Full details of how the project selects products for laboratory testing, to investigate possible energy efficiency related  circumvention issues

European legislation on ecodesign and  energy labelling makes an important contribution to achieving climate protection goals. However, their effect is endangered if manufacturers fail to comply with legal requirements or deliberately circumvent prescribed test procedures. Kathrin Graulich from the Oeko-Institut, coordinator of ANTICSS, explains the project efforts to undercover the tricks used by manufacturers of electrical appliances to circumvent minimum requirements and measurement standards in the  field of ecodesign and energy labelling.
