M/594 - EcoWash
Commission Implementing Decision of 2.6.2023 on a standardisation request to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation as regards ecodesign and energy labelling requirements for household washing machines and household washer-dryers in support of Regulation (EU) 2019/2023 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2014
The Commission Implementing Decision of 2.6.2023 mandates the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (CENELEC) to develop standards supporting ecodesign and energy labelling requirements for household washing machines and washer-dryers. This standardisation request aligns with Regulation (EU) 2019/2023 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2014, aiming to enhance energy efficiency and environmental performance. The mandate focuses on creating harmonised standards to facilitate compliance, improve market surveillance, and support consumer information through energy labelling schemes for these household appliances.
Purpose
The mandate aims to support the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2019/2023 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2014 by requesting standardisation activities related to ecodesign and energy labelling of household washing machines and washer-dryers. This contributes to improving the environmental performance and energy efficiency of these household appliances.
Standardisation request
The European Commission requests the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (CENELEC) to develop European standards concerning ecodesign and energy labelling requirements that align with the relevant EU regulations. The focus is on household washing machines and household washer-dryers.
Expected deliverables
Deliverables are expected to include harmonised standards that provide detailed technical specifications and methods for measuring energy consumption, water usage, and other environmental parameters. These standards will underpin the enforcement and application of Regulation (EU) 2019/2023 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2014.
Context
This mandate reflects the EU’s ongoing efforts to enhance the sustainability and energy efficiency of household appliances. The regulations mentioned establish the legal framework for setting minimum ecodesign requirements and energy labelling rules, thereby reducing the environmental footprint of washing machines and washer-dryers placed on the EU market. The standardisation process facilitates uniform compliance and market surveillance across Member States.
This mandate covers the development of standards related to ecodesign and energy labelling requirements specifically for household washing machines and household washer-dryers.
