What is PD CLC/TR 50674 – Verification of household appliances under energy labelling and eco design about?
PD CLC/TR 50674 provides a technical report that guides for the verification testing of household and similar electrical appliances according to the Commission Regulations implementing Eco design Directive 2009/125/EC and Commission Delegated Regulations supplementing Energy Labelling Directive 2010/30/EU.
Note: This Technical Report might also be applicable to other types of energy related product and parts of it might also be applicable for the verification of product claims in schemes outside the European Union.
Who is PD CLC/TR 50674 - Verification of household appliances under energy labelling and eco design for?
PD CLC/TR 50674 on household appliances is useful for:
- Household appliance manufacturers
- Household appliance supplier
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use PD CLC/TR 50674 - Verification of household appliances under energy labelling and eco design?
The energy labels and eco design products provide a clear and simple indication of the energy efficiency and other key features of products at the point of purchase. This makes it easier for consumers to save money on their household energy bills and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across the EU. The European energy labelling scheme (and associated eco-design requirements) relies on performance declarations being made accurately by the suppliers of the labelled products. To ensure the integrity of the labelling scheme and to prevent abuse through overstated claims, it is a requirement of the regulations that the scheme is policed by the member states.
PD CLC/TR 50674 helps to produce technical report that describes how a typical verification project can be carried out and gives specific detail on the subjects of model selection, laboratory selection and carrying out the testing procedure in two steps. The objective of verification testing is to come to a clear and legally sound decision as to whether a product complies with the requirements given in a Regulation or if the declarations made by the supplier are incorrect. PD CLC/TR 50674 will ensure that the energy labels and eco design products are compliant to regulatory standards, efficient and reliable.
