Definition

ErP Certification is the Energy Efficiency Certification Part of CE Certification, which has been enforced since 2013.

ErP = Energy-related Products, or energy-related products. Refers to any product that has been put on the market and/or has been delivered for use.

And products that have an impact on energy consumption during their use. It includes components of energy-related products covered by ErP directives that are put into market and/or delivered to end users as independent components, and that should be able to independently conduct environmental impact assessments.

ErP Directive is the new European CE Marking Regulation. As a CE flag instruction, the requirements of the ErP instruction will be implemented together with other requirements such as safety regulations, electromagnetic compatibility, radio and so on.

Usage method

Erp Directive belongs to CE Marking Requirement. If the products put into European market fall within the scope of CE, CE Marking should be carried. In addition, some authoritative foreign certification agencies can provide ErP logo for market promotion.

Does getting Energy Star approval mark compliance with ErP requirements?

No Energy Star is an American certification mark and therefore cannot be used as a proof of compliance with EU directives. The only sign that can be used as a proof of conformity is the European ecolabel.

Authentication

Assessment of product conformity is carried out in accordance with the internal design control procedures in Appendix IV to ErP 2005/32/EC Decree.

The simplest and most effective method of conformity assessment is to refer to Annex IV of the EuP Act, namely:

1. LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) Environmental Footprint Report for Product Provision

2. Provide test reports required in the implementation rules of ecological design

3. Providing the required information

But the most effective way is the first - internal control.
