4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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.

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

9. 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

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

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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

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

16. 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
