DIRECTIVESCOMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/26/EUof 31 March 2010amending Directive 97/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery(Text with EEA relevance)THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 97/68/EC of 16 December 1997 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approxi mation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery ( 1 ), and in particular Articles 14 and 14a thereof, Whereas:(1) Article 14a of Directive 97/68/EC sets out the criteria and the procedure for extending the period referred to in Article 9a(7) of that Directive. Studies carried out in accordance with Article 14a of Directive 97/68/EC show that there are substantial technical difficulties to comply with stage II requirements for professional use, multi- positional, hand-held mobile machinery in which engines of classes SH:2 and SH:3 are installed. It is therefore necessary to extend the period referred to in Article 9a(7) until 31 July 2013. (2) Since the amendment of Directive 97/68/EC in 2004, technical progress has been made in the design of diesel engines with a view to make them compliant with the exhaust emission limits for stages IIIB and IV. Electronically controlled engines, largely replacing me- chanically controlled fuel injection and control systems, have been developed. Therefore, the current general type- approval requirements in Annex I to Directive 97/68/EC should be adapted accordingly and general type-approval requirements for stages IIIB and IV should be introduced. (3) Annex II to Directive 97/68/EC specifies the technical details of the information documents that need to be submitted by the manufacturer to the type-approval authority with the application for engine type-approval. The details specified regarding the additional anti- pollution devices are generic and should be adapted to the specific after-treatment systems that need to be used to ensure that engines comply with exhaust emission limit stages IIIB and IV. More detailed information on the after-treatment devices installed on the engines should be submitted to enable type-approval authorities to assess the engine’s capability to comply with stages IIIB and IV.(4) Annex III to Directive 97/68/EC sets out the methodtesting the engines and determining their level of emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants. The type-approval testing procedure of engines to demon strate compliance with the exhaust emission limits of stage IIIB and IV should ensure that the simultaneous compliance with the gaseous (carbon monoxide, hydro carbons, oxides of nitrogen) and the particulate emission limits is demonstrated. The non-road steady cycle (NRSC) and non-road transient cycle (NRTC) should be adapted accordingly. (5) Point 1.3.2 of Annex III to Directive 97/68/EC foreseesthe modification of the symbols (section 2.18 of Annex I), the test sequence (Annex III) and calculation equations (Appendix III to Annex III), prior to the introduction of the cold/hot composite test sequence. The type approval procedure to demonstrate compliance with the exhaust emission limits of stage IIIB and IV requires the intro duction of a detailed description of the cold start cycle. (6) Section 3.7.1 of Annex III to Directive 97/68/EC sets out the test cycle for the different equipment specifications. The test cycle under point 3.7.1.1 (specification A) needs to be adapted to clarify which engine speed needs to be used in the type approval calculation method. It is also necessary to adapt the reference to the updated version of the international testing standard ISO 8178-4:2007.( 1 ) OJ L 59, 27.2.1998, p. 1.(7) Section 4.5 of Annex III to Directive 97/68/EC outlines the emissions test run. This section needs to be adapted to take account of the cold start cycle. (8) Appendix 3 of Annex III to Directive 97/68/EC sets out the criteria for the data evaluation and calculation of the gaseous emissions and the particulate emissions, for both the NRSC test and the NRTC test set out in Annex III. The type approval of engines in accordance with stage IIIB and IV requires the adaptation of the calculation method for the NRTC test. (9) Annex XIII to Directive 97/68/EC sets out the provisions for engines placed on the market under a ‘flexible scheme’. To ensure a smooth implementation of stage IIIB, an increased use of this flexibility scheme may be needed. Therefore, the adaptation to technical progress to enable the introduction of stage IIIB compliant engines needs to be accompanied by measures to avoid that the use of the flexibility scheme may be hampered by notifi cation requirements which are no longer adapted to the introduction of such engines. The measures should aim at simplifying the notification requirements and the reporting obligations, and at making them more focused and tailored to the need for market surveillance authorities to respond to the increased use of the flexi bility scheme that will result from the introduction of stage IIIB. (10) Since Directive 97/68/EC provides for the type-approval of stage IIIB engines (category L) as from 1 January 2010 it is necessary to provide for the possibility to grant type approval from that date. (11) For reasons of legal certainty this Directive should enter into force as a matter of urgency. (12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee estab lished in Article 15(1) of Directive 97/68/EC, HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: Article 1 Amendments to Directive 97/68/EC Directive 97/68/EC is amended as follows: 1. in Article 9a(7), the following subparagraph is added: ‘Notwithstanding the first subparagraph, an extension of the derogation period is granted until 31 July 2013, within the category of top handle machines, for professional use, multi- positional, hand-held hedge trimmers and top handle tree service chainsaws in which engines of classes SH:2 and SH:3 are installed.’;2.

