Introduction to ERP certification
ErP = Energy-related Products, Energy related Products.Refers to any product that has been placed in the market and/or has been delivered and will affect energy consumption during its use.It includes that the ErP directive covers energy related products, them as separate parts for end users to be put into market and/or used by delivery, and they should be able to be independent of the environmental impact assessment.
The ErP directive is the new European CE marking code.As a CE mark directive, the ErP directive requires that the same safety rules, electromagnetic compatibility, radio and other requirements be implemented together.
Method of operation
The Erp directive belongs to the CE mark. If the product that is invested in the European market belongs to the CE range, it should carry the CE mark.In addition, some authoritative foreign accrediting agencies can provide the ErP logo for marketing use
Will the energy star recognition signal compliance with ErP requirements?
Not at all.The energy star is an American certification mark and therefore cannot be used as proof of compliance with eu directives.The only symbol that can be used as a conformance is European ecolabel.
Conformity assessment of products in accordance with the internal design control procedures of ErP 2005/32/EC ordinance.
The simplest and most effective method of conformity assessment is to refer to annex iv of the EuP decree, namely:
1. Provide product LCA (life cycle assessment) environmental footprint report
2. Provide the test report required in the implementation rules of ecological design
3. Provide relevant information required
