EXPLANATORY NOTE

(

This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.

)

The purpose of these amending Regulations is to give further effect to the implementation of Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (recast).

The Energy-related Products Directive is a Framework Directive which specifies the framework within which detailed measures (referred to as EU measures), setting EU ecodesign requirements for specific energy-related products (referred to as listed products), are brought forward by the EU Commission. It is a recast of an earlier Directive (Directive 2005/32/EC) which established a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-using products and extends the scope of the application of that Directive to a wider variety of products which do not consume energy during use but have a significant contribution to make to energy saving.

These Regulations amend the EU (Ecodesign Requirements for Certain Energy-related Products) (Amendment) Regulations 2013 (

S.I. No. 454 of 2013

). The Schedule expands the list of products and introduces the associated EU measures and allows for their enforcement. It revokes a number of existing EU measures and amends others. The Regulations oblige manufacturers, their authorised representatives or, in their absence, an importer of a product listed in the Schedule, not to place the said product on the market or put it into service if it does not conform to the applicable EU measure.
