Electric space heaters are considered energy-related products that have a considerable energy-saving potential. The Eco Design Directive forms the European legal framework for setting requirements for environmentally friendly design of energy-related products. “The aim of this legislation is to rule out inefficient technologies and reduce the energy used by the products that heat our homes, helping to achieve carbon reduction targets.
This guideline is reducing environmental impacts taking into account the entire product life cycle.
Compliance with the guideline is based on a points system rating. Various features and functions can contribute to achieve the minimum legal requirements, for example:
