THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Directive 2009/125/EC of the Eu ropean Parliament and of the Council of 21 
October 2009 establishing a framework for th e setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-
related products
1, and in particular Article 15(1) thereof, 
After consulting the Consultation Forum referred to in Article 18 of the Directive 
2009/125/EC, 
Whereas: (1)
 Directive 2009/125/EC requires the Commi ssion to set ecodesign requirements for 
energy-related products that account for signifi cant volumes of sales and trade, have a 
significant environmental impact and pres ent significant potential for improvement 
through design in terms of th eir environmental impact, wi thout entailing excessive 
costs. 
(2) Article 16(2)(a) of Directive 2009/125/EC  provides that in accordance with the 
procedure referred to in Article 19(3) and the criteria set out in Article 15(2), and after consulting the Consultation Forum, the Comm ission has to, as appropriate, introduce 
implementing measures for products offe ring a high potential for cost-effective 
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, such as domestic appliances, including ovens, 
hobs and range hoods. 
(3)
 The Commission has carried out preparatory studies to analyse the technical, 
environmental and economic aspects of dome stic cooking appliances such as ovens, 
hobs and range hoods. These studies  involved stakeholders a nd interested parties from 
the Union and third countries, and the resu lts have been made publicly available. 
(4) The main environmental aspect of the produc ts covered that has been identified as 
significant for the purposes of this Regulati on is energy consumption in the use phase.  
(5) Standby and off-mode functions can be responsible for much of the total power 
consumption of domestic cooking app liances. For such appliances, power 
consumption of these functions is pa rt of the minimum energy performance 
requirements. Standby and off-mode requir ements for domestic ovens and hobs are set 
on the basis of the ecodesign requiremen ts of Commission Regulation (EC) No 
1275/2008 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the 
Council with regard to ecodesign require ments for standby and off mode electric 
power consumption of electrical and el ectronic household and office equipment 2. 
                                                 
1 OJ L 285, 31.10.2009, p. 10. 
2 OJ L 339, 18.12.2008, p. 45.  
EN 2   EN (6) The annual energy consumption of dome stic ovens, hobs and range hoods was 
estimated to be 755 PJ (primary energy c onsumption) in the EU in 2010. Unless 
specific measures are taken, annual energy co nsumption is predicted to be 779 PJ in 
2020. The preparatory studies show that th e energy consumption of those products can 
be significantly reduced.  
(7) In combination, the ecodesign requirements set out in this Regulation and the labelling 
requirements of Commission Delegated Regulation XXX/2013 [Numbering of the 
Commission Delegated Regulation on the ener gy labelling of domestic ovens and 
range hoods and OJ reference in footnote to  be added before publication in the OJ] , 
are expected to result  in annual primary energy savings of 27 PJ/a in 2020, increasing 
to 60 PJ/a by 2030. 
(8) The preparatory studies show that requireme nts regarding other ecodesign parameters 
referred to in Part 1, point 1,3 of Anne x I of Directive 2009/125/EC are not necessary 
as electricity and gas consumption of domes tic cooking appliances in the use phase is 
the most significant environmental aspect. 
(9) Products subject to this Re gulation should be made more  energy-efficient by applying 
existing non-proprietary cost-effective tec hnologies that can reduce the combined 
costs of purchasing and operating these products. 
(10) The ecodesign requirements should not affect functionality from the end-user’s 
perspective and should not negatively affect health, safety or the environment. In 
particular, the benefits of  reducing energy consumption during the use phase should 
more than offset any possible additional environmental impact during the production 
phase and at the time of disposal. 
(11) The ecodesign requirements should be introduced  gradually in three tiers in order to 
provide a sufficient timeframe for manufacturer s to re-design products subject to this 
Regulation. Such timeframe should avoid any negative impact on th e functionality of 
equipment already on the market and should take into account costs incurred by end-
users and manufacturers, in particular sm all and medium-sized enterprises, while 
ensuring timely achievement of the objectives of this Regulation.  
(12) The relevant product parameters should be  measured in a reliable, accurate and 
reproducible way, which takes into account recognised state-of-the-art measurement 
methods including, where available, harm onised standards adopted by the European 
standardisation bodies, as liste d in Annex I to Directive 98/34/EC of the European 
Parliament and of the Council of 22 June  1998 laying down a procedure for the 
provision of information in th e field of technical standards and regulations and of rules 
on Information Society services3. 
(13) In accordance with Article 8 of Directiv e 2009/125/EC, this Regul ation specifies the 
applicable conformity assessment procedures. 
(14) In order to facilitate compliance checks, ma nufacturers should provide information in 
the technical documentation referred to in Annexes IV and V to Directive 2009/125/EC insofar as this information relate s to the requirements laid down in this 
Regulation. 
(15)
 To ensure fair competition, and with a view to achieving the intended energy savings 
and accurately informing consumers on produc ts’ energy performance, this Regulation 
should make clear that the tolerances prescr ibed for the national market surveillance 
                                                 
3 OJ L 204, 21.7.1998, p. 37.  
EN 3   EN authorities, when conducting phys ical tests to esta blish whether a specific model of an 
energy-related product is in compliance with  this Regulation, should not be used by 
the manufacturers to provide room for declar ing a more favourable performance of the 
model than measurements and calculations de clared in the technical documentation of 
the product can justify. 
(16) In addition to the legally binding requirements  laid down in this Regulation, indicative 
benchmarks for best-performing applianc es available on the market should be 
identified to ensure wide availability and easy accessibility of information on the most 
relevant environmental aspects in the life-cycle environmen tal performance of 
products subject to this Regulation. 
(17) It is appropriate to provide for a review of  the provisions of this Regulation taking into 
account technological progress, and in pa rticular the effectiveness and the 
appropriateness of the approach followed fo r the determination of the ovens energy 
efficiency. 
(18) The measures provided for in this Regulati on are in accordance with the opinion of the 
Committee established by Article 19(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC,

Measurements and calculations 
For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the requirements of this 
Regulation, measurements and calculations sh all be made using a reliable, accurate and 
reproducible method that take into account th e generally recognised state-of-the art 
measurement and calculation methods, including harmonised standards the reference numbers 
of which have been published for the purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union . 
They shall meet the technical definitions, conditi ons, equations and parame ters set out in this 
Annex.  
1. DOMESTIC OVENS
