COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 65/2014

of 1 October 2013

supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the energy labelling of domestic ovens and range hoods

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy-related products (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive 2010/30/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the labelling of energy-related products that offer significant potential for energy savings and present a wide disparity in performance levels with equivalent functionality.

(2)

The energy used by electric ovens accounts for a significant part of total energy demand in the Union. In addition to the energy efficiency improvements already achieved, the scope for further reducing the energy consumption of these appliances is substantial.

(3)

Provisions for the energy labelling of household electric ovens were established by Commission Directive 2002/40/EC of 8 May 2002 implementing Council Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household electric ovens (2).

(4)

Technological development in the field of domestic cooking appliances has been rapid in recent years. The ecodesign preparatory studies showed that domestic gas ovens and range hoods show significant potential for energy savings. In order to ensure that the energy labels provide dynamic incentives for suppliers to further improve the energy efficiency of these appliances and to accelerate market transformation towards energy-efficient technologies, Directive 2002/40/EC should be repealed and new provisions should be laid down.

(5)

The provisions of this Regulation should apply to domestic electric and gas ovens, including when incorporated into cookers, and to domestic electric range hoods.

(6)

This Regulation should introduce a revised energy efficiency scale from A+++ to D for all ovens concerned and a new energy efficiency scale from A to G with a ‘+’ added on at the top of the scale every two years until the A+++ class has been reached for domestic range hoods, these further classes should be added to accelerate the market penetration of high-efficiency appliances.

(7)

The combined effect of the provisions set out in this Regulation, and in Commission Regulation (EU) No 66/2014 (3) on the ecodesign requirements for domestic ovens, hobs and range hoods is expected to result in annual primary energy savings of 27 PJ/a in 2020, increasing up to 60 PJ/a by 2030.

(8)

The sound power level of a domestic range hood can be an important consideration for end-users. Information on sound power levels should be included on the labels of domestic range hoods, to enable end-users to make an informed decision.

(9)

The information provided on the respective labels should be obtained through reliable, accurate and reproducible calculation and measurement methods that take into account the recognised state-of-the-art calculation and measurement methods including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation organisations, as listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation (4).

(10)

This Regulation should specify a uniform design and content for the labelling of domestic ovens, including when incorporated into cookers, and domestic electric range hoods.

(11)

This Regulation should specify requirements as to the technical documentation and the fiche for domestic ovens, including when incorporated into cookers, and domestic electric range hoods, also when used for non-domestic purposes.

(12)

This Regulation should specify requirements as to the information to be provided for any form of distance selling, advertising and technical promotional material of domestic ovens (including when incorporated into cookers) and domestic electric range hoods, also when used for non-domestic purposes.

(13)

It is appropriate to provide for a review of the provisions of this Regulation taking into account technological progress, and in particular the effectiveness and the appropriateness of the approach followed for the determination of the domestic ovens energy efficiency classes,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 66/2014

of 14 January 2014

implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for domestic ovens, hobs and range hoods

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (1), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,

After consulting the Consultation Forum referred to in Article 18 of Directive 2009/125/EC,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive 2009/125/EC requires the Commission to set ecodesign requirements for energy-related products that account for significant volumes of sales and trade, have a significant environmental impact and present significant potential for improvement through design in terms of their environmental impact, without entailing excessive costs.

(2)

Article 16(2)(a) of Directive 2009/125/EC provides that in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 19(3) and the criteria set out in Article 15(2), and after consulting the Consultation Forum, the Commission has to, as appropriate, introduce implementing measures for products offering a high potential for cost-effective reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, such as domestic appliances, including ovens, hobs and range hoods.

(3)

The Commission has carried out preparatory studies to analyse the technical, environmental and economic aspects of domestic cooking appliances such as ovens, hobs and range hoods. These studies involved stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available.

(4)

The main environmental aspect of the products covered that has been identified as significant for the purposes of this Regulation is energy consumption in the use phase.

(5)

Standby and off-mode functions can be responsible for much of the total power consumption of domestic cooking appliances such as ovens, hobs and range hoods. For such appliances, power consumption of these functions is part of the minimum energy performance requirements. Standby and off-mode requirements for domestic ovens and hobs are set on the basis of the ecodesign requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 of 17 December 2008 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for standby and off mode, and networked standby, electric power consumption of electrical and electronic household and office equipment (2).

(6)

The annual energy consumption of domestic ovens, hobs and range hoods was estimated to be 755 PJ (primary energy consumption) in the EU in 2010. Unless specific measures are taken, annual energy consumption is predicted to be 779 PJ in 2020. The preparatory studies show that the energy consumption of those products can be significantly reduced.

(7)

In combination, the ecodesign requirements set out in this Regulation and the labelling requirements of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 65/2014 (3) are expected to result in annual primary energy savings of 27 PJ/a in 2020, increasing to 60 PJ/a by 2030.

(8)

The preparatory studies show that requirements regarding other ecodesign parameters referred to in Part 1, point 1.3, of Annex I to Directive 2009/125/EC are not necessary as electricity and gas consumption of domestic cooking appliances such as ovens, hobs and range hoods in the use phase is the most significant environmental aspect.

(9)

Products subject to this Regulation should be made more energy-efficient by applying existing non-proprietary cost-effective technologies that can reduce the combined costs of purchasing and operating these products.

(10)

The ecodesign requirements should not affect functionality from the end-user’s perspective and should not negatively affect health, safety or the environment. In particular, the benefits of reducing energy consumption during the use phase should more than offset any possible additional environmental impact during the production phase and at the time of disposal.

(11)

The ecodesign requirements should be introduced gradually in three tiers in order to provide a sufficient timeframe for manufacturers to redesign products subject to this Regulation. Such timeframe should avoid any negative impact on the functionality of equipment already on the market and should take into account costs incurred by end-users and manufacturers, in particular small- and medium-sized enterprises, while ensuring timely achievement of the objectives of this Regulation.

(12)

Product parameters should be measured and calculated using reliable, accurate and reproducible methods which take into account recognised state-of-the-art measurement and calculation methods, including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation organisations, as listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation (4).

(13)

In accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2009/125/EC, this Regulation specifies the applicable conformity assessment procedures.

(14)

In order to facilitate compliance checks, manufacturers should provide information in the technical documentation referred to in Annexes IV and V to Directive 2009/125/EC in so far as this information relates to the requirements laid down in this Regulation.

(15)

To ensure fair competition, and with a view to achieving the intended energy savings and accurately informing consumers on products’ energy performance, this Regulation should make clear that the tolerances prescribed for the national market surveillance authorities, when conducting physical tests to establish whether a specific model of an energy-related product is in compliance with this Regulation, should not be used by the manufacturers to provide room for declaring a more favourable performance of the model than measurements and calculations declared in the technical documentation of the product can justify.

(16)

In addition to the legally binding requirements laid down in this Regulation, indicative benchmarks for best-performing appliances available on the market should be identified to ensure wide availability and easy accessibility of information on the most relevant environmental aspects in the life-cycle environmental performance of products subject to this Regulation.

(17)

It is appropriate to provide for a review of the provisions of this Regulation taking into account technological progress, and in particular the effectiveness and the appropriateness of the approach followed for the determination of the ovens energy efficiency.

(18)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 19(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC,
