EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

• Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

The 2024 Draghi Report1 emphasised that the transition to a low-carbon, resource-efficient,

and circular economy will be essential for securing the EU's long-term economic prosperity,

resilience, and competitiveness. Energy efficient products reduce energy bills for EU

consumers and businesses while also cutting material use, infrastructure needs and

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Energy product legislation is a long-standing policy

framework that originated in the aftermath of the 1973 oil crisis, and which has since been

gradually refined and extended, now covering products representing an estimated annual

turnover of more than EUR 500 billion, and related energy and other operational costs for

users of more than twice that amount2.

In response to the Draghi report, the Competitiveness Compass3 identified the urgent need for

simplification and for deepening the internal market as horizontal enablers for

competitiveness. The Commission has set targets to cut administrative costs by 25 % for all

business and public authorities and by 35 % for small to medium-sized enterprises. The

Draghi report also pointed to insufficient market surveillance, enforcement and compliance as

a major shortcoming in the implementation of the EU ecodesign and energy labelling

frameworks. The affordable energy action plan4 includes action on labelling to contribute to

lower energy bills for households.

As part of its commitment to screen the entire EU acquis, the Commission therefore

announced in its 2026 work programme5 an omnibus initiative on energy-related product

legislation.

This proposal aims to make targeted revisions to the following acts:

• Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 setting a framework for energy labelling (the Energy

Labelling Regulation6); and

• Regulation (EU) 2020/740 on the labelling of tyres with respect to fuel efficiency

and other essential parameters (the Tyre Labelling Regulation7);

The proposal builds on the implementation reports adopted in parallel under Article 19 of the

Energy Labelling Regulation and under Article 15 of the Tyre Labelling Regulation8. The

EN 2 EN

multi-stage consultation process included an implementation dialogue9, a reality check10 and a

call for evidence11. It is supported by an impact assessment12.

The energy efficiency framework for energy–related products and tyres consists of a

comprehensive set of provisions designed to provide customers and end-users with

harmonised and comparable information on energy and other characteristics of the products

before they make a purchase decision. For energy-related products, suppliers enter into the

European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL) information on energy efficiency

aspects and on non-energy aspects such as recyclability and noise. Similarly, for tyres,

suppliers enter into EPREL information on tyres’ rolling resistance (relevant to energy

efficiency), wet grip (relevant to safety aspects) and other environmental aspects.

The proposal does not change the scope and objectives of the labelling framework and

preserves the main policy objective of disclosure that enables customers and end-users to

make informed purchasing decisions. However, during the screening of the EU acquis,

simplification options were identified, including by making better use of the digital ecosystem

created by EPREL13.

The proposal introduces targeted changes to:

• simplify rules for suppliers and dealers without compromising the provision of

necessary information to customers and end-users while maximising accessibility to

that information and facilitating comparison of products; and

• improve compliance and enforcement by enhancing the clarity of legal concepts and

a better use of digital options.

These targeted changes will provide the flexibility to adopt more suitable product-specific

requirements in implementing measures for which individual reviews, evaluations and impact

assessments are systematically carried out under the Energy Labelling Regulation.

Further possible modifications of the Energy and Tyre Labelling Regulations are entirely

outside of the scope and aims of the present proposal. The Commission will constructively

engage with the co-legislators, in order to ensure that the legislative process on the present

proposal fully preserves its essential object and does not distort it.

The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)14, which

repealed and replaced the Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC15 as from 18 July 2024, subject to

certain transitional measures, is not part of the present omnibus. Implementation of the ESPR

is still in a very early phase. For the purposes of the present initiative, alignment across the

initiatives including on the interaction between the Digital Product Passport (DPP) and

EPREL is sought.

EN 3 EN

Finally, the proposal repeals Regulation (EC) No 106/200816 and Regulation (EU) No

174/201317, which implemented the US-EU Energy Star agreement and have become obsolete

when the latter elapsed.

The proposal contains the following key measures:

Flexibility as regards the format for energy labels accompanying products while maintaining

the possibility to obtain printed labels on request

The Energy Labelling Regulation requires that each unit of a product placed on the market is

accompanied by a printed label. The label is, for most products, found inside the box. For

lighting and electronic displays, printing on the packaging is required. Additionally, in case of

rescaling, both the label under the old regulation (the non-rescaled label) and the label under

the reviewed regulation (the rescaled label) are to be delivered in printed format with each

unit of product for a period of four months before the rescaled label is to be shown to

potential customers (thereafter referred to as “the transition period”).

