92/75/EEC - Indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by household appliances
Council Directive 92/75/EEC establishes a harmonized system for labeling and providing standard product information regarding energy and resource consumption of certain household appliances. The directive aims to enable consumers to make informed choices favoring energy-efficient appliances, thus promoting the rational use of energy and reducing environmental pollution. It applies to refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, water heaters, lighting sources, and air-conditioning appliances, among others. Suppliers are required to provide energy consumption labels and product information fiches, ensuring accuracy and conformity with harmonized standards. Dealers must display these labels visibly when appliances are presented for sale. The directive also mandates that in cases where appliances are offered remotely (e.g., by catalog or mail order), essential energy consumption information must be supplied beforehand. Member States must enforce compliance, prohibit misleading labels not conforming to this directive, and conduct educational campaigns on responsible energy use. The directive replaces Council Directive 79/530/EEC and works alongside other relevant legislation, such as noise emission labeling. Member States are required to transpose the directive into national law by January 1994.

This European Standard specifies a set of assumptions, requirements and validation tests for procedures used for the calculation of the annual energy needs for space heating and cooling of a room in a building where the calculations are done with a time step of one hour or less.
This European Standard does not impose any specific numerical technique for the calculation of the room heating or cooling need and the internal temperatures of a room.
The purpose of this European Standard is to validate calculation methods used to:
assess the energy performance of each room of a building;
provide energy data to be used as interface with system performance analysis (heating, cooling, ventilating, lighting, domestic hot water etc).
The validation procedure is used to check the energy need for space heating and cooling based on a transient sensible heat balance model, taking into account:
the external surface heat balance;
the conduction through the building envelope;
the thermal capacities of external and internal structures;
the internal surface heat balance;
the air heat balance;
the heat balance solution method.
All other aspects are given either by prescribed boundary conditions or by input data and are not part of the model validation. It is assumed, that for all these other matters e.g. embedded heating and cooling systems, prescriptive models have to be used according to existing European Standards.
The system performance analysis and moisture balance are not within the scope of this European Standard.

IEC 60312-1:2010(E) applicable for measurements of the performance of dry vacuum cleaners for household use in or under conditions similar to those in households. The purpose of this document is to specify essential performance characteristics of dry vacuum cleaners being of interest to the users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics. Due to influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of the operator, most of the described test methods will give more reliable results when applied for comparative testing of a number of appliances at the same time, in the same laboratory and by the same operator. This document is not intended for battery-operated vacuum cleaners. For safety requirements, reference is made to IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-2.

This European Standard is applicable to gas-fired appliances producing domestic hot water. It applies to both instantaneous and storage appliances; waters-heaters and combination boilers that have:
¾ heat input not exceeding 70 kW, and
¾ hot water storage capacity (if any) not exceeding 300 l.
In the case of combination boilers, with or without storage, domestic hot water production is integrated or coupled, the whole being marketed as a single unit.
This European Standard EN 13203 is formed in two parts, which cover two aspects of domestic hot water production.
EN 13203-1 sets out in qualitative and quantitative terms the performance in delivery of domestic hot water for a selected variety of uses. It also gives a system for presenting the information to the user. This first part complements EN 26, EN 89 and EN 625.
The present European Standard EN 13203-2 sets out a method for assessing the energy performance of the appliances. It defines a number of daily tapping cycles for each domestic hot water use, kitchen, shower, bath and a combination of these, together with corresponding test procedures, enabling the energy performances of different gas-fired appliances to be compared and matched to the needs of the user.

This European Standard establishes requirements for determining, in accordance with a standardized procedure, the sound power level emitted into the surrounding air by air conditioners, heat pumps, liquid chilling packages with electrically driven compressors when used for space heating and/or cooling, including water cooled multisplit systems, as described in EN 14511 and dehumidifiers as described in EN 810.
It is emphasized that this measurement standard only refers to airborne noise.
This European Standard offers ways to determine the sound power level of units. Some of them are specifically adapted to provide results with low uncertainties, by using laboratory class acoustic methods and highly controlled working conditions. Those measurements are suitable for certification, labelling and marking purposes.
In some cases, the target and/or the environment of the measurements do not allow such precision-class methods. This European Standard also offers ways to assess sound power levels with acceptable accuracy even though acoustic methods and/or working conditions are not laboratory-type, e.g. in situ or quality control measurements.
This European Standard gives two classes of measurements and results, according to the test environment:
- Class A measurements correspond to controlled working conditions (standard or application rating conditions). It is defined by the respect to the tolerances of Table 2.
- Class B measurements correspond to the case where the range defined by the tolerances of Table 2 cannot be fulfilled.
In both classes, precision or engineering class acoustic methods should be applied. The choice of the acoustic measurement method is done in accordance with EN ISO 3740 and EN ISO 9614 depending on the type of surrounding acoustic fields (diffuse or free field, enclosed or open space), and the available instrumentation. Whatever the current working conditions, the reference of acoustic standard shall be reported, with explicit mention

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 92/75/EEC covers "Indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by household appliances". There are 71 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 92/75/EEC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 92/75/EEC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
