Updates on Environmental Regulations in Eastern Europe: May 2021 Status

Eurasian regulation for energy efficiency postponed.

The Eurasian Economic Union’s Technical Regulation EAEU TR 048/2019 concerning “Requirements for the energy efficiency of energy-consuming devices» has been decided postponed for at least one year. The presently indicated date of implementation 1st of September 2022.

Actually, postponement for as much as 3 years is being considered in order for all parties concerned to be prepared for meeting the various requirements that are involved.

Annex 17 of the regulation which covers Computers & Servers, may be seen here (in Russian). This is apparently based on European Union’s ErP No.617/2013 Tier 2 Computer Regulation. But due to postponement it may possibly change before being implemented.

Ukraine planning to implement energy labelling

Ukraine is preparing to implement European Union’s Ecodesign requirements for several types of electrical equipment, and to adapt energy label requirements similar to those in the EU for the following types of products:

Household dishwashers
Household refrigerating appliances
Household washing machines and tumble dryers
Televisions
Air conditioners
Electrical lamps and luminaires
