M/341 - Eco-Design of energy
MANDATE TO CEN/CENELEC/ETSI FOR PROGRAMMING OF STANDARDIZATION WORK IN THE FIELD OF ECO-DESIGN OF ENERGY- USING PRODUCTS
Mandate M/341 assigns CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI the task of programming standardisation work related to the eco-design of energy-using products. The objective is to develop harmonised standards supporting the implementation of EU eco-design requirements, aimed at improving the environmental performance and energy efficiency of these products. This mandate enables the European Commission to coordinate the preparation of technical specifications that address energy consumption and environmental impact, facilitating compliance with regulatory frameworks and promoting sustainable product design across the internal market. The (dis-)approval decision aligns with resolution CEN/BT 24/2004.
Purpose
The mandate M/341 aims to coordinate and program standardisation activities related to the eco-design of energy-using products within the European Union. Its purpose is to support the implementation of EU policies promoting energy efficiency and environmental sustainability by facilitating the development of relevant harmonised standards.
Standardisation request
The request is directed to the European standardisation organisations CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI. It involves programming and prioritising standardisation work to create or revise standards that specify eco-design requirements for energy-using products. These standards will likely address product design, performance criteria, testing methods, and information provision to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impacts.
Expected deliverables
Although specific deliverables are not detailed in the mandate metadata, it typically includes:
- Harmonised standards related to the eco-design of various energy-consuming products.
- Technical specifications and guidelines to support compliance with EU eco-design legislation.
- Testing and measurement methods to assess product energy efficiency and environmental performance.
- Frameworks for information exchange and labelling associated with energy-using products.
Context
This mandate was issued by the European Commission and approved by CEN/BT resolution 24/2004. It reflects the EU’s strategy to implement the Eco-Design Directive (2005/32/EC) aimed at improving the environmental performance of energy-using products through design requirements. The coordinated standardisation work supports regulatory measures by providing technical means for manufacturers and market surveillance authorities to ensure conformity and promote energy savings across the EU single market.
The mandate covers the programming of standardization work related to the eco-design of energy-using products. It focuses on establishing standards that enhance the environmental performance and energy efficiency of these products throughout their lifecycle.
General Information
This document provides basic requirements for hydraulic part-turn valve actuators, both double acting and

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/341 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "MANDATE TO CEN/CENELEC/ETSI FOR PROGRAMMING OF STANDARDIZATION WORK IN THE FIELD OF ECO-DESIGN OF ENERGY- USING PRODUCTS". MANDATE TO CEN/CENELEC/ETSI FOR PROGRAMMING OF STANDARDIZATION WORK IN THE FIELD OF ECO-DESIGN OF ENERGY- USING PRODUCTS There are 6 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
