An ESPR scope term for a product that has an impact on energy consumption during use.
Energy-related product is the ESPR category for products that affect energy consumption during use. Teams can over-extend energy-related logic to every product record, so the implementation risk is either missing use-phase energy data where it is required or adding irrelevant energy fields where the product’s ESPR obligation is driven by another sustainability parameter.
ESPR Article 2, point 4 defines energy-related product as any product that has an impact on energy consumption during use. Keep that use-phase hook distinct from material footprint, repairability, durability, circularity, and other sustainability evidence.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for sustainable products
any product that has an impact on energy consumption during use;
Reference: Article 2, point 4
Capture energy-use field, use-phase record, product scope, operating mode, test method, product group, evidence source, measured consumption value, and applicable requirement link. The record should show whether energy consumption during use is actually the regulatory hook.
Energy-related product is an energy-scope control: energy evidence should appear where use-phase consumption drives the obligation. That control prevents the DPP model from treating energy data as universal while still supporting energy-performance rules when they apply.
