M/477 - Eco-design of television
Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of eco-design of television
Mandate M/477 requests CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop European standards focused on the eco-design of television sets. The goal is to establish criteria and requirements that promote energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in television products. This mandate aims to support the implementation of EU eco-design regulations by providing harmonized technical standards to assess and improve television design from an environmental perspective. The mandate reflects the European Commission’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of consumer electronics through standardized eco-design measures.
Purpose
The mandate M/477 tasks the European standardisation organisations-CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI-with developing standards related to the eco-design of televisions. The objective is to support the implementation of eco-design requirements that improve the environmental performance of television products placed on the EU market.
Standardisation request
This mandate requests the harmonised development of standards that facilitate compliance with eco-design criteria for televisions. These standards are to be prepared in collaboration with relevant stakeholders and should cover aspects such as energy consumption, material usage, and environmental impact across the product lifecycle.
Expected deliverables
The deliverables include European standards and technical specifications that:
- Define measurement methods for energy efficiency and consumption of televisions.
- Specify criteria for reducing environmental impacts during production and usage.
- Support conformity assessment and verification procedures in line with EU eco-design legislation for televisions.
Context
This mandate aligns with the EU’s broader eco-design policy aiming to improve the environmental footprint of energy-related products. It complements regulatory frameworks that require televisions placed on the EU market to meet minimum performance and sustainability requirements. The (Dis-)Approval decision recorded under CEN/BT C18/2011 formalises the commitment of CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to execute this standardisation request.
The mandate covers the standardisation of eco-design requirements for televisions, focusing on improving their environmental performance throughout the product lifecycle, including energy consumption, resource efficiency, and waste reduction. This work aims to support the implementation of EU legislation on the eco-design of televisions.

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/477 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of eco-design of television". Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of eco-design of television There are 0 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.
