PROSAFE is hosting a Final Conference to commemorate the end of the EEPLIANT3 activities!

The EU-funded EEPLIANT3 Concerted Action (June 2019 to March 2024) involved 24 Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) and 5 organisations from 21 countries and represented a powerful tool to help deliver the intended economic and environment benefits of the regulatory framework for Energy Labelling and Ecodesign.

During two half days, on 06 (closed meeting) and 07 (open event) March 2024, the project participants, stakeholders, and the European Commission will convene in Brussels to discuss the conclusions and findings from the inspection and testing activities, as well as takeaways and suggestions for improvement.

EEPLIANT2 Final Events from 4 to 5 February 2020

The Energy Efficiency Compliant Products 2016 (EEPLIANT2), which started in September 2017, ended in February 2020. To mark this occasion a Final Conference was organised on 4 February 2020 at the premises of PROSAFE, Brussels.

The EEPLIANT2 Joint Action, consisting of 17 Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) from across the EU, with PROSAFE as a coordinator, has organised coordinated monitoring, verification and enforcement activities, including product testing of domestic and professional refrigeration and network standby. What are the final results, lessons learned, actions taken, and plans for the future? Review the Agenda of the final Conference here. 

On 5 February, PROSAFE together with the European Commission organised as well a brainstorming Workshop to stimulate a discussion with all MSAs about the surprisingly high rate of non-compliance detected following tests in EEPLIANT2. The workshop's purpose was to understand the causes and investigate new ways of action to improve the situation. The event was open only to MSAs and the European Commission. The Agenda is available for Consortium Members here.

MARKET SURVEILLANCE: MORE CAPACITY AND CLARITY - MORE IMPACT

Building on the 2020 Climate and Energy Package, the 2030 Climate & Energy Framework sets a target of at least 32.5% improvement in energy efficiency. Achieving this ambitious goal requires, amongst other things, an effective market surveillance, which will help deliver the intended economic and environmental benefits of the EU Energy Labelling and Ecodesign regulations.

Part of the challenge is that some products sold on the market consume more energy than allowed by the legislation and declared by the manufacturers. This session highlighted how a series of pan-European market surveillance projects implement change on the ground to help shape the future of EU’s market surveillance on energy efficiency. Defeat devices, circumvention, testing of products, metrics to enable better and more comprehensive assessment of impacts and energy savings are all key topics on our agenda.

The seminar introduced several initiatives funded by the H2020 programme which raised confidence among purchasers, manufacturers, and retailers, helped to maintain a level playing field for compliant economic operators, and improved the impact of EU energy efficiency legislation:

• the EEPLIANT trilogy – organised by PROSAFE and market surveillance authorities (MSAs) focusing on a range of energy-related products and tools to support market surveillance; 
• ANTICSS – focusing on defining, identifying and eliminating circumvention; and
• INTAS – a project addressing challenges of conducting market surveillance of large industrial products.

The event targeted the governmental institutions, business and industry, civil society, academia and policy makers interested in the practical implementation of energy efficiency targets.
