Directive on ecodesign of Energy-using Products (EuP)

The Directive 2005/32/EC on the ecodesign of Energy-using Products (EuP), such as electrical and electronic devices or heating equipment, provides coherent EU-wide rules for ecodesign. The Directive does not introduce directly binding requirements for specific products, but does define conditions and criteria for setting, through subsequent implementing measures, requirements regarding environmentally relevant product characteristics (such as energy consumption).
