After the inclusion of professional refrigeration products in the first ecodesign working plan, the feasibility of ecodesign requirements and the energy label for these products was assessed.
Supporting documents
Participants of a Member States expert meeting on 28-29 April 2014 voted on the draft ecodesign regulation for professional refrigeration products (professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, process chillers and condensing units) and discussed the draft energy labelling delegated regulation for professional refrigerated storage cabinets.
As a result, 2 measures have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 8 July 2015
The first ecodesign requirements and the first energy label came into force as of 1 July 2016. Please find here
Moreover, concerning condensing units, please find here an Excel tool to calculate the SEPR. Manufacturers only need to insert the cooling capacity and COP of the product at the 4 rating points A, B, C and D. The spreadsheet is aligned with the standard prEN13215:2015 and calculates the SEPR value automatically using linear interpolation between the 4 rating points (assuming constant capacity for temperatures above A and below D).

Following the inclusion of power transformers in the first ecodesign working plan, an ecodesign preparatory study was conducted between 2009 and 2011.
In May 2014, Regulation 548/2014 on ecodesign requirements for small, medium and large power transformers was adopted
References to the following 2 harmonised standards in support of Regulation 548/2014 can be found on our web page on European standards.

After the inclusion of ventilation units in the first ecodesign working plan, the feasibility of ecodesign requirements and the energy label for these products was assessed.
Supporting documents
Participants of an expert meeting on 16-17 December 2013 voted on the draft ecodesign regulation for ventilation units.
As a result, 2 measures have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 25 November 2014
The first ecodesign requirements and the first energy label came into force as of 1 January 2016. Following a dedicated technical assistance study, a guidance document and a Commission communication on relevant standards and transitional methods were published.

After the inclusion of enterprise servers, data storage and ancillary equipment in the ecodesign working plan 2012-14, the feasibility of ecodesign requirements for these products has been assessed in a dedicated preparatory study, which ended in November 2015. Moreover, a technical assistance study on standardisation gaps (mainly related to the area of energy efficiency/product performance), ended in August 2016.
Currently, potential policy options for these products are being analysed by the European Commission in a dedicated impact assessment. With the aim to gather experiences, views and opinions of stakeholders and of the public, various consultations are taking/already took place
A synopsis report summarises the results of the abovementioned consultations. Please do regularly consult this page for further updates.
