Samantekt EUR-Lex

WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE DIRECTIVE?

Directive 2009/125/EC sets out a framework for the European Commission to lay down harmonised ecodesign¹ minimum requirements for energy-related products that are sold in the European Union (EU). It does not apply to means of transport used to carry people or goods.
It seeks to improve the energy efficiency² of products and the protection of the environment, thus contributing to sustainable development, and doing so in a harmonised way to support the EU single market and avoid market fragmentation and higher prices that could result from diverging national rules on the same aspects.

KEY POINTS

Ecodesign requirements may cover all stages of a product’s life cycle and the repair and recycling at end of life. The focus so far has been, in most cases, on in-use energy consumption because action in that area was prioritised. The most recent regulations, however, have a more holistic perspective, considering the entirety of the energy used during the product’s lifetime. For electronic products in particular, the manufacturing phase accounts for anywhere from one third to even two thirds of the energy used during the product’s lifetime, suggesting requirements to maximise the use of this embodied energy with requirements on reliability and reparability, to extend the product lifetime, and recyclability, to more efficiently recover materials.
Products that satisfy the requirements bear the CE marking and may be sold anywhere in the EU.

Implementing acts

By means of implementing acts adopted under the directive, the Commission has established ecodesign requirements for the placing on the market of the following goods:

household dishwashers (Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008);
fans driven by motors with an electric input power between 125 W and 500 kW (Regulation (EU) No 327/2011);
air conditioners and comfort fans (Regulation (EU) No 206/2012);
water pumps (Regulation (EU) No 547/2012);
glandless stand-alone circulators and glandless circulators integrated into products (Regulation (EU) No 622/2012);
household tumble dryers (Regulation (EU) 2023/2533);
computers and computer servers (Regulation (EU) No 617/2013);
vacuum cleaners (Regulation (EU) No 666/2013);
standby, off-mode electric power consumption of electrical and electronic household and office equipment (Regulation (EU) No 801/2013);
space heaters and combination heaters (Regulation (EU) No 813/2013);
water heaters and hot water storage tanks (Regulation (EU) No 814/2013);
domestic ovens, hobs and range hoods (Regulation (EU) No 66/2014);
small, medium and large power transformers (Regulation (EU) No 548/2014);
ventilation units (Regulation (EU) No 1253/2014);
professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers (Regulation (EU) 2015/1095);
solid fuel local space heaters (Regulation (EU) 2015/1185);
local space heaters (Regulation (EU) 2015/1188);
solid fuel boilers (Regulation (EU) 2015/1189);
energy-related products, air heating products, cooling products, high-temperature process chillers and fan coil units (Regulation (EU) 2016/2281);
servers and data storage products (Regulation (EU) 2019/424);
electric motors and variable speed drives (Regulation (EU) 2019/1781);
external power supplies (Regulation (EU) 2019/1782);
small, medium and large power transformers (Regulation (EU) 2019/1783);
welding equipment (Regulation (EU) 2019/1784);
household refrigerators (Regulation (EU) 2019/2019);
light sources and separate control gear (Regulation (EU) 2019/2020);
refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function (Regulation (EU) 2019/2024);
electronic displays (Regulation (EU) 2019/2021).

Regulation (EU) 2023/826, which repeals Regulations (EC) Nos 1275/2008 and 107/2009, lays down ecodesign requirements for off mode, standby mode and networked standby energy consumption of electrical and electronic household and office equipment, and will apply from 9 May 2025.

Repeal

Directive 2009/125/EC was repealed by Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (see summary) as of 18 July 2024. However, some rules of the directive will remain in force to allow for the adoption of measures that were being developed under it (until 2026) or to amend those already in force (until 2030). Furthermore, implementing acts adopted under the directive will remain in force until they are repealed.

FROM WHEN DO THE RULES APPLY?

The directive had to be transposed into national law by 20 November 2010. The regulations setting ecodesign requirements for specific product groups are binding in all Member States and create obligations from the application date(s) set in the individual regulations.

BACKGROUND

For further information, see:

Energy efficient products (European Commission)
Ecodesign for sustainable products regulation (European Commission).

KEY TERMS

Ecodesign. The integration of environmental aspects into product design with the aim of improving the environmental performance of the product throughout its whole life cycle.
Energy efficiency. Using less energy to provide the same service. Examples in terms of products are energy-efficient fridges and washing machines.
