Directive 2009/125/EC is an ecological requirement directive for energy-related products, released by the EU in 2009, namely “Establish the framework of ecological design requirements for energy-related products”. It is not for product requirements, but only a framework directive. In accordance with the relevant provisions of this directive, the EU further develops a directive on the eco-design requirements to be met by certain types of energy-consuming products. Manufacturers selling related energy-using product in the EU must ensure that the product meets the energy and environmental standards set by the measure. The product scope of this directive currently includes more than 40 product groups (such as boilers, light bulbs, TVs and refrigerators, etc.) The ErP Directive, like the LVD Directive, EMC Directive and RoHS Directive, is part of the CE Directive system, and the relevant products must take into account the requirements of the ErP Directive before being exported to the EU for CE marking.