The impact assessment supporting this proposal has assessed alternative options for how the

label should be provided - while maintaining the key requirement that a label must be

displayed to customers or end users at the points of sale. The proposal seeks to reduce the

number of labels inside boxes and/or printed on the packaging that are not used for display

and that the customer or end user gets with the purchased product and may simply discard as

the purchasing decision has been taken. The proposal removes the default rule in the energy

labelling framework to have a printed label accompanying each unit but it does not introduce

a ‘digital only’ system for label, given the impact this would have on the more SME-

dominated retail sector and the lack of sector specific behavioural studies on the effect of

moving fully to digital labels.

The proposal also removes the obligation for suppliers of tyres and energy-related products to

enter a separate label image in EPREL since the product database automatically generates

these labels. In addition, the proposal ensures that the QR code that is compulsory on revised

labels and the EPREL registration number are transmitted along the supply chain.

The proposal retains the possibility for dealers to request printed labels from suppliers, an

option that is expected to be used by smaller dealers who may face higher per unit printing

costs than suppliers, which generally are bigger manufacturers. The proposal also gives

dealers the possibility to display the label in shops on digital screens, considering

technological developments that enable such screens to display energy labels in the

appropriate resolution, colour and size.

Fully electronic product information sheets

Product information sheets (PIS) provide dealers with additional technical information useful

for marketing and sales. They can be accessed by anyone through EPREL where they are

automatically available in all official languages of the Union. Article 3(1) of the Energy

Labelling Regulation offers the option to not require the delivery of printed PIS for each unit

of product which was effectively retained by the delegated acts adopted so far. Even if dealers

currently have a right to request printed product information sheets, this right is rarely

Community energy-efficiency labelling programme for office equipment (OJ L 39, 13.2.2008, pp. 1–7,

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2008/106/oj). 17 Regulation (EU) No 174/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 February 2013

EN 4 EN

exercised. PIS should therefore become fully digital completing the digitalisation of this part

of the obligations.

Stronger accountability for non-EU manufacturers and their authorised representatives

Article 2(11) of the Energy Labelling Regulation defines ‘authorised representative’ (AR) as

“a natural or legal person established in the Union who has received a written mandate from

the manufacturer to act on its behalf in relation to specified tasks”. That definition was

established to have an EU-based entity responsible for registering the models in EPREL on

behalf of third country manufacturers. However, the notion of AR does not appear in any

further provision of the Energy Labelling Regulation, which creates a lack of clarity on the

role of the AR, in particular, since the responsibility for placing products on the market

remains with the manufacturer. The proposal therefore establishes a duty for ARs to cooperate

with MSAs and requires that a signed copy of the AR’s mandate is to be added to EPREL as a

condition for registering products and that any changes in the scope of that mandate are

notified to MSAs.

Simplifying the transition to rescaled labels for suppliers and dealers

The Energy Labelling Regulation currently requires suppliers to deliver both non-rescaled and

rescaled labels in printed form for each unit of product during a 4-month transition period

preceding the date where the rescaled labels are introduced. Dealers must obtain rescaled

labels to continue selling their existing stocks and need to change the label on display within

14 working days from the official rescaling date. They can continue selling units with the

non-rescaled label beyond that only in exceptional cases.

The proposal introduces greater flexibility during the transition period to allow suppliers to

deliver labels in line with their product-to-market processes during this time and dealers to

change the label on display as a more natural part of their stock management. Products

bearing the non-rescaled label may be marketed and sold, in shops and online, for an extended

period of 12 months from the official rescaling date (the date from which suppliers can only

place units on the market accompanied with the rescaled label).

Once-only principle for EPREL

The proposal clarifies that products for which EPREL offers equivalent information to that set

in a delegated act adopted under the ESPR’ do not have to be registered again in the registry

managing the digital product passport foreseen to be established under the ESPR. Instead, it

will be ensured that the central administrative part of EPREL and the common “model-

related” information in EPREL is interlinked with DPP registry item-level information.

