Energy Labelling Directive Initial proposal EC (2015) Revised proposals from Council and EP Conciliation Closed on 21 March Final approval in the coming months Main issue regarding space and water heaters : deadlines for rescaling existing labels A-G scale Product database

Update on Energy Labelling Directive Rescaling  Fixed deadlines are established for the first rescaling of all labelled products, according to three product categories: 6 years as general deadline, combined with 18 additional months aiming for the appearance of the label in shops; 15 months for the "white" products (dishwashers, fridges, washing machines), combined with 12 additional months aiming for the appearance of the label in shops and 9 years for heaters and boilers with a sunset clause of 13 years. Once all A+ labels have disappeared from the market, further rescaling will be triggered by a surplus in the top classes, namely 30 % in class A or 50% in class A+B. At the time of rescaling the top two classes are to be left empty, aiming for a ten-year validity period of the label.

Update on Energy Labelling Directive Database  Set up from January 2019 Enabling market surveillance authorities of member states to enforce labelling requirements Ensure efficiency calculations behind the label correspond to those declared by manufacturers Focus on user friendliness and practical purposes. The compliance part of the database is delineated in order to safeguard the confidentiality and security of sensitive commercial data of manufacturers.

Regulations Commission Delegated Regulation (delegated act): Proposed by EC Can be vetoed by EP or Council Consultation with MS and stakeholders

2018 Review will not be closed by Sep. 2018 26 Sept 2018 End of review process Review will not be closed by Sep. 2018 Potentially 3-4 years process

Relevant topics Conversion coefficient value Third party certification Appropriateness of the package fiches and labels

Conversion coefficient value Primary Energy Factor (PEF), applied in: Energy Efficiency Directive Energy Performance of Buildings Directive Though Member States can define their own values PEF = CC in Lot 1 & Lot 2 Currently: 2.5 Proposal: 2.0 Open question: How will the new PEF value be applied in the Lot1 & Lot 2 review? With or without update on the thresholds

Third party certification Issues: Poor market surveillance Water and space heaters Need to ensure fair competition Industry proposing mechanisms to ensure fairness in the market Additional procedures/requirements New certification requirements could imply additional costs/burden to manufacturers Clarify if existing certification (ex: Solar Keymark) would be compatible

Package fiches and labels ? Package fiches and labels What can be covered under “appropriateness” Procedures Calculation Components Information supplied Availability of information Implementation in the market Market surveillance procedures Withdrawal of the package label

Implementing Guidelines Ongoing update: Integrate topics related to solid fuels Drafting (March) Distribution to MS for comments Consultation with stakeholders Final review and publication

Implementing guidelines Potential proposals for changes Aperture and gross area: include clarification Refer to ISO colelctor test standard Clarification on tank’s testing: include indications of which kind of test should be applied for different type of tanks and the referring standard. Pump power consumption: use best performance Use real measured values (when better) rather than general factor (50%) Propose revised formulation on the FAQ no. 30 on termosiphon systems Proposal to return to basic interpretation: solar collector connected with storage tank using backup immersion heater (used to satisfy required confort levels when solar resource insuficient) to be considered as solar-only system Discussion on-going in thermosiphon task force -> to be enlarged to ESTESC energy labelling working group Interested?
