Frequently Asked Questions About Ecodesign and Energy Labelling
If you have questions about Ecodesign and energy labelling, our FAQ provides a quick overview of key technical topics. You can find answers to additional questions on our page Accredited Heat Pump Testing for Certification and European Market Access, and you are always welcome to contact Preben Eskerod directly to discuss your specific testing requirements using the contact form on the right. Ecodesign (EU 813/2013) defines the non-negotiable minimum legal threshold required for CE marking and market access. Energy Labelling (EU 811/2013) is a comparative rating system that classifies compliant products to guide purchasers and public subsidy bodies. No. Both Ecodesign and Energy Labelling regulations mandate empirical data derived from physical testing in accordance with harmonised European standards (EN 14511, EN 14825, EN 12102-1). Verification tolerances are reserved strictly for surveillance authorities during compliance audits. Declared ratings must reflect the true calculated and measured performance without built-in tolerance margins.What is the legal relationship between Ecodesign and Energy Labelling?