Furthermore, for products where similar information is mandated at model level in EPREL

and in the DPP, a link between the two systems shall facilitate access to the relevant

information avoiding any potential reporting duplication for economic operators. This should

also be ensured for tyres in relation to information requirements set in delegated acts adopted

under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781. A similar interlinking exists between EPREL and the

Information and Communication System for the pan-European Market Surveillance of

technical products (ICSMS) in relation to in-depth inspection reports. Similarly, a second

identity verification should not be required, unless additional requirements need to be verified

for the DPP.

In addition, suppliers that have duly registered their products and provided the necessary

documentation in EPREL should be able to use that as evidence in relation to the assessment

of the product’s eligibility for Member States’ incentives (which, in accordance with Article

7(2) of the Energy Labelling Regulation, shall aim at the highest two significantly populated

classes of energy efficiency, or at higher classes laid down in the delegated act for the

EN 5 EN

product). Suppliers should not face additional requests for the same documentation where the

competent authorities can access the relevant documentation via EPREL. Member States will

therefore have to consider as sufficient proof of eligibility, information already registered in

EPREL (or in a DPP) to the extent this contains the information needed to assess eligibility

and provided suppliers upload supporting evidence such as test reports, declarations of

conformity, and where relevant, third-party conformity assessment documentation.

Clarifications of responsibilities of stakeholders along the supply chain

Both the Energy Labelling Regulation and the Tyre Labelling Regulation define

responsibilities for suppliers and dealers. However, unlike the Tyre Labelling Regulation, the

Energy Labelling Regulation does not distinguish between wholesale distributors and dealers

selling to the customers. Moreover, the Energy Labelling Regulation and the Tyre Labelling

Regulation do not clearly define the responsibilities of intermediaries such as installers,

professional repairers, tyre fitters or kitchen fitters. In fact, the only time that installers are

specifically mentioned in the Energy Labelling Regulation is as clients of another dealer. It is

relevant to specify that they are covered by dealers’ obligations when selling energy–related

products as part of their commercial services. The proposal clarifies that installers who offer

for sale, hire or hire-purchase energy labelled products as part of their commercial activity,

must include relevant product energy labels in their invitations to purchase, as this is

important precontractual information that ensures informed purchasing decisions, and make

available the product information sheet as indicated in the delegated act.

Similarly, it is appropriate to add the specific category of tyre fitters under the Tyre Labelling

Regulation as they often have a dual role: they do not just fit a tyre; in doing so they are also

typically engaged in selling or hiring out tyres as part of their commercial activity where their

role is then not different from that of brick and mortar or online shops.

By contrast, vehicle dealers, another possible intermediary in the tyre sales chain should no

longer have to display the tyre label in new car sales since end users in most cases cannot

choose the tyre fitted to their vehicle, and since the rolling resistance is typically already

reflected indirectly in other precontractual information related to emissions or autonomy.

Aligning the procedures for updating the parameters under the Tyre Labelling Regulation

with the ones under the Energy Labelling Regulation

The Tyre Labelling Regulation only allows the Commission to update via delegated acts the

values, calculation methods and information requirements on the label related to severe snow

and ice conditions. It does not empower the Commission to update or review the parts of the

label on fuel efficiency, wet grip or noise. The only way to update or rescale these parts of the

tyre label is therefore through an amendment of the Tyre Labelling Regulation in co-decision.

As a result, the current tyre label is out-of-date in relation to UNECE requirements and

market realities. By allowing for the revision of all tyre label aspects via delegated acts, the

proposal aligns with the approach under the Energy Labelling Regulation which allows the

updating of all parameters of the label in view of technological and market developments.

Update tyre information parameters in the public part of EPREL

The proposal amends current information requirements under the Tyre Labelling Regulation

to cover those parameters needed for unambiguous tyre selection, including for the purposes

of the EU taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852 18.

18 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 establishing the technical screening criteria for

determining the conditions under which an economic activity qualifies as contributing substantially to

EN 6 EN

Adding test reports for tyres to the documentation to be uploaded in the compliance part of

EPREL which is accessible only to market surveillance authorities

Under the Tyre Labelling Regulation, type approval of tyres is carried out at product group

(‘tyre family’) level and based on a ‘worst case’ scenario. By contrast, the tyre label and

registration in EPREL is model based. This can lead to situations where some tyre models

have a better performance than the ‘worst-case’ documented by the type approval for the

entire ‘family’ (that can cover several models). The proposal replaces the requirement to

provide testing protocols with a requirement to provide test reports which should substantiate

the values declared in the label. It is clarified that where simulations or extrapolations are

used to determine the exact values for certain sizes/models within the tyre family, those

procedures should be provided together with the underlying results used as a basis for those

calculations. Type approval reports should only replace the need of a specific test report if the

declared performance is not better than the ‘worst case’ for the ‘family’.