TYPEAPPROVALREQUIREMENTS8.1. This section shall apply to the type-approval of electronically controlled engines, which uses electronic control todetermine both the quantity and timing of injecting fuel (hereafter “engine”). This section shall apply irrespective of the technology applied to such engines to comply with the emission limit values set out in sections 4.1.2.5 and 4.1.2.6 of this Annex.8.2. DefinitionsFor the purpose of this section, the following definitions shall apply:8.2.1. “emission control strategy” means a combination of an emission control system with one base emission controlstrategy and with one set of auxiliary emission control strategies, incorporated into the overall design of an engine or non-road mobile machinery into which the engine is installed.8.2.2. “reagent” means any consumable or non-recoverable medium required and used for the effective operation of theexhaust after-treatment system.8.3. Generalrequirements8.3.1. Requirements for base emission control strategy8.3.1.1. The base emission control strategy, activated throughout the speed and torque operating range of the engine,shall be designed as to enable the engine to comply with the provisions of this Directive8.3.1.2. Any base emission control strategy that can distinguish engine operation between a standardised type approvaltest and other operating conditions and subsequently reduce the level of emission control when not operating under conditions substantially included in the type approval procedure is prohibited.8.3.2. Requirements for auxiliary emission control strategy8.3.2.1. An auxiliary emission control strategy may be used by an engine or a non-road mobile machine, provided thatthe auxiliary emission control strategy, when activated, modifies the base emission control strategy in response toa specific set of ambient and/or operating conditions but does not permanently reduce the effectiveness of theemission control system:(a) where the auxiliary emission control strategy is activated during the type approval test, sections 8.3.2.2 and8.3.2.3 shall not apply;(b) where the auxiliary emission control strategy is not activated during the type approval test, it must bedemonstrated that the auxiliary emission control strategy is active only for as long as required for thepurposes identified in section 8.3.2.3.8.3.2.2. The control conditions applicable to this section are all of the following:(a) an altitude not exceeding 1 000 metres (or equivalent atmospheric pressure of 90 kPa);(b) an ambient temperature within the range 275 K to 303 K (2 °C to 30 °C);(c) the engine coolant temperature above 343 K (70 °C).Where the auxiliary emission control strategy is activated when the engine is operating within the control conditions set out in points (a), (b) and (c), the strategy shall only be activated exceptionally.8.3.2.3. An auxiliary emission control strategy may be activated in particular for the following purposes:(a) by onboard signals, for protecting the engine (including air-handling device protection) and/or non-roadmobile machine into which the engine is installed from damage;(b) for operational safety and strategies;(c) for prevention of excessive emissions, during cold start or warming-up, during shut-down;(d) if used to trade-off the control of one regulated pollutant under specific ambient or operating conditions, formaintaining control of all other regulated pollutants, within the emission limit values that are appropriate forthe engine concerned. The purpose is to compensate for naturally occurring phenomena in a manner thatprovides acceptable control of all emission constituents.8.3.2.4. The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the technical service at the time of the type-approval test that theoperation of any auxiliary emission strategy complies with the provisions of section 8.3.2.

