A quantitative or non-quantitative ESPR requirement for a product to achieve a specified performance level.
Performance requirements translate sustainability policy into product proof. The implementation risk is documenting a claim without preserving the parameter, level, method, evidence, and decision that show the product actually meets the requirement.
ESPR Article 2, point 8 ties performance requirements to product parameters in Annex I. Keep that source boundary separate from information requirements under Article 7(2), which concern accompanying product information and disclosure channels.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for sustainable products
a quantitative or non-quantitative requirement for or in relation to a product to achieve a certain performance level in relation to a product parameter referred to in Annex I;
Reference: Article 2, point 8
Capture product parameter, required performance level, product group, test record, method reference, sample or model scope, measured result, tolerance rule, technical file link, and pass/fail decision. The proof package should be tied to the product identifier and the delegated-act requirement it satisfies.
Performance requirement is a performance-proof control: a product claim needs a parameter, evidence source, and assessment decision. That control keeps measurable product obligations separate from information-delivery obligations.