Consistency with other Union policies

This proposal aims to ensure consistency with other instruments such as the ESPR and the

Digital Services Act (DSA)19.

2. LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY

Legal basis

The legal bases of the proposal are Articles 114 and 194(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning

of the European Union (TFEU). This reflects the underlying legal bases of the regulations that

are being revised: Article 194(2) (TFEU) for the Energy Labelling Regulation and Article 114

and Article 194(2) (TFEU) for the Tyre Labelling Regulation.

Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)

This proposal relates to directly applicable regulations that govern the access to the internal

market. The proposal does not alter the division of competences between the EU and the

Member States. The targeted amendments to fully harmonised requirements established under

the Energy Labelling Regulation and the Tyre Labelling Regulation, do not change the

substance or ambition of the political objectives of these two regulations.

Proportionality

The targeted amendments improve the effectiveness of the existing rules and the benefits from

having EPREL for the internal market and do not go beyond what is necessary to maintain a

level playing field, ensure uniform compliance and better alignment with technological

developments. New obligations are targeted based on evidence. While the “one-fits-all"

requirement to have a printed label accompanying each product unit is removed, the right of

customers to have a label in display in shops is maintained and dealers keep the right to

request printed labels from suppliers.

Choice of the instrument

A proposal for a Regulation is the appropriate instrument as the underlying acts that are being

amended are also Regulations.

climate change mitigation or climate change adaptation and for determining whether that economic

activity causes no significant harm to any of the other environmental objectives. 19 Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 October 2022 on a

277, 27.10.2022, pp. 1–102, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2022/2065/oj).

EN 7 EN

3. RESULTS OF EX-POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER

CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Ex-post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation

Article 19 of the Energy Labelling Regulation required the Commission to produce a report

on the implementation of that Regulation. Similarly, Article 15 of the Tyre Labelling

Regulation required the Commission to produce a report on the implementation of that

Regulation. Both reports are adopted together with this proposal and provide some of the

evidence for the impact assessment.

Stakeholder consultations

The Commission regularly consults stakeholders when establishing and reviewing product

requirements and energy labels through the Consultation forum established by Article 14 of

the Energy Labelling Regulation. This forum was also consulted in writing on the energy

labelling implementation report in 2025. Input was received from 12 Member States (Austria,

Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands,

Portugal and Slovenia), two European Economic Area / European Free Trade Association

countries (Norway and Iceland) and seven non-governmental members (APPLiA, Digital

Europe, EHI, EHPA, EPEE, EuroCommerce and Lighting Europe). The implementation

reports were also supported by two representative surveys, one on the Energy Labelling

Regulation and another one on the Tyre Labelling Regulation which are publicly available20.

On 14 October 2025, an implementation dialogue was held involving 23 organisations

covering all stakeholder groups, as follows:

– manufacturers: APPLiA, CEFACD, CEMEP, Digital Europe, EHI, EHPA, Eurovent,

Lighting Europe, Tyres Europe;

– dealers: Ebay, EDRA-GHIN, EuroCommerce, Independent Retail Europe;

– installers: GVP Europe;

– MSAs: the chair of the Administrative Cooperation group for Eco-Design and

Energy Labelling, Independent market surveillance experts, PROSAFE, RVO (NL);

– Non-governmental organisations (NGOs)/thinktanks/consumer associations: BEUC,

CLASP, ECOS, EEB; and

– others: SME United.

Following the implementation dialogue, a reality check meeting was convened in December

2025. Participation was open to the public (and announced on the website of the

Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy). Invitations were sent to the Consultation

Forum, the Administrative Cooperation Group for Ecodesign and Energy Labelling and the

Administrative Cooperation Group for Tyres Labelling21.

The reality check meeting brought together around 160 participants in person and online.

Participants were mainly manufacturers (40%), Member State/enforcement authorities (30%),

consumers/NGOs/think tanks (7 %,). Only one retail representative attended.

