The regulation aims to limit the environmental impact of electrical and electronic equipment placed on the European Union (EU) market through a set of rules on energy efficiency.
It repeals Regulations (EC) Nos 1275/2008 and 107/2009.
It applies from 9 May 2025. However, Article 6(1) has applied since 8 May 2023.
Directive 2009/125/EC established a framework to set ecodesign requirements for energy-related products. The Commission must set these requirements for products which are widely sold and traded in the EU and have a significant environmental impact.
