOPE

The final scope of this project is to ensure that non-compliant and dangerous products remain outside the Single Market through product compliance checking, risk analysis and enforcement activities (including guidance and awareness raising). Moreover, the project will support the application of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 with the development of common approaches and good practices for market surveillance, consultations and synergies with relevant stakeholders (including ADCO groups, non-EU national authorities). Finally, it will increase the skills and knowledge of EU MSAs via cross-sectoral capacity-building, the development of replicable common tools/toolkits and the use of knowledge exchange digital systems.

OBJECTIVE

The main objectives of the work package are summarised as follows:
▪ Identification of non-compliant space heaters and appropriate actions to bring them into conformity or remove them from the market;
▪ Identification and development of best market surveillance practices for future actions;
▪ Durable improvement of the general level of compliance and safety of space heaters;
▪ Increased profile for market surveillance of space heaters in general;
▪ Appropriate responses from Standardisation Organisations and Notified Bodies to issues identified during the work.

PARTICIPANTS

16 Market Surveillance Authorities from the following 15 Countries: Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Slovakia.

EEPLIANT3 - Work Package 12 - Local Space Heaters

local space heater v2

Work Package Leader: Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority, Malta
Work Package Coordinator: PROSAFE

Scope and Objectives

The Work Packages carries out document inspection, screen testing and full scale testing of Local Space Heater covered by the recent eco-design and energy labelling regulations regarding Local Space Heaters. Individual models will be selected for verification on a high risk basis, and with the aim to cover the relevant market share in individual countries and across the EU.
The specific actions could, for eco-design, include domestic local space heaters with a nominal heat output of 50 kW or less and commercial local space heaters with a nominal heat output of the product or of a single segment of 120 kW or less.

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.

52 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 will be based on the EU regulation for Local space heaters (EU)2015/1188 on eco-design, (EU)2015/1186 on energy labelling and the EU regulation for labelling of energy-related products on the internet (EU)518/2014.

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;
