2009/125/EC
Regulation 2009/125/EC establishes a framework within the European Union to set eco-design requirements for energy-related products. Its goal is to improve the environmental performance of these products—such as appliances, machinery, and equipment—by reducing energy consumption and environmental impact throughout their lifecycle, from manufacture to disposal. The regulation aims to promote eco-friendly innovations, support sustainable consumption, and ensure products meet minimum environmental standards. It applies across the EU to encourage manufacturers to design products that are more efficient, less harmful to the environment, and more sustainable, benefiting consumers and the planet alike.
