COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 811/2013

of 18 February 2013

supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the energy labelling of space heaters, combination heaters, packages of space heater, temperature control and solar device and packages of combination heater, temperature control and solar device

(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 have a significant potential for energy savings but exhibit a wide disparity in performance levels with equivalent functionality.

(2)

The energy consumed by space heaters and by combination heaters providing space and water heating, accounts for a significant share of the total energy demand in the Union. Space heaters and combination heaters with equivalent functionality exhibit a wide disparity in terms of energy efficiency. The scope for reducing their energy consumption is significant and includes combining them with appropriate temperature controls and solar devices. Space heaters, combination heaters and packages of such heaters in combination with temperature controls and solar devices should therefore be covered by energy labelling requirements.

(3)

Space heaters and combination heaters that are designed for using gaseous or liquid fuels predominantly (more than 50 %) produced from biomass have specific technical characteristics which require further technical, economic and environmental analyses. Depending on the outcome of the analyses, energy labelling requirements for those heaters should be set at a later stage, if appropriate.

(4)

Harmonised provisions should be laid down on labelling and standard product information regarding the energy efficiency of space heaters and combination heaters in order to provide incentives for manufacturers to improve the energy efficiency of these heaters, to encourage end-users to purchase energy-efficient products and to contribute to the functioning of the internal market.

(5)

As regards significant energy and cost savings for each type of heater, this Regulation should introduce a new labelling scale from A++ to G for the space heating function of boiler space heaters, cogeneration space heaters, heat pump space heaters, boiler combination heaters and heat pump combination heaters. While classes A to G cover the various types of conventional boilers when not combined with cogeneration or renewable energy technologies, classes A+ and A++ should promote the use of cogeneration and renewable energy sources.

(6)

Furthermore, a new A-G labelling scale should be introduced for the water heating function of boiler combination heaters and heat pump combination heaters, in line with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 812/2013 of 18 February 2013 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the energy labelling of water heaters, hot water storage tanks and packages of water heater and solar device (2).

(7)

Further classes A+++ and A+ should be added after four years to the seasonal space heating and water heating classes, respectively, unless the review of the Regulation proves otherwise, to accelerate the market penetration of high-efficiency space heaters and combination heaters using renewable energy sources.

(8)

This Regulation should ensure that consumers get more accurate comparative information about the performance of heat pump heaters, based on a seasonal efficiency calculation and measurement method for three European climate zones. The Commission mandated the European standardisation bodies to investigate whether a similar method should be developed for other heaters. European standardised heating seasons for boiler heaters, cogeneration heaters and solar heaters could be considered in the review of this Regulation.

(9)	The sound power level of a heater can be an important consideration for end-users. Information on sound power levels should be included on the labels of space heaters and combination heaters.

(10)

The combined effect of this Regulation and Commission Regulation (EU) No 813/2013 of 2 August 2013 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for space heaters and combination heaters (3) is expected to result in estimated annual energy savings of around 1 900 PJ (about 45 Mtoe) by 2020, corresponding to about 110 Mt CO2 emissions, compared to what would happen if no measures were taken.

(11)

The information provided on the label should be obtained through reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement and calculation procedures that take into account recognised state-of-the-art measurement and calculation methods including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation bodies under a request from the Commission, in accordance with the procedures laid down in the Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society services (4), for the purpose of establishing ecodesign requirements.

(12)	This Regulation should specify a uniform design and content of product labels for space heaters and combination heaters.

(13)	In addition, this Regulation should specify requirements for the product fiche and technical documentation for space heaters and combination heaters.

(14)	Moreover, this Regulation should specify requirements for the information to be provided for any form of distance selling of space heaters and combination heaters and in any advertisements and technical promotional material for such heaters.

(15)

In addition to the product labels and fiches for stand-alone space heaters and combination heaters laid down in this Regulation, package labels and fiches based on product fiches from suppliers should ensure that the end-user has easy access to information on the energy performance of packages of heaters combined with solar devices and/or temperature controls. The most efficient class A+++ may be reached by such a package.

(16)	It is appropriate to provide for a review of the provisions of this Regulation taking into account technological progress,

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 812/2013

of 18 February 2013

supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the energy labelling of water heaters, hot water storage tanks and packages of water heater and solar device

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Whereas:

(1)	Directive 2010/30/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the labelling of energy-related products that have a significant potential for energy savings but exhibit a wide disparity in performance levels with equivalent functionality.