3 新一代移动通信终端的欧盟市场准入制度欧盟是一个集政治实体和经济实体于一身、在世界上具有重要影响的区域一体化组织,现有27个成员国,人口5亿,GDP14.5万亿美元。
作为世界上最大的资本输出国和商品与服务出口国,其相对宽容的对外技术交流与发展合作政策,对世界其他地区的经济发展特别是包括中国在内的发展中国家至关重要。
欧洲大市场的建立,使欧盟的市场准入制度变得规范和透明,其技术措施和认证体系具有标志性和领导地位,被许多贸易国认可和仿效。
3.1欧盟移动通信终端立法概述欧盟的技术立法分为四种形式:指令Directive、法规Regulation、决议Decision和建议Recommendation。
指令是指欧盟议会有关产品基本要求、检验和合格评定程序方面的法律条文,具有普遍适应性和约束力,在规定期限内,成员国将其转化为本国法律并执行;法规是欧盟议会针对特定物质颁布的法律条文,不需要转化而直接适用。
决定具有一定的约束能力,其影响范围较小。
建议作为立法程序的一个环节,基本无约束力。
3.1.1欧盟新方法体系为了加快欧盟统一市场的建立,及时规范和协调成员国之间的法规和技术标准,1985年 1 月31 日,欧共体委员会向理事会提出关于技术协调和标准化新方法的建议,同年5月7日欧共体理事会通过了《技术协调和标准化新方法决议》,提出了协调工业产品国家法规的新框架。
其基本思路是通过建立灵活和技术中性的新方法指令,推动创新和竞争,将各国的法规差异协调到共同体水平。
根据新方法决议,除食品、药品、化学品、化妆品和机动车辆等沿用旧的立法体制外,其他消费产品都将启用新方法立法。
“新方法”在商品自由流通的法律框架内分清了欧盟立法机构和欧洲标准化组织之间的职责。
欧盟指令规定的是“基本要求”(Essentialrequirement),即商品在投放市场时必须满足的保障健康和安全的基本要求。
欧洲标准化组织的任务是制定符合指令基本要求的相应的技术规范,即“协调标准”(Har monized European Standards)。
欧洲议会和欧盟理事会第2005/32/EC 号指令2005 年7 月6 日为规定耗能产品的生态设计要求建立框架并修订第92/42/EEC 号和第96/57/EC 号理事会指令与欧洲议会和欧盟理事会第2000/55/EC 号指令欧洲议会和欧盟理事会注意到《建立欧洲欧共体条约》,尤其是其中第95 条,注意到欧盟委员会的提议,注意到欧洲经济与社会委员会的意见1执行《条约》第251条规定的程序2,鉴于:注:1OJ C 112, 30.4.2004, 第25 页。
2.欧洲议会2004 年4 月20 日意见(OJ C 104 E, 30.4.2004,第319 页),理事会2004 年11 月29 日共同立场(OJ C 38E, 15.2.2005, 第45 页),欧洲议会2005 年4 月13 日立场和理事会2005 年5 月23 日决定。
(1) 各成员国实施的与耗能产品生态设计相关的法律或行政措施不一致会产生贸易壁垒并扭曲共同体内的竞争,或许因而对内部市场的建立及其作用产生直接影响。
各国法律的协调一致是防止此类贸易壁垒和不公平竞争的唯一途径。
(2) 耗能产品(EuPs)在共同体自然资源和能源消耗中占有很大比例。
它们对环境也有其他许多重要的影响。
就共同体市场可获得的大部分种类产品而言,尽管它们功能相似,但可以发现其对环境的影响程度截然不同。
为了可持续发展,应鼓励主要通过对环境负面影响主要来源的确定和避免污染转移的方式,持续改善那些产品对环境的总体影响,只要这种改善不会产生过多的费用。
(3) 产品的生态设计是共同体一体化产品政策战略的一个至关重要的因素。
作为一种预防性的措施,它在保持产品功能质量的同时,通过设计使产品环境性能最大化,为制造商、消费者和社会整体提供了真正的全新机会。
(4) 能效的提高—连同供选方案之一,使电力的最终用途更为有效—被认为对共同体达到控制温室气体排放目标做出了实质性贡献。
电力需求是发展最快的一种能源最终用途,计划在未来20-30 年得到不断发展,如果没有任何政策行为来抑制这种趋势的话。
I(Legislative acts)DIRECTIVESDIRECTIVE 2010/30/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCILof 19 May 2010on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy andother resources by energy-related products(recast)(Text with EEA relevance)THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the EuropeanUnion, and in particular Article 194(2) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee ( 1 ),After having consulted the Committee of the Regions,Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure ( 2 ),Whereas:(1) Council Directive 92/75/EEC of 22 September 1992 onthe indication by labelling and standard productinformation of the consumption of energy and otherresources by household appliances ( 3 ) has beensubstantially amended ( 4 ). Since further amendmentshave to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.(2) The scope of Directive 92/75/EEC is restricted tohousehold appliances. The Commission Communication of 16 July 2008 on the Sustainable Consumption and Production and Sustainable Industrial Policy Action Plan has shown that the extension of the scope of Directive 92/75/EEC to energy-related products which have a significant direct or indirect impact on energy consumption during use could reinforce potential synergies between existing legislative measures, and in particular Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 estab lishing a framework for the setting of ecodesignrequirements for energy related products ( 5 ). ThisDirective should not prejudice the application of Directive 2009/125/EC. Together with that Directive and other Union instruments, this Directive forms part of a broader legal framework and, in the context of a holistic approach, brings about additional energy savings and environmental gains.(3)The Presidency conclusions of the European Council of 8 and 9 March 2007 emphasised the need to increase energy efficiency in the Union so as to achieve the objective of saving 20 % of the Union’s energy consumption by 2020, set targets for the EU-wide devel opment of renewable energies and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and called for a thorough and rapid implementation of the key areas identified in the Commission Communication of 19 October 2006 entitled ‘Action Plan for Energy Efficiency: Realising the Potential’. The action plan highlighted the enormous energy savings opportunities in the products sector.(4) Improving the efficiency of energy-related productsthrough informed consumer choice benefits the EUeconomy overall.( 1 ) OJ C 228, 22.9.2009, p. 90.( 2 ) Position of the European Parliament of 5 May 2009 (not yet published in the Official Journal), position of the Council at first reading of 14 April 2010 (not yet published in the Official Journal), position of the European Parliament of 18 May 2010 (not yet published in the Official Journal). ( 3 ) OJ L 297, 13.10.1992, p. 16. ( 4 ) See Annex I Part A.( 5 ) OJ L 285, 31.10.2009, p. 10.(5) The provision of accurate, relevant and comparableinformation on the specific energy consumption ofenergy-related products should influence the end-user’s choice in favour of those products which consume or indirectly result in consuming less energy and other essential resources during use, thus prompting manu facturers to take steps to reduce the consumption of energy and other essential resources of the products which they manufacture. It should also, indirectly, encourage the efficient use of these products in order to contribute to the EU’s 20 % energy efficiency target. In the absence of this information, the operation of market forces alone will fail to promote the rational use of energy and other essential resources for these products.