Are you ready for the next ErP milestone?

ErP (Energy related Products) is part of the Ecodesign regulation (EU) 2015/1188 which, along with the implementing Directive 2009/125/EC is an EU policy aimed at improving the energy efficiency and other environmental performance criteria for energy-related products (ErP), such as Radiant & warm air heaters.

For ErP, products have been divided into product groups or ‘Lots,’ with warm air heaters using gaseous or liquid fuels contained within Lot 21 & radiant heaters within Lot 20.

Key to remember is that the seasonal efficiency shown by manufacturers on websites, technical manuals & sales brochures post 2018 will be ErP seasonal efficiency.

Seasonal efficiency will be calculated differently (to include electrical power consumption).  The current minimum seasonal efficiency would be 70% for Warm Air and 71% for Radiant, if we applied this calculation to our existing Building Regulations requirements.  

ErP Lot 21 (Warm air heaters) max NOx levels comes into effect September 2018.
