إجراء مقترح من الاتحاد الأوروبي: مواد التعبئة والتغليف

Expanding the scope of the Regulation to include space heater with rated heat output larger than 400 kW and up to 1 MW. Inclusion of new product definitions and test and calculation methods for new products including hybrid heat pumps and thermally driven heat pumps. Including information requirements for some part of heating systems such as solar devices, temperature controls and shower water heat recovery devices. Differentiating space heating energy efficiency requirements for fossil boilers and more efficient alternatives and aligning requirements for water heating with draft requirements for dedicated water heaters. Introducing cooling (as information requirement). Introducing resource-efficiency requirements, including ensuring the availability of spare parts and facilitating easier access to repair and maintenance information, in line with the circular economy. This also includes providing end-of-life information on product dismantling for material recovery, recycling, and disposal. Introducing self-monitoring requirements. The draft regulation takes into account comments from the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Consultation Forum meetings, held on 27 September 2021 and 23 April 2023 and seeks to balance energy efficiency improvements with practical implementation.
