The framework directive for ecodesign of energy using products (EuP) has been in force in Europe since 2005 already, but only now the process for setting eco-requirements for specific products is becoming clear. The paper explains the results of the so-called preparatory studies, which prepare the definition of eco-requirements, and the current state of the policy process.
The paper gives a short introduction to the EuP directive itself, explains the procedure leading up to implementing measures in more detail and shows the respective time lines. Then the paper exemplifies results of selected preparatory studies with respect to eco-design recommendations. Finally the focus is set on specific aspects related to application of life cycle assessment principles in conjunction with environmental policy making.