The agenda of the reality check meeting covered technical aspects of measures that could be

envisaged to make the rules under the Energy Labelling and the Tyre Labelling Regulation

simpler and more effective. The Commission presented two non-papers to structure the

20 Study on consumer understanding of the EU tyre label applied since 1 May 2021 and Study on

consumer understanding of the EU energy labels applied since 2021. 21 Adcos - Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs.

EN 8 EN

discussion. The agenda included a more in-depth exchange on a suggestion from APPLiA to

move to a ‘digital by default’ approach for the energy label, which was rejected by other

stakeholder groups. One of the main outcomes of the discussion was strong support for an

approach that gives flexibility to determine, on a product-specific basis, the most appropriate

way to provide the label with individual products. There was also broad agreement that the

transition between labels in case of rescaling could be simplified. Two national authorities

and Tyres Europe were the main stakeholders providing input on possible simplifications to

the Tyre Labelling Regulation.

A call for evidence was open for feedback from 12 February 2026 to 12 March 2026. It

received 58 responses, half of them from manufacturers. There was also a 75 % overlap with

participants in the reality check meeting. The submissions broadly confirmed the stakeholder

groups’ previously known positions. For more details on all consultation steps, see Annex 2

(synopsis report) to the impact assessment.

Collection and use of expertise

Evidence gathering was carried out by the Commission. In addition to stakeholder input, the

analysis in the impact assessment and this proposal are based largely on the two

implementation reports and accompanying surveys, and on insights gathered from market

surveillance, reports of national compliance activities carried out in 2024, analysis of EPREL

and ICSMS statistics, complaints received by the Commission, publicly available market data

and research and findings from EU-funded projects supporting the implementation of the

energy and tyre labelling frameworks, in particular EEPLIANT Concerted Action22 and

Compliance Services23.

Impact assessment

An impact assessment accompanies this proposal and includes a comprehensive summary of

stakeholder consultation activities.

It sets out the intervention logic and problems to be addressed by the proposal and quantifies

the expected savings and costs in line with the Commission Better Regulation requirements,

in particular the recently adopted Communication on a simpler, clearer and better enforced

EU rulebook (COM (2026) 380). The scrutiny meeting with the Regulatory Scrutiny Board

(RSB) took place on 20 May 2026 and the impact assessment received a non-qualified

opinion on 22 May 2026 which recommended to improve:

(1) the analysis of non-compliance; and

(2) the rationale and comparison of the two policy options and the social/consumer

assessment.

The impact assessment was reviewed in the light of the RSB’s quality checklist and its non-

qualified opinion, and a revised impact assessment was shared as part of the interservice

consultation.

Regulatory fitness and simplification

The proposal is in line with the REFIT objectives. It proposes means to reduce compliance

costs for suppliers and dealers, increase the benefits of EPREL and improve the effectiveness

of MSAs. The proposal amends the existing Energy Labelling and Tyre Labelling

Regulations. In accordance with the ‘one in, one out’ principle, this omnibus is expected to

22 EEPLIANT - Home 23 Compliance Services

deliver up to EUR 12524 million in annual administrative cost savings, driven by the removal

and simplification of provisions over a 10-year period. The additional costs arising from new

obligations are estimated at EUR 11.5 million. The resulting indirect positive impacts for

suppliers, dealers, customers, and MSAs – stemming from a more level playing field – are not

captured in this monetisation.Fundamental rights

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

amending Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 and Regulation (EU) 2020/740 as regards simplification

and better use of digital options for energy and tyre labelling

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114

and Article 194(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee25,

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions26,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1) The political guidelines for the Commission’s 2024-2029 term27 point to the goal of

simplifying legislation to eliminate any overlaps and contradictions, while maintaining

original policy objectives. In its communication on a Strategy for a single market28, the

Commission acknowledges digitalisation of paper formats as a key lever for a smooth

functioning single market. That digitalisation is partly implemented for the product

information sheet, but not yet for the energy label.

(2) The Draghi report29 points to insufficient market surveillance and poor enforcement as

major shortcomings in the implementation of the EU ecodesign and energy labelling

frameworks. This includes missing, fake or wrongly-placed labels, and wrong or

inconsistent declarations of energy efficiency on labels and in the European Product

Registry for Energy Labelling (‘EPREL’).