(2)

The energy consumed by water heaters and hot water storage tanks accounts for a significant share of the total energy demand in the Union, and water heaters and hot water storage tanks with equivalent functionality exhibit a wide disparity in terms of water heating energy efficiency and standing loss. The scope for reducing their energy consumption is significant and includes combining water heaters with appropriate solar devices. Water heaters, hot water storage tanks and packages of water heaters and solar devices should therefore be covered by energy labelling requirements.

(3)

Water heaters that are designed for using gaseous or liquid fuels predominantly (more than 50 %) produced from biomass have specific technical characteristics which require further technical, economic and environmental analyses. Depending on the outcome of the analyses, energy labelling requirements for those water heaters should be set at a later stage, if appropriate.

(4)

Harmonised provisions should be laid down on labelling and standard product information regarding the energy efficiency of water heaters and hot water storage tanks in order to provide incentives for manufacturers to improve the energy efficiency of these products, to encourage end-users to purchase energy-efficient products and to contribute to the functioning of the internal market.

(5)

As regards significant energy and cost savings for each type of water heater and for hot water storage tanks, this Regulation should introduce a new single labelling scale from A to G for conventional water heaters, solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters and for hot water storage tanks. A dynamic class A+ should be added to the classification after two years to accelerate the market penetration of the most efficient water heaters and hot water storage tanks.

(6)	This Regulation should ensure that consumers get more accurate comparative information about the performance of solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters in three European climate zones.

(7)	The sound power level of a water heater could be an important consideration for end-users. Information on sound power levels should be included on the labels of water heaters.

(8)

The combined effect of this Regulation and Commission Regulation (EU) No 814/2013 of 2 August 2013 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for water heaters and hot water storage tanks (2) is expected to result in estimated annual energy savings of around 450 PJ (11 Mtoe) by 2020, corresponding to about 26 Mt CO2 emissions, compared to what would happen if no measures were taken.

(9)

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 813/2013

of 2 August 2013

implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for space heaters and combination heaters

(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 Ecodesign Consultation Forum,

Whereas:

(1)

Under Directive 2009/125/EC ecodesign requirements should be set by the Commission for energy-related products representing significant volumes of sales and trade, having a significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement through design in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs.

(2)	Provisions on the efficiency of boilers were established by Council Directive 92/42/EEC of 21 May 1992 on efficiency requirements for new hot-water boilers fired with liquid or gaseous fuels (2).

(3)

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 Ecodesign Consultation Forum, the Commission should, as appropriate, introduce implementing measures for products offering a high potential for cost-effective reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, such as for heating and water heating equipment.

(4)

The Commission has carried out a preparatory study on the technical, environmental and economic aspects of space heaters and combination (space and water) heaters typically used in the Union. The study was devised together with stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available.

(5)

The environmental aspects of space heaters and combination heaters that have been identified as significant for the purposes of this Regulation are energy consumption in the use phase and (for heat pump heaters) sound power levels. In addition, for heaters using fossil fuels, emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter and hydrocarbons are identified as significant environmental aspects.

(6)

It is not appropriate to set ecodesign requirements for emissions of carbon monoxide, particulate matter and hydrocarbons as no suitable European measurement methods are as yet available. With a view to developing such measurement methods, the Commission mandated the European standardisation organisations to consider ecodesign requirements for those emissions during the review of this Regulation. National provisions for ecodesign requirements on emissions of carbon monoxides, particulate matter and hydrocarbons of space heaters and combination heaters may be maintained or introduced until the corresponding Union ecodesign requirements enter into force. The provisions of Directive 2009/142/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 relating to appliances burning gaseous fuels (3), which limit the combustion products of appliances burning gaseous fuels in relation to health and safety, are not affected.

(7)

The preparatory study shows that requirements regarding the other ecodesign parameters referred to in Annex I, Part 1 to Directive 2009/125/EC are not necessary in the case of space heaters and combination heaters. In particular, greenhouse gas emissions related to refrigerants used in heat pump heaters for heating today’s European building stock are not identified as significant. The appropriateness of setting ecodesign requirements for these greenhouse gas emissions will be reassessed when reviewing this Regulation.

