About Project

In short

The general purpose of the Project is to improve implementation phase of the energy efficiency regulation concerning energy related products on the market (implementation of Serbian decrees and rulebooks that transposed European Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2017 setting a framework for energy labelling and repealing Directive 2010/30/EU and EU Directive 2009/125/EC) (recast) establishing a framework for the setting of eco-design requirements for energy-related products. Improvement should include strengthening of capacities of market surveillance authorities and conformity assessment bodies (CABs) to comply with the new regulation and to fulfil the appropriate requirements, followed by the market situation overview and improvement of CABs technical capacities for testing and Conformity Assessment. Project should give the new review of the market situation, to what extent the regulation is respected, what are the necessary conditions for improvement of situation, establishment and strengthening capacities of CABs to enable better control of the products, better information flow up to producers, suppliers, traders and consumers, advices for establishment of new market surveillance authorities (for products which are not covered by the Law on market surveillance) and better connection of Serbian market with EU market.

The project will give an update on the market of households’ appliances that are covered by eco design and energy labelling regulations, provide technical assistance to recognized market surveillance authorities for monitoring of industrial products and further training. The Contractor shall develop a technical specification of equipment needed for CABs in order to improve their conformity assessment capacities of the energy related products. The capacities of market inspection and of other market surveillance authorities to control the market and putting into service of energy related products also should be increased.

Project should contribute to better understanding of implementation of energy labelling and eco design requirements of all stakeholders and especially on customers.