(3) In the context of the Commission’s commitment to reduce administrative burdens and

compliance costs, enhance interoperability, and stimulate competitiveness, it is opportune to

amend certain provisions of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of

25 OJ C [...], [...], p. [...]. 26 OJ C [...], [...], p. [...]. 27 Europe’s Choice, Political Guidelines for the next European Commission 2024−2029, Ursula von der Leyen. 28 COM (2025) 500. 29 Draghi, M. (2024), The future of European competitiveness.

the Council 30 setting a framework for energy labelling and Regulation (EU) 2020/740 of the

European Parliament and of the Council 31 on the labelling of tyres.

(4) It is appropriate to take advantage of opportunities for simplification and digitalisation,

which were not anticipated when Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 and Regulation (EU)

2020/740 were adopted. In particular, the further development and wider use of EPREL,

established in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369, represent such

opportunities that are not yet fully exploited. This database contains over two million model

entries for energy-related products and tyres, and the introduction of QR codes on the

respective labels unlocks access to comprehensive information on the products for dealers,

distributors, customers and end users.

(5) Energy-related products are very diverse and range from electronics and white goods to

large heating and cooling appliances. There is a need for more flexibility on when and how a

label is to be delivered with each product, in view of the diversity in products and

distribution channels. The requirement to have a printed label for each unit should be

adapted to the product specificities that enable to identify the best combination of digital and

printed label transmission.

(6) Experience shows that the electronic format of the product information sheet has been

accepted by the market, and it should be made fully digital. The right of dealers to request a

printed copy of this product information sheet should therefore be removed. In order to

ensure that customers, installer, dealers, professional repairers, recyclers and any other

stakeholder and the public in general nevertheless have access to product information such

as maintenance and repair instructions stored in EPREL, it is appropriate to specify that

suppliers should include information in the documentation accompanying the product, the

technical promotional material, in visual advertisements, and in distance selling, thereby

allowing to retrieve the information registered in EPREL.

(7) The reports under Article 19 of Regulation 2017/1369 and under Article 15 of Regulation

(EU) 2020/740, and the results of compliance checks carried out by national market

surveillance authorities and other market actors, point to persistent insufficient levels of

market surveillance and resulting high levels of non-compliance, particularly for online

sales. Some of them are rooted in unclear definitions and technical specifications that should

be clarified.

(8) To avoid the need for economic operators of energy-related products to register multiple

times the same model-related information, it is appropriate to ensure a technical link

between EPREL and the centralised element of the future digital registry under Regulation

(EU) 2024/178132. A single system for electronic verification of the identity of suppliers for

both databases also reduces the burden for suppliers. The reuse of information registered in

EPREL for national purposes, such as documenting eligibility with financial incentives for

products in scope, should also be encouraged in line with the ‘once-only’ mandate set out in

Regulation (EU) 2018/1724 establishing a single digital gateway33.

(9) The supplier obligations laid down in Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 apply to EU

manufacturers, importers and authorised representatives, all of which are required to comply

with those obligations. It is appropriate to eliminate ambiguity about the scope of the

mandates of Union-based authorised representatives registering energy-related products on

behalf of manufacturers established outside the Union. To provide more clarity for market

surveillance authorities about who can be requested to take corrective action if a product

fails to comply with energy labelling rules, authorised representatives should therefore be

required to include a copy of their mandate in the compliance part of EPREL. This is

without prejudice to the obligations of authorised representatives in accordance with other

Union legislation.

(10) Information referring to an offer of products placed on the market or made available on the

market which are not compliant with this Regulation should be considered to be illegal

content within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2022/206534. Regulation (EU) 2022/2065

also provides that online marketplaces are obliged to design and organise their online

interface in a way that allows traders to provide, among others, information concerning the

labelling and marking in compliance with rules of applicable Union law on product safety

and product compliance. This information may include unambiguous product identifiers and

the related machine-readable and freely accessible pre-contractual information available via

the public interface of EPREL.

(11) Customers may be influenced by labelling information being shown at different stages of an

online shopping process and before the actual purchasing decision is made. In online

distance selling, the simplified label display with nested display mechanisms should

therefore be visible not only on the main product page, but also on other relevant pages such

as those listing or comparing alternatives and on the shopping basket page shown before a

purchase is completed.

