Joint Industry on EPREL – Letter to DG ENER on Implementing Act

The EU Product Database for Energy Labelling (EPREL) needs to meet the objectives stated in Regulation 2017/1369. It has to be set up so that the burden for suppliers is minimised (Art 12.7a), data security is ensured (Art 12.9), terms and conditions – including the scope – are known in advance, and a fair and level playing field is safeguarded by identifying free-riders (Recital 6). In addition, it has to ensure that it is fit for purpose for all product groups and it takes into account their various characteristics. The industries concerned by the product groups to be registered in the EPREL Database would like to reiterate their concerns regarding the setup of the Database and the need to ensure operational and technical certainty for industry.
