The European Product Database for Energy Labelling (EPREL), established in 2019, has become a central repository for energy labels and energy-related product information. As we explored on our first article on EPREL, for consumers, the registry provides much-needed transparency, enabling informed choices in the marketplace. 

(EU) 2024/994

Manufacturers need to register essential product details in EPREL, including energy efficiency ratings, technical specifications, and compliance data. But this transparency isn’t just about meeting regulatory obligations—it’s a strategic opportunity to enhance market positioning. In today’s competitive landscape, demonstrating energy efficiency and environmental responsibility can be the key to making your products stand out. 

With Regulation (EU) 2024/994 introducing stricter verification requirements, time is of the essence. From October 2024, only verified suppliers will be able to register or modify product information in EPREL. Those who fail to comply will see their products disappear from public listings, placing them at a serious disadvantage. ProdBIM’s recent analysis highlights the urgency: a significant portion of HVAC&R products could disappear from the market due to verification issues. The projected impact by category is as follows:

• Air conditioners: 19.5% 

• Refrigerating appliances with direct sales function: 17.5% 

• Residential ventilation units: 56.7%  

• Space heaters: 7.1%
• Water heaters: 11.7%
   

In relation to EPREL requirements, ProdBIM helps manufacturers to not become part of these statistics. As a benefit tied to Eurovent Certifications, ProdBIM offers expert guidance and state-of-the-art tools to ensure manufacturers' products remain compliant, visible, and competitive.

With a tailored workflow to EPREL, ProdBIM takes the complexity out the compliance declaration process, allowing companies to focus on delivering high-quality, energy-efficient solutions to the market.