(12) It is appropriate to continuously monitor that sufficient action is taken by market

surveillance authorities to address non-compliance and that the Commission regularly

reports on efforts and progress made.

(13) The existing provisions in Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 on greying out empty energy labels

classes on the label for lower classes in which models are no longer allowed to be placed on

the market or put into service because of an ecodesign implementing measure have proved

difficult to implement and should be removed.

(14) Intermediary actors such as installers or tyre fitters, as well as dealers not selling to

customers or end users directly, should make sure that the energy labelling related

information is handed down the supply chain. Intermediary actors should comply with the

obligations set for dealers under the energy labelling and tyre labelling frameworks when

they, as part of their commercial activity, offer products or tyres for sale, hire or hire-

purchase, or display products to customers or tyres to end users.

(15) To simplify the transition period in case of label rescaling, suppliers should no longer be

required to provide both the non-rescaled and the rescaled labels with each unit placed on

the market during the 4-month transition period preceding the date as from which rescaled

labels apply. During that period, suppliers should be required to provide only the non-

rescaled or rescaled label, or should be allowed to supply both labels. After the rescaling

date, suppliers should only provide the rescaled label with any units placed on the market.

(16) The current 14-working-day deadline for dealers to substitute non-rescaled labels by

rescaled labels on products on display both in shops and online should be replaced by a

more flexible, stock-driven process managed by dealers. In that context, dealers should

simply ensure that the labels delivered with products to customers correspond to the label

used for display. Dealers should be able to continue displaying and selling units that they

received with only the non-rescaled label until 12 months after the rescaling date.

(17) Unlike Regulation (EU) 2017/1369, which relies on delegated acts to lay down product-

specific technical requirements, Regulation (EU) 2020/740 incorporates all technical

specifications directly in its annexes. However, the scope of the existing empowerment does

not allow for the update of important parameters of the tyre label in line with technological

and market developments, as is the case for energy labelling. The procedure for amending

the tyre label should therefore be aligned with the rules for energy labelling, by empowering

the Commission to amend the tyre label and the technical annexes, and to align with

ecodesign information requirements established under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781.

(18) There is a need to improve the effectiveness of the EU tyre label scheme and its enforcement

to enable end-users to identify safe and fuel-efficient tyres that are compliant. Obligations

for dealers should also be proportionate. Therefore, detailed specifications for simplified

label display via nested display mechanisms for online sales, in promotional material and in

tyre catalogues should be included and obligations for vehicle dealers should be removed.

(19) The Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the European

Community on the coordination of energy-efficiency labelling programmes for office

equipment the Energy Star Agreement expired in February 2018. Regulation (EC) No

106/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council35 and Regulation (EU) No

174/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council36, which implemented that

agreement, should therefore be repealed.

LEGISLATIVE FINANCIAL AND DIGITAL STATEMENT

1. FRAMEWORK OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE

1.1. Title of the proposal/initiative

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending

Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 setting a framework for energy labelling and Regulation (EU)

2020/740 on tyre labelling

1.2. Policy area(s) concerned

Energy

1.3. Objective(s)

1.3.1. General objective(s)

The general objective pursued by this legislative proposal is to simplify elements of

Regulations (EU) 2017/1369 and (EU) 2020/740 in order to reduce administrative costs for

businesses and improving compliance, while preserving the effectiveness of existing

legislation and the framework established by the recently agreed Ecodesign for sustainable

Products Regulation (EU) 2024/1781.

The regulatory framework for energy efficient products is well established and enjoys the

support of most manufacturers, retailers and consumers. With the European Product

Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL) database offering digital possibilities that were not

anticipated at the time, it seems opportune to revisit the interplay between obligations

asking for printed documents and digital formats.

The proposal also aims to tackle the persistent high levels of non-compliant products

(particularly in online shops).

1.3.2. Specific objective(s)

The specific objectives of the proposed amendments to Regulations (EU) 207/1369 and

(EU) 2020/740 included in this proposal aim to achieve the following results:

Reducing administrative complexity and cumulative burden by providing the possibility to

adjust supplier obligation to accompany each unit with a printed label in view of the

particular characteristics of the product. Remove the option for dealers to request printed

product information sheets.

Digitalising product information for easier display in shops as well as easier and more

long-term access to product life span related information accessible in the product database

to end users/consumers such as maintenance information, information on spare parts and

end of life product.

