Ecodesign and Energy Labelling legislation: In the European Union, energy-related products are regulated by the Ecodesign Framework Directive (2009/125/EC), which provides for setting minimum requirements for such products with the aim of ensuring their free movement within the internal market, and the Energy Labelling Framework Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 that enables consumers to make a better and more rational use of energy by informing them about the energy efficiency of products. An up-to-date overview of the rules and requirements for ecodesign and energy labelling can be accessed through the dedicated European Commission webpage - here.