(6) Itshould be recalled that Union and national legislation exists which gives certain rights to consumers withrespect to purchased products, including compensation or exchange of the product.(7) The Commission should provide a priority list of energy-related products that could be covered by a delegated actunder this Directive. Such a list could be included in the Working Plan referred to in Directive 2009/125/EC.(8)Information plays a key role in the operation of market forces and it is therefore necessary to introduce a uniform label for all products of the same type, to provide potential purchasers with supplementary stan dardised information on those products’ costs in terms of energy and the consumption of other essential resources and to take measures to ensure that potential end-users who do not see the product displayed, and thus have no opportunity to see the label, are also supplied with this information. In order to be efficient and successful, the label should be easily recognisable to end-users, simple and concise. To this end the existing layout of the label should be retained as the basis to inform end-users about the energy efficiency of products. Energy consumption of and other information concerning the products should be measured in accordance with harmonised standards and methods.(9) Aspointed out in the Commission’s Impact Assessment accompanying its proposal for this Directive, the energy labelling scheme has been followed as a model in different countries around the world.(10) Member States should regularly monitor compliance withthis Directive, and include the relevant information in thereport that they are obliged to submit every four years to the Commission under this Directive, with special regard to the responsibilities of suppliers and dealers.(11) Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the EuropeanParliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 settingout the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products ( 1 ) contains general provisions on market surveillance relating to the marketing of products. In order to achieve its aims, this Directive provides for more detailed provisions in this respect. Those provisions are consistent with Regulation (EC) No 765/2008.(12) A completely voluntary scheme would lead to only someproducts being labelled, or supplied with standard product information, with the risk that this might result in confusion or even misinformation for some end-users. The present scheme should therefore ensure that for all the products concerned, the consumption of energy and other essential resources is indicated by labelling and standard product fiches.(13) Energy-relatedproducts have a direct or indirect impact on the consumption of a wide variety of forms of energy during use, electricity and gas being the most important. This Directive should therefore cover energy-related products having a direct or indirect impact on the consumption of any form of energy during use.(14) Energy-relatedproducts which have a significant direct or indirect impact on consumption of energy or, whererelevant, of essential resources during use and which afford adequate scope for increased efficiency should be covered by a delegated act, when provision of information through labelling may stimulate end-users to purchase more efficient products.(15) In order to meet the Union climate change and energysecurity objectives, and given that the total energyconsumed by products is expected to continue to rise in the longer term, the delegated acts under this Directive could, where relevant, also highlight on the label the high total energy consumption of the product.(16) A number of Member States have public procurementpolicies in place which require contracting authorities to procure energy efficient products. A number of Member States also have put in place incentives for energy efficient products. The criteria for products to be eligible for public procurement or incentives can substantially differ from one Member State to another. To refer to performance classes as levels for particular products, as set out in delegated acts under this Directive, may reduce fragmentation of public procurement and incentives and facilitate the uptake of efficient products.( 1 ) OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, p. 30.(17) Incentives which Member States may provide for thepromotion of efficient products might constitute Stateaid. This Directive does not prejudice the outcome ofany future State aid procedure that may be undertakenin accordance with Articles 107 and 108 of the Treatyon the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) inrespect of such incentives and should not covertaxation and fiscal matters. Member States are free todecide on the nature of such incentives.