ECOS has long advocated for test methodologies to better reflect real-life use of products and address circumvention attempts. Following relevant provisions in the Energy Labelling Framework Regulation and in product-specific regulations, improvements are expected in this area. Our goal is to ensure standards are consumer-relevant and appropriate to support the Ecodesign framework.
ECOS submitted a favourable opinion on the final draft standard for "Electric dishwashers for household use - Methods for measuring the performance (FprEN 60436)".
The draft European standard prEN 45554 provides a general methodology for the assessment of the ability to repair, reuse and upgrade energy-related products (ErP) within the scope of the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling framework.
