Eco-Design
requirements for EuP (Energy using Products)
The EuP Directive 2005/32/EC of 6 July 2005 established
a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements (such as energy
efficiency requirements) for energy-using products (EuP). At the end of
2007, the EU Commission launched the preparatory study on vacuum cleaners
(lot 17) which focus on domestic appliances but may also apply for commercial
products, e.g. vacuum cleaners used for hotels or office spaces. EUnited
Cleaning founded a task force for the involvement of the relevant manufacturers
as stakeholders to this preparatory study.