(18) The promotion of energy efficient products throughlabelling, public procurement and incentives should notbe to the detriment of the overall environmentalperformance and the functioning of such products.(19) The Commission should be empowered to adoptdelegated acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU inrespect of labelling and standard product information ofthe consumption of energy and other essential resourcesby energy-related products during use. It is of particularimportance that the Commission carry out appropriateconsultations during its preparatory work, including atexpert level.(20) The Commission should regularly submit to theEuropean Parliament and the Council a synthesis,covering the EU and each Member State separately, ofthe reports on enforcement activities and the level ofcompliance submitted by Member States under thisDirective.(21) The Commission should be responsible for adapting thelabel classifications with the aim of ensuring predictability for the industry and comprehension for consumers.(22)To a varying extent according to the product concerned,technological development and the potential for additional significant energy savings could make furtherproduct differentiation necessary and justify a review ofthe classification. Such review should include inparticular the possibility of rescaling. This reviewshould be carried out as expeditiously as possible inthe case of products which, due to their very innovativecharacteristics, can make a significant contribution toenergy efficiency.(23) When the Commission reviews progress and reports onthe implementation of the Sustainable Consumption andProduction and Sustainable Industrial Policy Action Planin 2012, it will in particular analyse whether furtheraction to improve the energy and environmentalperformance of products is needed, including, inter aliathe possibility to provide consumers with information onthe carbon footprint of products or the products’ environmental impact during their life cycle.(24) The obligation to transpose this Directive into nationallaw should be confined to those provisions whichrepresent a substantive change as compared withDirective 92/75/EEC. The obligation to transpose theprovisions which are unchanged arises under theDirective 92/75/EEC.(25) When Member States implement the provisions of thisDirective, they should endeavour to refrain fromadopting measures that could impose unnecessarilybureaucratic and unwieldy obligations on the marketparticipants concerned, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises.(26) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limitsfor transposition into national law and application ofDirective 92/75/EEC.(27) In accordance with point 34 of the InterinstitutionalAgreement on better law-making (1), Member States areencouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interestof the Union, their own tables illustrating, as far aspossible, the correlation between this Directive and thetransposition measures, and to make them public,HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:Article 1Scope1. This Directive establishes a framework for the harmonisation of national measures on end-user information, particularly by means of labelling and standard product information, on the consumption of energy and where relevant of other essential resources during use, and supplementary information concerning energy-related products, thereby allowing end-users to choose more efficient products.2. ThisDirectiveshallapplytoenergy-relatedproductswhich have a significant direct or indirect impact on the consumption of energy and, where relevant, on other essential resources during use.3. This Directive shall not apply to:(a) second-hand products;(b) any means of transport for persons or goods;(c) the rating plate or its equivalent affixed for safety purposesto products.(1) OJ C 321, 31.12.2003, p. 1.Article 2DefinitionsFor the purpose of this Directive:(a) ‘energy-related product’ or ‘product’ means any good havingan impact on energy consumption during use, which is placed on the market and/or put into service in the Union, including parts intended to be incorporated into energy-related products covered by this Directive which are placed on the market and/or put into service as individual parts for end-users and of which the environmental performance can be assessed independently;(b) ‘fiche’ means a standard table of information relating to aproduct;(c) ‘other essential resources’ means water, chemicals or anyother substance consumed by a product in normal use;(d) ‘supplementary information’ means other informationconcerning the performance and features of a product which relate to, or are helpful in evaluating, its use of energy or other essential resources based on measurable data;(e) ‘direct impact’ means the impact of products that actuallyconsume energy during use;(f) ‘indirect impact’ means the impact of products that do notconsume energy, but contribute to energy conservation during use;(g) ‘dealer’ means a retailer or other person who sells, hires,offers for hire-purchase or displays products to end-users;(h) ‘supplier’ means the manufacturer or its authorised representative