ErP Energy Efficiency Certification

What is the EU ErP certification?

ERP = Energy related products, that is, energy-related products, in its production, distribution, use of all aspects of the life cycle are related to many important environmental factors, such as other raw materials and natural resources (such as water) consumption, waste generation Environmental pollution resulting from the discharge of hazardous substances into the environment, and the associated climate change due to energy consumption.
The EU's ERP directive aims to establish a coherent legal framework to define the environmental design requirements for energy-efficient products in order to achieve the following objectives:
1, to ensure that energy-consuming products within the EU within the free flow;
2, to improve the overall environmental performance of these products, and accordingly protect the environment;
3, to ensure energy supply security and improve the competitiveness of the EU economy;
4, to maintain the interests of industry and consumers.
 
ErP certification mark
      
ErP certification and CE certification mark the relationship
ERP instructions are CE mark requirements, if the product into the European market belongs to the CE range, should carry the CE mark. In addition, some authoritative foreign certification bodies can provide ERP mark to do marketing.
 
Is ENERGY STAR approving ErP certification requirements?    
incompatible. Energy Star is a US certification mark and therefore can not be used as proof of compliance with EU directives. The only sign that can now be used as proof of conformity is the European ecolabel.

How to do ErP certification effectively?
The conformity assessment of the product is carried out in accordance with the internal design control procedures of Appendix 4 of the ERP 2005/32 / EC Act.
The simplest and effective method of conformity assessment is to refer to Annex IV of the EuP Act, namely:
1. Provide LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) Environmental Footprint Report for Products;
2. Provide the test report required in the implementation details of the eco-design;
3. Provide relevant information about the requirements;
The most effective way is the first - internal control
 
ErP certified factory inspection
No audits
 
ErP certification cycle
Regular for 2-3 weeks, can be expedited, urgent need to pay another fee.
