New ETL-EU Mark


Intertek launches a new ETL-EU Mark. The Mark verifies that the product complies with applicable European Union (EU) standards and directives. Learn more.

Intertek is the leading ErP Directve authority providing easy and cost-efficient ErP compliance evaluations and declarations for mandatory CE Marking requirements.

With 62 global laboratories focused on ErP, we are uniquely positioned to deliver ErP compliance solutions which are easy to understand, simple in their delivery and sensitive to your cost concerns.

As of November 20, 2009 the Eco-Design Directive EuP was replaced with the new energy-related products directive (ErP) 2009/125/EC. The old Eco-Design Directive for energy using products only covered products that were using energy such as a microwave, washing machine or a television. The new ErP-Directive covers products under the old EuP Directive as well as products that are energy-related and do not directly use energy such as such as double glazing windows, taps and showerheads.

According to the European Commission the definition of an energy-related product is; “any goods having an impact on energy consumption during use". Energy-related products include all energy-using products, plus energy-saving products such as windows and some water-using domestic devices, which can reduce water consumption and therefore the amount of energy needed to heat water.

The ErP Directive will be implemented in each EU member country starting November 20, 2010. The European Commission has not yet come up with a product list for the new Directive and the final text of the Directive is still to be published in the EU's Official Journal.

Intertek’s ErP solutions are broken into two categories:

1. ErP Compliance

  • ErP Pre-Compliance Verification: Learn how your product measures up against proposed and future ErP regulations for R&D purposes, compliance planning and to determine market readiness.
  • ErP Compliance Verification: Receive full verification to the appropriate EuP Implementing Measures and Intertek will deliver a test report for your product’s technical file and Statement of Compliance for legal CE Marking. We’ll also advise and provide you with the most cost-effective path to compliance with other New Approach Directives.

2. ErP Training & Consulting

  • ErP Training, Education, & Consulting: Strategy guide and plan, Business impact, supply chain options, legal responsibilities and deadlines.
  • ErP Eco Software Analysis: Let Intertek perform an analysis of your product’s Ecological profile according to the EuP directive specifications.
  • ErP Life Cycle Analysis: Identify the impacts on design, manufacturing, and product
  • ErP Compliance Assurance Process: Process based building of testing and eco design data to support your compliance claim

The ErP Directive is an expansive piece of environmental legislation; and if taken on alone by manufacturers can seem onerous to achieve and difficult to document compliance for legal CE Marking. Intertek’s depth of experts in environmental legislation and product compliance have untangled the ErP Directive and its implementing measures to help manufacturers realize the most cost-efficient, easy to understand and simple path to compliance and market access.
