The Energy Testing Pool 2020 – ENERTP2020 – is a 48-month long framework contract that will organize every year a multiple-products testing campaign of energy-related products under the Eco-design and Energy Labelling legislation. The first specific contract foresees the first kick-off meeting on the 23rd of September 2022 in the premises of PROSAFE (and in hybrid mode). 12 participating accredited laboratories from 9 EU Member States will join their forces to perform the most complete array of tests for energy-related products requested by the Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs).

  

 

The single framework contract intends to deliver testing activities and ancillary services for certain products – selected by a group of 15 MSAs from 13 European countries in agreement with the European Commission.

The contract foresees testing activities for 7 EU Regulations regarding the following product categories:

• Household washing machines

• Domestic (gas and electrical) oven 

• Gas/electrical hobs

• Gas/electrical range hoods

• Air-to water heat pumps

• Combination gas boiler heaters

• Electric driven air-cooled chillers

 

 

ENERTP2020 aims to raise the level of market surveillance for the products in question, thus decreasing the non-compliance rate for the energy-related goods in the Single Market. The timing is crucial – given the current energetic crisis we are all facing.

 

 

1) To help Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) evaluate the state of play in the market concerning Eco-design and Energy Labelling;

 

2) To ensure the energy efficiency of products in the European market is met – allowing for the achievement of the 2030 Energy Efficiency Targets;

 

3) To benefit the EU consumers and make sure they are confident about the products properly delivering the indicated energy saving. 

 

 

The 12 laboratories collaborating with PROSAFE cover a broad European geoghrapical scope: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Spain.
