Where the regulation applies

The regulation covers listed categories of energy-using products and their relevant annex requirements. Entry into force has been postponed to 1 September 2028, with individual requirement dates requiring further checks.

What the regulation covers

The text specifies category-dependent energy consumption, efficiency and operating-mode parameters. Test data, technical information and the energy label must be consistent.

Examples of products and facilities

  • household refrigerators
  • washing machines
  • dishwashers
  • televisions
  • electric motors
  • external power supplies

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.

Documentation we help prepare

PLANCK identifies the applicable annex, reviews specifications and measurements, and prepares a missing-data list and a plan for the forthcoming requirements.

Before selecting a route, we check the current text, effective date, transitional provisions and exclusions. Listing a regulation does not mean it already applies to every product in that category.

What to prepare

  • Technical description and intended use
  • The key parameters listed above
  • Models, manufacturer and applicant details
  • Existing conformity evidence

What you receive

A requirements matrix for your product: scope, assessment route, necessary evidence and next actions.

Sources & regulatory basis

Effective from 1 September 2028. Before assessment, we check the device category, relevant annexes and the dates applicable to individual requirements. The formats and presentation rules for energy-efficiency labels are scheduled to apply from 1 March 2028.