(8)

The scope of this Regulation should include boiler space heaters, cogeneration space heaters and heat pump space heaters providing heat to water-based central heating systems for space heating purposes, and boiler combination heaters and heat pump combination heaters providing heat to water-based central heating systems for space heating purposes and heat to deliver hot drinking and sanitary water. These heaters are designed to use gaseous or liquid fuels, including from biomass (unless predominantly), electricity and ambient or waste heat.

(9)

Heaters that are designed for using gaseous or liquid fuels predominantly (more than 50 %) produced from biomass have specific technical characteristics which require further technical, economic and environmental analyses. Depending on the outcome of the analyses, ecodesign requirements for those heaters should be set at a later stage, if appropriate.

(10)

Annual energy consumption related to space heaters and combination heaters was estimated to have been 12 089 PJ (about 289 Mtoe) in the Union in 2005, corresponding to 698 Mt CO2 emissions. Unless specific measures are taken, annual energy consumption is expected to be 10 688 PJ in 2020. Annual emissions of nitrogen oxides related to space heaters and combination heaters were estimated to have been 821 kt SOx equivalent in the Union in 2005. Unless specific measures are taken, annual emissions are expected to be 783 kt SOx equivalent in 2020. The preparatory study shows that the use-phase energy consumption and emissions of nitrogen oxides of space heaters and combination heaters can be significantly reduced.

(11)	The energy consumption of space heaters and combination heaters can be reduced by applying existing cost-effective non-proprietary technologies which lead to a reduction in the combined costs of purchasing and operating these products.

(12)

In the Union there are almost five million dwellings with shared open-flue systems. For technical reasons it is not possible to replace existing boiler space heaters and boiler combination heaters by efficient condensing boilers in dwellings with a shared open-flue system. The requirements contained in this Regulation allow non-condensing boilers specifically designed for such a configuration to remain on the market; this is to prevent undue costs for consumers, to give manufacturers time to develop boilers dedicated to more efficient heating technologies, and to give Member States time to reflect on national building codes.

(13)

The combined effect of the ecodesign requirements set out in this Regulation and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 811/2013 of 18 February 2013 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of space heaters, combination heaters, packages of space heater, temperature control and solar device and packages of combination heater, temperature control and solar device (4) is expected to result by 2020 in estimated annual energy savings of about 1 900 PJ (about 45 Mtoe), corresponding to around 110 Mt CO2 emissions, and a reduction in annual nitrogen oxides emissions of some 270 kt SOx equivalent, compared to what would happen if no measures were taken.

(14)

Ecodesign requirements should harmonise energy consumption, sound power level and nitrogen oxides emission requirements for space heaters and combination heaters throughout the Union, thus helping to make the internal market operate better and to improve the environmental performance of these products.

(15)	The ecodesign requirements should not affect the functionality or affordability of space heaters or combination heaters from the end-user’s perspective and should not negatively affect health, safety or the environment.

(16)

The ecodesign requirements should be introduced gradually to give manufacturers a sufficient timeframe to redesign their products subject to this Regulation. The timing should be such that cost impact for manufacturers, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises, is taken into account, while ensuring timely achievement of the objectives of this Regulation.

(17)

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 under a request from the Commission, in accordance with the procedures laid down in the Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation (5).

(18)	In accordance with Article 8(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, this Regulation specifies which conformity assessment procedures apply.

(19)	To facilitate compliance checks, manufacturers should provide information in the technical documentation referred to in Annexes IV and V to Directive 2009/125/EC insofar as that information relates to the requirements laid down in this Regulation.

(20)	To further limit the environmental impact of space heaters and combination heaters, manufacturers should provide information on disassembly, recycling and/or disposal.

(21)

In addition to the legally binding requirements laid down in this Regulation, indicative benchmarks for best available technologies should be identified to ensure that information on the life-cycle environmental performance of space heaters and combination heaters is widely available and easily accessible.

(22)

Directive 92/42/EEC should be repealed, except for Articles 7(2) and 8 thereof and Annexes III to V thereto, and new provisions should be laid down by this Regulation to ensure that the scope is extended to heaters other than boilers, to further improve the energy efficiency of space heaters and combination heaters, and to improve other significant environmental aspects of space heaters and combination heaters.

(23)	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,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 814/2013

of 2 August 2013

implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for water heaters and hot water storage tanks

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

After consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum,

Whereas:

(1)

(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 Ecodesign Consultation Forum, the Commission should, as appropriate, introduce implementing measures for products offering a high potential for cost-effective reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, such as for water heating equipment.

