Energy & EcoDesign
EcoDesign, ENERGY STAR, and MEPS without guesswork
Energy labeling, EcoDesign / ErP, ENERGY STAR, and regional MEPS for power supplies, electronics, lighting, and appliances.
What this engagement covers
We identify which energy-efficiency regulations apply to your product category, build the measurement plan (idle, standby, networked standby, active modes), coordinate accredited testing, and prepare labeling / EPREL / ENERGY STAR documentation so efficiency claims survive audit.
Best fit for
- External and internal power supply vendors
- Electronics with standby / networked standby limits
- Lighting, HVAC peripherals, and appliance OEMs
- Brands pursuing ENERGY STAR or retail efficiency requirements
What's included
- Product-group regulation mapping (EU / US / other MEPS)
- Mode definitions and test-method selection
- Lab coordination for efficiency & standby measurements
- Energy label / EPREL support when applicable
- ENERGY STAR partner & certification pathway support
- Technical documentation for EcoDesign conformity

How we work
One clear path from classification to market-ready evidence.
Classify
Product group and applicable efficiency rules
Measure
Modes, methods, and lab plan
Document
Technical docs, labels, registrations
Maintain
Design changes that affect efficiency
Engineering notes
EcoDesign is product-group specific — a “generic CE EMC report” does not satisfy efficiency documentation. We pull the exact regulation that applies to your category.
ENERGY STAR is voluntary but often retailer-mandatory; third-party certification and laboratory accreditation rules apply.
Correct regulation set
Label-ready data
Fewer retail/customs blocks
