How it grew. Product rules began one at a time: boilers (1992), fridges (1996), lighting (2000). From 2005, framework legislation replaced that slow approach, and more than 30 measures have since been adopted, supported by a shared methodology (MEErP) and a well-established implementation process.
What it delivers. Ecodesign and labelling now cover around 50% of all EU primary energy. Average household bill ...
