What is the EU ErP Certification?
ERP = Energy produced products, which are energy-related products, are closely related to many important environmental factors in all stages of their life cycle of production, distribution, and use. Such as the consumption of other raw materials and natural resources(such as water), the generation of waste, the environmental pollution caused by the release of harmful substances into the environment, and the related climate change due to energy consumption.
The purpose of the EU ERP Directive is to establish environmental design requirements for energy-consuming products through the development of a coherent and comprehensive legal framework to achieve the following objectives:
1, ensure the free circulation of energy-consuming products within the European Union;
Improve the overall environmental performance of these products and protect the environment accordingly;
3, ensure energy supply security and improve the competitiveness of the EU economy;
4, safeguard the interests of industry and consumers.
ErP Authentication Identity
Relationship between ErP authentication and CE authentication identification
The ERP instruction belongs to the CE Mark requirement. If the product that is put into the European market belongs to the CE range, the CE Mark should be carried. In addition, some authoritative foreign certification agencies can provide ERP logo for market promotion.
Does the acquisition of Energy Star accreditation Mark compliance with the ErP certification requirements?
Doesn't fit. The Energy Star is a United States certification symbol and therefore can not be used as a proof of compliance with EU directives. The symbol that can now be used as a proof of compliance is the European ecolabel.

How to do ErP authentication effectively?
The conformity assessment of the product is carried out in accordance with the internal design control procedures of appendix IV of the ERP 2005/32/EC Decree.
The simple and effective method of conformity assessment is based on Annex IV of the EuP Act, namely:
1. (a) Provide product reports on the environmental footprint of the LCA(life cycle evaluation);
2. Provide the test report required in the detailed rules of ecological design implementation;
3. Provision of relevant information as required;
But effective is the first-internal control
ErP Certification Factory Inspection
No test is required.
ErP authentication cycle
Regular 2-3 weeks, can be urgent, plus urgent additional costs.
