EU Energy-using Products Update

<---- Back to "Standards & Certifications"

The European Union's (EU) Energy Using Products (EuP) Directive

Energy-using ProductsThe first fourteen targets of the European Union's (EU) Energy Using Products (EuP) Directive are decided and consultants have been selected to look at these initial "implementing measures". American companies are encouraged to contact the consultants doing the studies during the exploratory phase in order to get their input considered in the final report. There is nothing to prohibit U.S. firms from fully participating in the studies and thus having a voice in crafting the legislation that will eventually affect their products and their exports to the European Union.

The European Commission has posted many of its actions in regards to EuP on its website and American companies are urged to consult it often for updates.

Links to all the studies can be found through this EU Commission Directorate General for Energy and Transportation website.
