ErP Certification

Details
I. Introduction to Certification
ErP certification is an energy efficiency certification of the European Union and is a mandatory certification project. ErP (Energy related Products), namely energy-related products, are closely related to many important environmental impact factors at every stage of their life cycle from production, distribution to use. Such as the consumption of other raw materials and natural resources (such as water), the generation of waste, environmental pollution caused by the discharge of harmful substances into the environment, and climate change related to energy consumption, etc.
The purpose of the EU's introduction of the ErP directive is to stipulate the environmental design requirements for energy-consuming products by establishing a coherent and comprehensive legal framework, in order to achieve the following goals:
1. Ensure the free circulation of energy-consuming products within the EU region;
2. Enhance the overall environmental performance of these products to protect the environment;
3. It helps ensure a stable energy supply and enhances the competitiveness of the EU economy.
4. Protect the interests of industry and consumers.
The relationship between ErP and CE marking
The ErP directive stipulates that energy-consuming products included in the implementation measures must be affixed with the CE marking before they can enter the EU market. Before obtaining the CE marking, the manufacturer or its authorized representative shall take measures to ensure that the product has passed the conformity assessment in accordance with the contents and procedures specified in the implementation measures, prepare the relevant technical documents for product conformity assessment, and issue an EC declaration of conformity.
Ii. Certification Mark
The ErP energy efficiency label contains the following information:
1. Trademark or supplier name;
2. Model name;
3. Energy efficiency grade range: A to G;
4. Energy consumption in working mode, with the unit being kWh/1000h;
5. Qr code, after scanning, can be linked to the EPREL database;
6. Energy efficiency grade;
7. Regulation Number.
