Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy‐related Products

Methodology Report Part 1: Methods

Methodology Report Part 2: Environmental policies & data

The present report has been prepared by COWI Belgium in association with Van Holsteijn en Kemna (VHK), as member of the COWI Consortium, under the Multiple Framework Contract for Technical Assistance Activities in the field of energy and transport policy (TREN/R1/350‐2008 lot 3), and in response to the Terms of Reference included in the Contract No. SI2.581529 "Technical assistance for an update of the Methodology for the Ecodesign of Energy‐using Products (MEEuP)".

Sustainable industrial policy aims in particular at developing a policy to foster environmental and energy efficient products in the internal market. The Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC is the cornerstone of this approach. It establishes a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy‐related products with the aim of ensuring the free movement of those products within the internal market. Directive 2009/125/EC repealed the original Directive 2005/32/EC for the
setting of ecodesign requirements for energy‐using products.

The Methodology for the Ecodesign of Energy‐using Products (MEEuP)1 was developed in 2005 to contribute to the creation of a methodology allowing evaluating whether and to which extent various energy‐using products fulfil certain criteria that make them eligible for implementing measures under the Ecodesign Directive 2005/32/EC.

Against this background the objective of the underlying study  is twofold:

1.) To review the effectiveness and update, whenever necessary, the Ecodesign Methodology after having been applied for 5 years in ecodesign studies and contributed to the evaluation of
implementing measures on energy‐using products.

2.) To extend the Ecodesign Methodology to Energy‐related Products to evaluate whether and to which extent new energy‐related products fulfil certain criteria for implementing measures under the Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC.
