The European Commission is consulting standardisation stakeholders on plans to develop a guidance document to support the implementation of the Standardisation Regulation.
Consumers are not informed of the poor performance of portable electric heaters, which can still be bought for very low prices (around 20€) and can effectively comply with the existing regulation with a simple mechanic thermostat control. The low purchase price is however offset by the related energy consumption which inflates the electricity bills - something consumers may not fully realise when making that purchase. Electric heaters should be included in the scope of the Energy Labelling Regulation!
ECOS is partner of the EU funded H2020 ANTICSS project which aims at assessing and defining circumvention in relation to EU Ecodesign and Energy Labelling legislation and harmonised standards.
Back in January 2018, the European Commission published its European Strategy on Plastics in a Circular Economy, aiming at rethinking the way plastic is produced, used and disposed of.
