ErP 2015 Directive
product brochureBy adopting the Kyoto protocol, the European Union has undertaken to reduce CO2 emission by at least 20 percent by 2020.
To achieve this climate goal, the EU adopted the EuP directive (Energy-using Products Directive) in 2005. Renamed the ErP directive (Energy-related products Directive) in 2009, it will help with studying the savings potential of numerous energy-related products and codifying minimum requirements.
In June of 2010, binding limit values were defined for fans, regardless of whether they operate as individual untis or as components in a device or system.
This affects numerous application areas, ranging from refrigeration and air-conditioning technology to mechanical engineering or IT applications.
When the ErP Directive is implemented in two stages starting in 2013 and 2015, the more stringent efficiency requirements for fans will be in the power range of 125 watts to 500 kilowats.
For the different fan types, the EU specifies minimum efficiency levels. These are defined depending on the fan type, the measuring arrangement and the electrical power consumed.
Even in the first stage, about 30 percent of all currently available fans will no longer satisfy the new regulations. Then with the second stage as of 2015, another 20 percent of today\'s products will no longer meet the required efficiency.