in the Union or the importer who places or puts into service the product on the Union market. In their absence, any natural or legal person who places on the market or puts into service products covered by this Directive shall be considered a supplier;(i) ‘placing on the market’ means making a product availablefor the first time on the Union market with a view to its distribution or use within the Union, whether for reward or free of charge and irrespective of the selling technique;(j) ‘putting into service’ means the first use of a product for its intended purpose in the Union; (k) ‘unauthorised use of the label’ means the use of the label, other than by Member State authorities or EU institutions, in a manner not provided for in this Directive or a delegated act.Article 3Responsibilities of Member States1. Member States shall ensure that:(a) all suppliers and dealers established in their territory fulfilthe obligations laid down in Articles 5 and 6;(b) with respect to products covered by this Directive, thedisplay of other labels, marks, symbols or inscriptions which do not comply with the requirements of this Directive and of the relevant delegated acts is prohibited, if such display is likely to mislead or confuse end-users with respect to the consumption of energy or, where relevant, other essential resources during use;(c) the introduction of the system of labels and fichesconcerning energy consumption or conservation is accompanied by educational and promotional information campaigns aimed at promoting energy efficiency and more responsible use of energy by end-users;(d) appropriate measures are taken in order to encourage therelevant national or regional authorities responsible for implementing this Directive to cooperate and provide each other and the Commission with information in order to assist the application of this Directive. The administrative cooperation and exchange of information shall take the utmost advantage of electronic means of communication, shall be cost-effective and may be supported by relevant EU programmes. Such cooperation shall guarantee the security and confidentiality of processing and the protection of sensitive information provided during that procedure, where necessary. The Commission shall take appropriate measures in order to encourage and contribute to the cooperation between Member States referred to in this point.2. Where a Member State ascertains that a product does not comply with all the relevant requirements set out in this Directive and its delegated acts for the label and the fiche, the supplier shall be obliged to make the product compliant with those requirements under effective and proportionate conditions imposed by the Member State.Where there is sufficient evidence that a product may be non- compliant, the Member State concerned shall take the necessary preventive measures and measures aimed at ensuring compliance within a precise time-frame, taking into account the damage caused.Where non-compliance continues, the Member State concerned shall take a decision restricting or prohibiting the placing on the market and/or putting into service of the product in question or ensuring that it is withdrawn from the market. In cases of withdrawal of the product from the market or prohibition on placing the product on the market, the Commission and the other Member States shall be immediately informed.3. Every four years, the Member States shall submit a report to the Commission including details about their enforcement activities and the level of compliance in their territory.The Commission may specify the details of the common content of these reports, through the setting of guidelines.4. The Commission shall regularly provide a synthesis of those reports to the European Parliament and the Council for information.Article 4Information requirementsMember States shall ensure that:(a) information relating to the consumption of electric energy,other forms of energy and where relevant other essential resources during use, and supplementary information is, in accordance with delegated acts under this Directive, broughtto the attention of end-users by means of a fiche and a labelrelated to products offered for sale, hire, hire-purchase or displayed to end-users directly or indirectly by any means ofdistance selling, including the Internet;(b) the information referred to in point (a) is provided inrespect of built-in or installed products only where required by the applicable delegated act;(c) any advertisement for a specific model of energy-relatedproducts covered by a delegated act under this Directive includes, where energy-related or price information is disclosed, a reference to the energy efficiency class of the product;(d) any technical promotional material concerning energy-related products which describes the specific technical parameters of a product, namely, technical manuals and manufacturers’ brochures, whether printed or online, is provided to end-users with the necessary information regarding energy consumption or shall include a reference to the energy efficiency class of the product.Article 5Responsibilities of suppliersMember