EU Sets Eco-Design Requirements for Ovens, Ranges and Range Hoods

Kitchen appliances

The Commission of the European Union (EU) has issued a Regulation implementing new eco-design and energy efficiency requirements for domestic cooking ovens, cooking ranges (“hobs”) and range hoods.

The Regulation, which was published in January 2014 in the Official Journal of the European Union, is considered an implementation measure under the EU’s Eco-Design Directive, 2009/125/EC. That directive gives the Commission the authority to establish minimum efficiency standards for those “energy-related products representing significant volume of sales and trade, having significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs.”

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part Two

Maxwell’s Equations are eloquently simple yet excruciatingly complex. Their first statement by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 heralded the beginning of the age of radio and, one could argue, the age of modern electronics.

The new eco-design and energy efficiency requirements for ovens, ranges and range hoods come into effect beginning in January 2015, and are detailed in Annex I of the Regulation. Annex II of the Regulation defines the methods for the measurement and calculation of energy efficiency, while Annex III details the procedures to be used by authorities in EU member states for verifying compliance with the Regulation’s requirements.

Read the complete text of the Commission’s Regulation regarding the eco-design and energy efficiency of domestic ovens, ranges and range hoods.
