NORDSYN Lovisa Blomqvist 20 May 2014

It is estimated that ecodesign and energy labelling can save 5% of energy use in the EU in 2020. Efficient market surveillance is essential if this is to be realized. Nordsyn aim to improve the efficiency and effect of Nordic market surveillance of ecodesign and energy labelling.

Nordsyn is • A Nordic cooperation on market control for ecodesign and energy labelling • A three-year-program of 3,6 million DKK with 10 projects and many sub-projects • Initiated by the Nordic energy ministers and financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers • Connected to green growth and energy efficiency • Project leader Lovisa Blomqvist, Swedish Energy Agency, and a steering group with five cooperating Nordic agencies

Aim Nordsyn • Nordsyn aim at a well functioning Nordic cooperation & politically important studies for efficient legislation and market control of ecodesign and energy labelling • Nordsyn also aim to support green growth and innovation and to promote Nordic industry that contribute to green growth through development of energy efficient products with lowest possible impact on the environment

Goals Nordsyn: • Support Nordic consumers and producers and the Nordic market surveillance authorities (MSAs) in their implementation of the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Directives • Develop and establish working methods to secure continued cooperation, for example by sharing market control plans, test results and results of document control • Develop hands-on material, such as information sheets and guidelines, for better and more preventive market surveillance • Strengthen Nordic products and services in the market through good market surveillance with a view to enabling producers and retailers to adapt and develop their products, and hopefully be forerunners in green growth • Contribute to the development and improvement of market surveillance in the Nordic region, and by extension in EU/EEA • Investigate and analyze in greater depth important issues such as the effects of market surveillance, how to handle strategic Nordic products and how to perform market surveillance on products integrated in systems, and aspects such as recyclability and resource efficiency • Present the EU with a Nordic view and Nordic practices

Working methods (2) + info material (5) • 26 guidelines for producers on technical documentation (for products like airconditioning, TV, circulators, lamps, washing machines, motors etc • 4 new fact sheets for producers (heat pumps, boilers, water heaters) + sharing of many more • Guideline for market surveillance in stores • Guideline for market surveillance on internet • Exercise and summary on joint document control

Deeper studies: - Strategic Nordic products - Barriers for cooperation - Challengers like market surveillance of systems, business-to-business products and resource efficiency aspects - Effects of market surveillance - Cooperation with customs - How small countries deal with ecodesign and energy labelling

1. Strategic Nordic Products Preliminary focus groups: Heat pumps: lot of Nordic industry, focus installers Windows: Nordic industry and climate aspects Study to be conducted fall 2014

3. Barriers 2013: - Discussion base on the Barrier report (2012) - Joint input from Nordsyn with focus on decreasing barriers, to the evaluation of the ecodesign and energy labelling directive sent November 2013 - Exercise on Sanctions on workshop 26th November 2013: different ways to contact, different levels of penalty 2014-2015: - Further work with still problematic barriers

6. Challengers Challengers for market surveillance: systems, b2b, resource aspects Preliminary focus groups: Ventilation systems Heating systems Machine tools Study to be conducted fall 2014

7. Effects of market surveillance 2013: Pilot project on market surveillance effects and costs •

Goal: investigate the feasibility of the main project on effects



Based on collected data about the conducted market surveillance in Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark since 2009, it was concluded that the needed input in order to carry out the assessment (main project), is either present or can be extracted from available sources.

2013-2014: Main project on Effects •

Goal: estimate the magnitude of lost energy savings due to non-compliant energy using appliances on the Nordic market, and subsequently assess the achieved benefits and costs of market surveillance



Data collection and extraction – done



Processing all data – ongoing



Calculation – ongoing –

Effects of market surveillance / energy loss if no market surveillance



Costs of market surveillance / costs with no market surveillance



Effects of Nordsyn cooperation

7. Effects of market surveillance “Deriving from the Commission estimations, Sweden has previously made this very simple calculation of what lack of market surveillance can lead to: Ecodesign and Energy Labelling are estimated to save a total of around 400 TWh per year in 2020 on EU-level, regarding adopted regulations. With the Commission estimation that, say 10% of the savings from Ecodesign and Energy labelling can be lost due to lack of market surveillance, energy savings around 2 TWh per year in 2020 will be lost for Sweden in 2020, if the market is not controlled. (400 * 0.1 * 0.05, where 0.05 is the Swedish part of the electricity use in EU).”

8. Cooperation with customs - Iceland Objective: identify and establish key functions for the best practice regarding collaboration between the MSA and the Customs Authority. Good collaboration will help to identify products before they are placed on the market and cleared by customs. Upon the request of MSAs the Customs authority can filter certain customs codes and send information to the MSA that does enable the Consumer Agency to take contact with the importer and receive documentation immediately in order to verify the conformity of the product to requirements made by the legislation It has been agreed to make a draft procedures and guidelines for the cooperation that officers at customs and MSAs have at their disposal and can refer to at any time.

9. How small countries deal with ecodesign and energy labelling Goals: -

to identify the main barriers for small countries regarding market surveillance

-

to identify and establish key functions for the best practice in small countries.

Included: Iceland, Baltic countries, Lichtenstein, Malta Preliminary barriers: money resources and personal resources both for performing the market surveillance but also for implementing the legislation and for spreading of information.

10. Secretariat – adm - Responsible working program, project descriptions, budget, contract and reporting to NCM - Have agreements with participating countries and consultants - Handle budget and payments - Inform NCM, AGEE and ministers - Arrange project meetings & workshops + write minutes (tel meetings each month + 2 workshops/project meetings per year) - Send monthly reports

10. Secretariat – hands on - Make sure participating countries share market control plans & test/document results (Feb13 + Dec13) - Coordinate information and questions to AdCo - Work with project Barriers: coordinated input to evaluation Nov 13 - Work with Continued working methods: how to keep contact (tel meetings, project site, emails, meetings) how to share test results & surveillance plans (emails, project site) - Work with Strategic Nordic Products: exercise Nov13 + prepare further studies

4. Workshops/Conference 2013: -

26th November: Focus on Non-compliance, exercise on sanctions

2014: -

21st May: Focus on Preventive market surveillance

-

Background

Nordic cooperation 2011 In 2011 the work began to build a close cooperation on the market control of ecodesign and energy labelling to retain a system for coordination and communication of market surveillance plans, test results and experiences from market surveillance in the Nordic countries. In 2011 “Nordic Testing of Energy Products” Two market surveillance tests, by testing 11 refrigerators and 11 ballasts, to verify whether they comply with ecodesign and energy labelling requirements. Four products (two refrigerators and two ballasts) did not meet the requirements.

2012: 11 barriers identified 1. Transposition of legislation 2. Publication of test results 3. Sanctions 4. Test laboratories 5. How much market surveillance/financial differences 6. Buy or borrow products for test 7. Who pays for the test 8. Budget procedures 9. Language 10. Commercial codes 11. Use of databases
