Schedule I

Based on Annex I of the Directive METHOD FOR SETTING GENERIC ECODESIGN REQUIREMENTS (Referred to in regulations 4 and 9)

ecodesign requirements aim at improving the environmental performance focusing on significant environmental aspects thereof without setting The method referred to in this Schedule must be applied when it is not to set limit values for the product group under examination. The must, when preparing a draft implementing measure to be submitted to referred to in Article 19(1) of the Directive, identify significant aspects which must be specified in the implementing measure.

implementing measures laying down generic ecodesign requirements Article 15 of the Directive and Schedule I, the Commission must appropriate to the product covered by the implementing measure, the ecodesign parameters from among those listed in Part 1, the information requirements from among those listed in Part 2 and the requirements for the listed in Part 3. Ecodesign parameters for energy-using products far as they relate to product design, significant environmental aspects identified with reference to the following phases of the lifecycle of the raw material selection and use; manufacturing; packaging, transport, and distribution; installation and maintenance; and end of life, meaning the state of a product having reached the end of its first use until its final disposal. each phase, the following environmental aspects must be assessed where predicted consumption of materials, of energy and of other resources such as fresh water; anticipated emissions to air, water or soil; anticipated pollution through physical effects such as noise, vibration, radiation, electromagnetic fields; expected generation of waste material; and possibilities for reuse, recycling and recovery of materials and/or of * energy, taking into account Directive 2002/96/EC .

particular, the following parameters must be used, as appropriate, and by others, where necessary, for evaluating the potential for improving environmental aspects referred to in point 1.2:

(a) weight and volume of the product;

(b) use of materials issued from recycling activities;

(c) consumption of energy, water and other resources throughout cycle;

(d) use of substances classified as hazardous to health environment according to Council Directive 67/548/EEC 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and provisions relating to the classification, packing and * dangerous substances and taking into account legislation marketing and use of specific substances, such as Council † 76/769/ EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation regulations and administrative provisions of the Member to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous and preparations or Directive 2002/95/EC‡;

(e) quantity and nature of consumables needed for proper maintenance;

(f) ease for reuse and recycling as expressed through: number and components used, use of standard components, time disassembly, complexity of tools necessary for disassembly, component and material coding standards for the identification components and materials suitable for reuse and recycling marking of plastic parts in accordance with ISO standards), easily recyclable materials, easy access to valuable and other components and materials; easy access to components containing hazardous substances;

(g) incorporation of used components;

(h) avoidance of technical solutions detrimental to reuse and components and whole appliances;

(i) extension of lifetime as expressed through: minimum lifetime, minimum time for availability of spare parts, upgradeability, reparability;

(j) amounts of waste generated and amounts of hazardous waste

(k) emissions to air (greenhouse gases, acidifying agents, volatile compounds, ozone depleting substances, persistent organic heavy metals, fine particulate and suspended particulate prejudice to Directive 97/68/EC of the European Parliament Council of 16th December 1997 relating to measures emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal § engines to be installed in non road mobile machinery ;

(l) emissions to water (heavy metals, substances with an adverse the oxygen balance, persistent organic pollutants); and

(m) emissions to soil (especially leakage and spills of dangerous during the use phase of the product, and the potential for its disposal as waste).

Directive as last amended by Directive 2004/26/EC (OJ 2004, p. 1). Requirements relating to the supply of information Implementing measures may require information to be supplied by the that may influence the way the product is handled, used or recycled by than the manufacturer. This information may include, where applicable: information from the designer relating to the manufacturing process; information for consumers on the significant environmental characteristics and performance of a product, accompanying the product when it is placed on the market to allow consumers to compare these aspects of the products; information for consumers on how to install, use and maintain the product in order to minimise its impact on the environment and to ensure optimal life expectancy, as well as on how to return the product end of life, and, where appropriate, information on the period of availability of spare parts and the possibilities of upgrading products; and information for treatment facilities concerning disassembly, recycling, disposal at end of life. should be given on the product itself wherever possible.

information must take into account the obligations under the other legislation, such as Directive 2002/96/EC.

Requirements for the manufacturer Addressing the environmental aspects identified in the implementing capable of being influenced in a substantial manner through product manufacturers of products must perform an assessment of the product model lifecycle, based upon realistic assumptions about normal conditions of use. Other environmental aspects may be examined on a voluntary basis of this assessment manufacturers will establish the product’s profile. It will be based on environmentally relevant product and inputs/outputs throughout the product life cycle expressed in quantities that can be measured. Manufacturers must make use of this assessment to evaluate alternative solutions and the achieved environmental performance of the product against benchmarks must be identified by the Commission in the implementing basis of information gathered during the preparation of the measure.

of a specific design solution will achieve a reasonable balance between environmental aspects and between environmental aspects and other considerations, such as safety and health, technical requirements for quality, and performance, and economic aspects, including costs and marketability, while complying with all relevant legislation. Schedule II

Based on Annex III of the Directive CE MARKING (Referred to in regulation 5)

The CE conformity marking shall consist of the initials ‘CE’ taking form:
