FQC Standard

Ecodesign and Energy Labelling

Applicable product measures

Identify the product group, capacity, use and market. For energy-related products, review measures under 2009/125/EC and their transitional provisions. ESPR requirements are introduced through phased product measures; framework and product-specific application dates are distinct.

Measurement and documentation plan

  • Where applicable: energy consumption, standby/off modes, efficiency and operating points.
  • Consistency between measurement conditions, sample model, calculation method and product information.
  • Repairability, spare parts, resource efficiency or product passport information only where required by the relevant measure.

Energy labels and EPREL

The energy labelling framework is (EU) 2017/1369; labels and product information sheets depend on the product measure. EPREL registration is assessed for covered products. Label scales and registration duties do not apply automatically to all electrical products. Test results, labels and declared values must identify the same model.

Application scope

Send the product group, data sheet, target country, sale date and existing tests. Specify the product measure, measurements and documentation covered. FQC’s number 2674 is not blanket notified body authorisation for all ecodesign activities.

Report scope and quotation

Sample, method, standard edition and report scope are agreed before testing. Results apply to the identified sample and conditions. The testing laboratory and any required accreditation scope are confirmed in the quotation; this page does not imply that every test is performed in-house by FQC under accreditation.

Frequently asked questions

What should I prepare for an enquiry?

State the model, material/components, target market and requested tests. Agree sample count, method, standard edition, laboratory and any required accreditation scope before work.

How can I check accreditation or authorisation scope?

Use the TÜRKAK and NANDO links on the corporate scope page to check the body, product and procedure together. A body number does not mean every listed service or test is accredited under the same scope.
