Abstract: Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulation of domestic cooking appliances entered into force in 2015. Since then, the market has evolved and new technologies are available. The implementing measures contain review clauses that are already due. Energy classes also need rescaling. Therefore, the Commission launched the revision of this Regulation. The study has been led by DG ENER and conducted by the Joint Research Centre. Some areas where revised regulation could provide added value in this product group have been identified. Some oven manufacturers may be exploiting the characteristics of current measurement methods to declare energy consumption values that are lower than real-life use. The current approach for energy declaration allows the use of heating modes that are not consumer representative. Similarly, current energy efficiency measurement methods in cooking fume extractors may be pushing the market towards high airflow appliances, rather than to energy efficient ones. Other aspects that required further research were the ambition level of material efficiency requirements, the feasibility of energy sources such as hydrogen or the harmonization with other horizontal regulation such as low power modes.Based on these aspects, a set of policy options have been evaluated and presented as potential aspects to review in a hypothetical new version of the ecodesign and energy labelling regulation for cooking appliances.
