Anti-circumvention of standards for better market surveillance

Circumvention products investigated

The project generally focuses on all products regulated by the EU Ecodesign and Energy label legislation: household appliances, information and communication technologies, lighting and others. The final selection of categories to be investigated in depth will be done on the basis of information gathered within the first stages of project research.

BLOG: New ways of circumventing legislation and standards uncovered

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.
