2002/31/EC - Commission Directive 2002/31/EC - Implementation of Coucil Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household air-conditioners
Commission Directive 2002/31/EC implements Council Directive 92/75/EEC to establish energy labelling requirements for household air-conditioners powered by electric mains. It mandates uniform energy consumption information and efficiency classifications based on harmonised standards, primarily impacting appliances with cooling capacities up to 12 kW, excluding units using multiple energy sources or water-based heat exchange. The Directive specifies that labels must display supplier details, model identifiers, energy efficiency classes (rated from A to G), indicative annual energy consumption, cooling and heating outputs, energy efficiency ratios, and noise emissions where applicable. It also requires detailed technical documentation and information fiches to accompany products and any sales communications, including printed material and electronic media. These measures aim to inform consumers and promote energy efficiency, reflecting the significant household energy demand attributed to air-conditioners. Member States were required to implement this Directive by 1 January 2003, with a transition period allowing non-conforming products until 30 June 2003. The Directive enhances transparency, supports energy saving objectives, and aligns product information with standardized test procedures and classifications.
Purpose
Commission Directive 2002/31/EC implements Council Directive 92/75/EEC specifically regarding the energy labelling of household air-conditioners. Its primary aim is to provide clear, harmonised information on the energy consumption and other relevant characteristics of household air-conditioning appliances within the European Economic Area (EEA). This enables consumers to make informed choices based on energy efficiency, contributing to reduced electricity demand and related environmental impacts. The Directive aligns with existing standards and directives related to household appliances and noise emissions and supports the broader objectives of energy savings in domestic use.
Key obligations
Scope of application: The Directive applies to electric mains-operated household air-conditioners as defined in relevant European standards (EN 255-1, EN 814-1) and harmonised standards adopted under Directive 98/34/EC. It excludes appliances using other energy sources, air-to-water and water-to-water types, and units with cooling power exceeding 12 kW.

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 2002/31/EC covers "Commission Directive 2002/31/EC - Implementation of Coucil Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household air-conditioners". There are 22 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 2002/31/EC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2002/31/EC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