States shall ensure that:(a) suppliers placing on the market or putting into serviceproducts covered by a delegated act supply a label and a fiche in accordance with this Directive and the delegated act;(b) suppliers produce technical documentation which issufficient to enable the accuracy of the information contained in the label and the fiche to be assessed. That technical documentation shall include:(i) a general description of the product;(ii) where relevant, the results of design calculations carried out;(iii) test reports, where available, including those carried out by relevant notified organisations as defined underother Union legislation;(iv) where values are used for similar models, the references allowing identification of those models.To this end suppliers may use documentation already established in accordance with requirements laid down in relevant Union legislation;(c) suppliers make the technical documentation available forinspection purposes for a period ending five years after the last product concerned was manufactured.Suppliers make available an electronic version of the technical documentation on request to the market surveillance authorities of the Member States and to the Commission within 10 working days on receipt of a request by the competent authority of a Member State or the Commission;(d) in respect of labelling and product information, suppliersprovide the necessary labels free of charge to dealers.Without prejudice to the suppliers’ choice of system for delivery of labels, suppliers promptly deliver labels on request from dealers;(e) in addition to the labels, suppliers provide a product fiche;(f) suppliers include a product fiche in all product brochures.Where product brochures are not provided by the supplier, the supplier provides fiches with other literature provided with the product;(g) suppliers are responsible for the accuracy of the labels andfiches that they supply;(h) suppliers are considered to have given consent to the publication of the information provided on the label or in the fiche.Article 6Responsibilities of dealersMember States shall ensure that:(a) dealers display labels properly, in a visible and legiblemanner, and make the fiche available in the product brochure or other literature that accompanies products when sold to end-users;(b) whenever a product covered by a delegated act is displayed,dealers attach an appropriate label, in the clearly visible position specified in the applicable delegated act, and in the relevant language version.Article 7Distance selling and other forms of sellingWhere products are offered for sale, hire or hire-purchase by mail order, by catalogue, through the Internet, telemarketing or by any other means which imply that the potential end-user cannot be expected to see the product displayed, delegated acts shall make provision to ensure that potential end-users are provided with the information specified on the label for the product and in the fiche before buying the product. Delegated acts shall, where appropriate, specify the way in which the label or the fiche or the information specified on the label or in the fiche shall be displayed or provided to the potential end-user.Article 8Free movement1. Member States shall not prohibit, restrict or impede the placing on the market or putting into service, within their territories, of products which are covered by and comply with this Directive and the applicable delegated act.2. Unless they have evidence to the contrary, Member States shall consider labels and fiches as complying with the provisions of this Directive and the delegated acts. Member States shall require suppliers to provide evidence within the meaning of Article 5 concerning the accuracy of the information supplied on their labels or fiches when they have reason to suspect that such information is incorrect.Article 9Public procurement and incentives1. Whereaproductiscoveredbyadelegatedact,contracting authorities which conclude public works, supply or service contracts as referred to in Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts (1), which are not excluded by virtue of Articles 12 to 18 thereof, shall endeavour to procure only such products which comply with the criteria of having the highest performance levels and belonging to the highest energy efficiency class. Member States may also require the contracting authorities to procure only products fulfilling those criteria. Member States may make the application of those criteria subject to cost-effectiveness, economical feasibility and technical suitability and sufficient competition.2. Paragraph 1 shall apply to contracts having a value equal to or greater than the thresholds laid down in Article 7 of Directive 2004/18/EC.3. Where Member States provide any incentives for a product covered by a delegated act they shall aim at the highest performance levels including the highest class of energy efficiency laid down in the applicable delegated act. Taxation and fiscal measures do not constitute incentives for the purpose of this Directive.4. Where Member States provide incentives for products, both for end-users using highly efficient products and for industries which promote and produce such products, they shall express the performance levels in terms of classes as defined in the applicable delegated act, except where they impose higher performance levels than the threshold for the highest energy efficiency class in the delegated act. Member States may impose higher performance levels than the threshold for the highest energy efficiency class in the delegated act.Article 10Delegated acts1. The Commission shall lay down details relating to the label and the fiche by means of delegated acts in accordance with Articles 11 to 13, relating to each type of product in accordance with this Article.