The ErP (Energy related Products) Directive came into effect on the 26th September 2015 as part of the EU\u2019s commitment to reducing carbon emissions. The new labelling systems aim is to make it easier for customers to choose the most energy efficient products, saving money and reducing environmental impact. The initiative directly affects both manufacturers and installers, so we have outlined everything you need to know.<\/p>\n
The directive is split into two parts, Ecodesign and Energy Labelling;<\/p>\n
Ensures that products meet certain energy performance criteria. Manufacturers are only allowed to sell products that comply with these guidelines, meaning many low-rated products are longer permitted. Gas boilers have seen major change sunder ERP, with Baxi<\/a> stating that \u2018ErP will effectively, over time, eliminate all non-condensing boilers up to 400kW from the market.\u2019 There is a detailed set of criteria<\/a> dictating which products are to be included on the information pages from GOV.UK.<\/p>\n Clearer energy labelling will ensure that energy using products like space and water heaters are correctly labelled. They will need to carry the same type of energy labels as other electrical goods, with a classification ranging from A+++ to G (with G being the lowest band).<\/p>\nEnergy Labelling<\/h2>\n