Streamlining EPREL registration obligations to increase usefulness and usability of the

registered information, and to facilitate online compliance.

Increasing compliance with labels, particularly for tyres, heating and cooling appliances,

and in online shops

Simplifying processes for adapting tyre label requirements to changes in technology or

market conditions

Improving market surveillance by clarifying legal concepts and by making better use of

EPREL to tackle non-compliance

EN 21 EN

1.3.3. Expected result(s) and impact

Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups

targeted.

The proposed amendments to Regulations (EU) 2017/1369 and Regulation (EU) 2020 will

affect: manufacturers (EU-based or from third countries) of energy-related products with

an energy label, tyre manufacturers, tyre and car dealers, tyre distributors, energy

product dealers (both wholesale and direct-to-consumer sellers), consumers, SMEs and

other businesses buying or leasing energy-related products and tyres, providers of online

marketplaces, importers and authorised representatives of products within scope, installers

and national market surveillance authorities.

The proposal will improve the effectiveness of the policies through a better interplay of

digital and printed documents. It will improve the level playing field for compliant

suppliers and dealers.

1.3.4. Indicators of performance

Specify the indicators for monitoring progress and achievements.

To monitor progress towards achieving the proposal’s specific objectives, the Commission

will use existing fora (AdCO (sector-specific formations); Ecodesign and Energy Labelling

Consultation Forum and ecodesign for sustainable products and energy labelling

Consultation Forum) and monitor developments as part of EU funded projects to support

implementation and compliance.

Product-specific reviews under the energy labelling framework and their accompanying

evaluations will shed light on the effect of the changes.

In addition, the EPREL product database allows for continued market monitoring and for

receiving complaints on non-compliant products. Finally, compliance will be monitored

through the relevant procedures, including the ICSMS database that is interlinked with

EPREL.

1.4. The proposal/initiative relates to:

☐ a new action

☐ a new action following a pilot project/preparatory action 38

☐ the extension of an existing action

☑ a merger or redirection of one or more actions towards another/a new action

1.5. Grounds for the proposal/initiative

1.5.1. Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long-term including a detailed timeline for roll-

out of the implementation of the initiative

N/A. The Regulations are directly applicable.

The Commission will in its role as manager of the database implement accompanying

changes in the set-up of the EPREL database once the proposal is adopted.

1.5.2. Added value of EU involvement (it may result from different factors, e.g. coordination

gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities). For the purposes of this

38 As referred to in Article 58(2), point (a) or (b) of the Financial Regulation.

EN 22 EN

section 'added value of EU involvement' is the value resulting from EU action, that is

additional to the value that would have been otherwise created by Member States alone.

Improved harmonised single market rules.

Greater effectiveness of EU-wide product database, including for national enforcement

activities and national funding schemes

for more details cf. subsidiarity chapter of the IA

1.5.3. Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past

The reports required under Article 19 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 and Article 15 of

Regulation (EU) 2020/740 contain evidence on effectiveness of implementation and

legislative set-up.

1.5.4. Compatibility with the multiannual financial framework and possible synergies with other

appropriate instruments

N/A

1.5.5. Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for redeployment

N/A

1.6. Duration of the proposal/initiative and of its financial impact

Alignment with the European Data Strategy

Explain how the requirement(s) are aligned with the European Data Strategy

The proposal advances the European Data Strategy by ensuring adaptive and proportionate data management, sharing of data between

EU and national authorities and simplifying registration in EPREL. It maintains and extends interoperability and transparency of

EN 54 EN

EPREL. It makes better use of data already collected in EPREL. Registration and verification only to be done once for EPREL and the

registry to be set up under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781.

Alignment with the once-only principle

Explain how the once-only principle has been considered and how the possibility to reuse existing data has been explored

Existing information in EPREL is proposed to be used better by national authorities for financial incentives. Newly asked

documentation for the compliance part in EPREL and will avoid that the same information is requested from national authorities each

time when compliance is checked.

Explain how newly created data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable, and meets high-quality standards

The changes build up on the established EPREL database set-up which is constantly improved for its user-friendliness. Additional

suggestions from stakeholders for which no change in legal mandate are required (e.g. including a photo and the brand name of the

product) will be implemented alongside the legal proposal by the European Commission. Modified data remains findable, accessible,

interoperable and reusable with different rules applying to the public and the compliance part.