(1) OJ L 134, 30.4.2004, p. 114.Where a product meets the criteria listed in paragraph 2, it shall be covered by a delegated act in accordance with paragraph 4.Provisions in delegated acts regarding information provided on the label and in the fiche on the consumption of energy and other essential resources during use shall enable end-users to make better informed purchasing decisions and shall enable market surveillance authorities to verify whether products comply with the information provided.Where a delegated act lays down provisions with respect to both energy efficiency and consumption of essential resources of a product, the design and content of the label shall emphasise the energy efficiency of the product.2. The criteria referred to in paragraph 1 are the following:(a) according to most recently available figures and consideringthe quantities placed on the Union market, the products shall have a significant potential for saving energy and, where relevant, other essential resources;(b) products with equivalent functionality available on themarket shall have a wide disparity in the relevant performance levels;(c) the Commission shall take into account relevant Unionlegislation and self-regulation, such as voluntary agreements, which are expected to achieve the policy objectives more quickly or at lesser expense than mandatory requirements.3. In preparing a draft delegated act, the Commission shall:(a) take into account those environmental parameters set out inAnnex I, Part 1, to Directive 2009/125/EC which are identified as significant in the relevant implementing measure adopted under Directive 2009/125/EC and which are relevant for the end-user during use;(b) assess the impact of the act on the environment, end-usersand manufacturers, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in terms of competitiveness including on markets outside the Union, innovation, market access and costs and benefits;(c) carry out appropriate consultation with stakeholders;(d) set implementing date(s), any staged or transitionalmeasures or periods, taking into account in particular possible impacts on SMEs or on specific product groups manufactured primarily by SMEs.4. The delegated acts shall specify in particular: (a) the exact definition of the type of products to be included;(b) the measurement standards and methods to be used inobtaining the information referred to in Article 1(1);(c) the details of the technical documentation required pursuantto Article 5;(d) the design and content of the label referred to in Article 4,which as far as possible shall have uniform design characteristics across product groups and shall in all cases be clearly visible and legible. The format of the label shall retain as a basis the classification using letters from A to G; the steps of the classification shall correspond to significant energy and cost savings from the end-user perspective.Three additional classes may be added to the classification if required by technological progress. Those additional classes will be A+, A++, and A+++ for the most efficient class. In principle the total number of classes will be limited to seven, unless more classes are still populated.The colour scale shall consist of no more than seven different colours from dark green to red. The colour code of only the highest class shall always be dark green. If there are more than seven classes, only the red colour can be duplicated.The classification shall be reviewed in particular when a significant proportion of products on the internal market achieves the two highest energy efficiency classes and when additional savings may be achieved by further differentiating products.Detailed criteria for a possible reclassification of products are, where appropriate, to be determined on a case-by-case basis in the relevant delegated act;(e) the location where the label shall be fixed to the productdisplayed and the manner in which the label and/or information are to be provided in the case of offers for sale as covered by Article 7. Where appropriate, the delegated acts may provide for the label to be attached to the product or printed on the packaging, or for the details of the labelling requirements for printing in catalogues, for distance selling and Internet sales;(f) the content and, where appropriate, the format and otherdetails concerning the fiche or further information specified in Article 4 and Article 5(c). The information on the label shall also be included on the fiche;。