(3)

The Commission has carried out a preparatory study on the technical, environmental and economic aspects of water heaters and hot water storage tanks typically used in the domestic and commercial sector. The study was devised together with stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available.

(4)

The environmental aspects of water heaters that have been identified as significant for the purposes of this Regulation are energy consumption in the use phase and (for heat pump water heaters) sound power levels. In addition, for water heaters using fossil fuels, emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are also identified as significant environmental aspects. The significant environmental aspect of hot water storage tanks is energy consumption due to their standing losses.

(5)

It is not appropriate to set ecodesign requirements for emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons as no suitable European measurement methods are as yet available. With a view to developing such measurement methods, the Commission mandated the European standardisation organisations to consider ecodesign requirements for those emissions during the review of this Regulation. National provisions for ecodesign requirements on emissions of carbon monoxides and hydrocarbons of water heaters may be maintained until the corresponding Union ecodesign requirements enter into force. The provisions of Directive 2009/142/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 relating to appliances burning gaseous fuels (2), which limit the combustion products of appliances burning gaseous fuels in relation to health and safety, are not affected.

(6)

The preparatory study shows that requirements regarding the other ecodesign parameters referred to in Annex I, Part 1 to Directive 2009/125/EC are not necessary in the case of water heaters and hot water storage tanks. In particular, greenhouse gas emissions related to refrigerants used in heat pump water heaters for heating today’s European building stock are not identified as significant. The appropriateness of setting ecodesign requirements for these greenhouse gas emissions will be reassessed when reviewing this Regulation.

(7)	The scope of this Regulation should be limited to water heaters which are dedicated to providing hot drinking and sanitary water.

(8)

Water heaters that are designed for using gaseous or liquid fuels predominantly (more than 50 %) produced from biomass have specific technical characteristics which require further technical, economic and environmental analyses. Depending on the outcome of the analyses, ecodesign requirements for those water heaters should be set at a later stage, if appropriate.

(9)

Annual energy consumption related to water heaters and hot water storage tanks was estimated to have been 2 156 PJ (51 Mtoe) in the Union in 2005, corresponding to 124 Mt CO2 emissions. Unless specific measures are taken, annual energy consumption is expected to be 2 243 PJ in 2020. Annual emissions of nitrogen oxides related to water heaters and hot water storage tanks were estimated to have been 559 kt SOx equivalent in the Union in 2005. Unless specific measures are taken, annual emissions are expected to be 603 kt SOx equivalent in 2020. The preparatory study shows that the use-phase energy consumption and the nitrogen oxides emissions of water heaters can be significantly reduced.

(10)	The energy consumption of water heaters and hot water storage tanks can be reduced by applying existing cost-effective non-proprietary technologies which lead to a reduction in the combined costs of purchasing and operating these products.

(11)

The combined effect of the ecodesign requirements set out in this Regulation and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 812/2013 of 18 February 2013 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of water heaters, hot water storage tanks and packages of water heater and solar device (3) is expected to result by 2020 in estimated annual energy savings of about 450 PJ (11 Mtoe), corresponding to around 26 Mt CO2 emissions, and a reduction in annual nitrogen oxides emissions of some 130 kt SOx equivalent, compared to what would happen if no measures were taken.

(12)

Ecodesign requirements should harmonise energy consumption, sound power level and nitrogen oxides emission requirements for water heaters, and requirements for standing losses of hot water storage tanks throughout the Union, thus helping to make the internal market operate better and to improve the environmental performance of these products.

(13)	The ecodesign requirements should not affect the functionality or affordability of water heaters or hot water storage tanks from the end-user’s perspective and should not negatively affect health, safety or the environment.

(14)

(15)

(16)	In accordance with Article 8(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, this Regulation specifies which conformity assessment procedures apply.

(17)	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 that information relates to the requirements laid down in this Regulation.

(18)	To further limit the environmental impact of water heaters and hot water storage tanks, manufacturers should provide information on disassembly, recycling and/or disposal.

(19)

In addition to the legally binding requirements laid down in this Regulation, indicative benchmarks for best available technologies should be identified to ensure that information on the life-cycle environmental performance of water heaters and hot water storage tanks is widely available and easily accessible.

(20)	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,
