must be complied with.

The ecological criteria, as well as the related assessment
and verification requirements, should be valid for a
period of three years.

Article 1

The product group ‘campsite service’ shall comprise, as a main
service for a fee, the provision of pitches equipped for mobile
lodging structures within a defined area.

It shall also comprise other accommodation facilities suitable
for the provision of shelter to lodgers and collective areas for
communal service if they are provided within the defined area.

The ‘campsite service’ provided within that defined area may

ANNEX

FRAMEWORK

The aims of the criteria

The criteria aim to limit the main environmental impacts from the three phases of the service's life cycle (purchasing,
provision of the service, waste). In particular they aim to:

— limit energy consumption,

— limit water consumption,

— limit waste production,

— favour the use of renewable resources and of substances which are less hazardous to the environment,

— promote environmental communication and education.

Specifications
— Mobile lodging structures as referred to in Article 1 are those such as tents, caravans, mobile homes and camper vans.
Accommodation facilities suitable for the provision of shelter to lodgers are facilities such as bungalows, rental mobile
lodging and apartments. Collective areas for communal services are such as washing and cooking facilities, super-
markets and information facilities.

Assessment and verification requirements

The specific assessment and verification requirements are indicated immediately below each criterion set out in Sections A
and B.

Where appropriate, test methods and standards other than those indicated for each criterion may be used if their
equivalence is accepted by the Competent Body assessing the application.

Where the applicant is required to provide declarations, documentation, analyses, test reports, or other evidence to show
compliance with the criteria, it is understood that these may originate from the applicant and/or his supplier(s) and/or
their supplier(s), et cetera, as appropriate.

Where appropriate, Competent Bodies may require supporting documentation and may carry out independent verifi-
cations.

Competent Bodies shall carry out on site inspections.

the implementation of recognised environmental
The Competent Bodies are recommended to take into account
management schemes, such as EMAS or ISO 14001, when assessing applications and monitoring compliance with the
criteria.

(Note: it is not required to implement such management schemes.)

SECTION A

Criteria referred to in Article 2, first paragraph

ENERGY

1.

Electricity from renewable sources

At least 22 % of the electricity shall come from renewable energy sources, as defined in Directive 2001/77/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 27 September 2001 on the promotion of electricity produced from renewable
energy sources in the internal electricity market (1).

(1) OJ L 283, 27.10.2001, p. 33.

L 108/70

This criterion only applies to campsites that have access to a market that offers energy generated from renewable energy
sources.

Assessment and verification: The applicant shall supply a declaration from (or the contract with) the electricity supplier indicating the
nature of the renewable energy source(s), the percentage of electricity supplied that is from a renewable source, and an indication of the
maximum percentage that can be supplied. According to Directive 2001/77/EC, renewable energy sources shall mean renewable non-
fossil energy sources (wind, solar, geothermal, wave, tidal, hydropower, biomass, landfill gas, sewage treatment plant gas and biogases).

2.

Coal and heavy oils

No heavy oils having a sulphur content higher than 0,2 % and no coal shall be used as an energy source.

This criterion only applies to campsites that have an independent heating system.

Assessment and verification: The applicant shall provide a declaration of compliance with this criterion, indicating the nature of the
energy sources used.

3.

Electricity for heating

At least 22 % of the electricity used for heating common areas, rental accommodation and sanitary hot water shall be
from renewable energy sources, as defined in Directive 2001/77/EC.

This criterion only applies to campsites that have an independent electrical heating system and have access to a market
that offers electricity generated from renewable energy sources.

Assessment and verification: The applicant shall provide a declaration of compliance with this criterion, indicating the nature and
amounts of the energy sources used for heating, together with documentation on the boilers (heat generators) used, if any.

4.

Boiler efficiency

The efficiency of any new boiler (heat generator) bought within the duration of the eco-label award shall be at least 90 %,
as measured according to Council Directive 92/42/EEC of 21 May 1992 on efficiency requirements for new hot-water
boilers fired with liquid or gaseous fuels (1), or according to relevant product norms and regulations for those boilers not
covered by this Directive.

Hot-water boilers fired with liquid or gaseous fuels as defined in Directive 92/42/EEC shall comply with efficiency
standards as stated in the Directive.

The efficiency of boilers excluded from Directive 92/42/EEC shall comply with the manufacturer's instructions and with
national and local legislation on efficiency.

Assessment and verification: The applicant shall provide technical specification from those responsible for the sale and/or maintenance
of the boiler indicating the efficiency. Directive 92/42/EEC defines useful efficiency (expressed in %) as the ratio between the heat
output transmitted to the boiler water and the product of the net calorific value at constant fuel pressure and the consumption
expressed as a quantity of fuel per unit time.

Article 3 of Directive 92/42/EEC excludes the following boilers: hot-water boilers capable of being fired by different fuels
including solid fuels; equipment for the instantaneous preparation of hot water; boilers designed to be fired by fuels, the
properties of which differ appreciably from the properties of the liquid and gaseous fuels commonly marketed (industrial
waste gas, biogas, etc.); cookers and appliances designed mainly to heat the premises in which they are installed and, as a
subsidiary function, to supply hot water for central heating and sanitary hot water.

5.

Air conditioning

Any air-conditioning system bought within the duration of the eco-label award shall have at least Class B energy
efficiency as laid down in Commission Directive 2002/31/EC of 22 March 2002 implementing Council Directive
92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household air-conditioners (2), or have corresponding energy efficiency.

efficiency of Class A as defined in Commission Directive 98/11/EC of 27 January 1998 implementing Council
Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household lamps (1). This does not apply to light bulbs
whose physical characteristics do not allow substitution by energy saving light bulbs.

(b) Within one year from the date of application, at least 80 % of light bulbs that are situated where they are likely to be
turned on for more than five hours a day shall have an energy efficiency of Class A as defined by Directive 98/11/EC.
This does not apply to light bulbs whose physical characteristics do not allow substitution by energy saving light
bulbs.

Assessment and verification: The applicant shall provide a declaration of compliance with both parts of this criterion, together with
an indication of the energy efficiency class of the different light bulbs used.

10. Water source

WATER

The campsite shall declare to the water authority its willingness to switch to a different water source (e.g. mains water,
surface water) if local water protection plan studies show evidence of a high environmental impact from using its current
