Ecodesign and Energy Efficiency
We handle Ecodesign (ErP) conformity, energy labelling and technical file processes for lighting and energy-related products.
Related HS chapters
Chapter information is indicative; the actual obligation depends on the product's function.
Energy-related products — lighting above all — must meet Ecodesign (ErP) requirements and carry an energy label before being placed on the market. The costliest mistake here is a product that is physically compliant while the efficiency class declared on the label does not match the test report: if market surveillance catches it, the goods are recalled, labels are reprinted and the cost is paid twice. We check that consistency before import.
What this service covers
- Determining whether the product falls within the scope of Ecodesign
- Comparing declared efficiency class and luminous flux against test reports
- Preparing the energy label and product information sheet in line with the regulations
- Completing the technical file and efficiency calculation annexes
- Verifying CE marking and the declaration of conformity
- Filing the TAREKS application and managing the customs process
How the process works
How the process works
Scope assessment
We identify which Ecodesign regulation applies to the product and whether an energy label is mandatory.
Test and declaration check
We verify that the values in the test report match the efficiency class declared on the label — this is where discrepancies most often appear.
Label and file preparation
We bring the energy label, product information sheet and Turkish manual into compliance.
Filing and conclusion
We file the TAREKS application, respond to agency requests and hand the process to your customs broker.
