ANNEX II Procedure for defining performance requirements

ANNEX II

Procedure for defining performance requirements

Product specific or horizontal performance requirements shall be set as follows:

a technical, environmental and economic analysis shall select a number of representative models of the product or products in question on the market and identify the technical options for improving the product performance in relation to the product parameters referred to in Annex I, taking into account the economic viability of the options and avoiding any significant increase of other life cycle environmental impacts, and significant loss of performance or of usefulness for consumers.

The analysis referred to in the first paragraph shall also identify, for the parameter under consideration, the best-performing products and technologies available on the market, as well as emerging technology improvements.

The performance of products available on international markets and benchmarks set in other countries’ law shall be taken into consideration during the analysis referred to in the first paragraph as well as when setting requirements.

Based on the analysis referred to in the first paragraph, and taking into account economic and technical feasibility, including the availability of key resources and technologies, as well as the potential for improvement, levels or non-quantitative requirements shall be defined.

Any concentration limit for substances as referred to in Annex I, point (f), shall be based on a thorough analysis of the sustainability of the substances and their identified alternatives, and shall not have significant adverse effects on human health or the environment. Any performance requirement concerning substances as referred to in Annex I, point (f), shall take into consideration existing chemical safety assessments performed by the relevant Union bodies for the substances concerned, as well as safe and sustainable by design criteria for chemicals and materials developed by the Commission. Proposed concentration limits shall also consider aspects of enforceability, such as analytical detection limits.

Where relevant, the analysis referred to in the first paragraph shall take into account the likely impacts of climate change on the product during its prospective lifetime, and the product’s potential to improve climate resilience throughout its life cycle.

A sensitivity analysis covering the relevant factors, such as the price of energy or other resources, the cost of raw materials and necessary technologies, production costs, discount rates, and, where appropriate, external environmental costs, including avoided greenhouse gas emissions, shall be carried out.

For the development of the analysis referred to in the first subparagraph, relevant information available in the framework of other Union activities, including, among others, existing sectoral roadmaps as referred to in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, shall be taken into account and shall include technical information used as a basis for or derived from Regulation (EC) No 66/2010, Directive 2010/75/EU, technical screening criteria adopted pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2020/852 and EU green public procurement criteria.

That shall also apply for information available from existing programmes applied in other parts of the world for setting the specific ecodesign requirements for products traded with the Union’s economic partners.

ANNEX VI Criteria for self-regulation measures

ANNEX VI

Criteria for self-regulation measures

(referred to in Article 21)

The following non-exhaustive list of criteria shall be used to assess self-regulation measures in accordance with Article 21:

Openness of participation

Self-regulation measures must be open to the participation of any operators placing on the market a product covered by the self-regulation measure, including SMEs and third country operators, both in the preparatory and in the implementation phases. Economic operators intending to establish a self-regulation measure should make a public announcement of their intention to do so before the process of developing the measure is started.

Sustainability and added value

Self-regulation measures must respond to the policy objectives of this Regulation and must be consistent with the economic and social dimensions of sustainable development. Self-regulation measures must have an integrated approach to the protection of the environment, interests of consumers, health, quality of life and economic interests.

Representativeness

Industry and its related associations taking part in a self-regulation measure must represent a large majority of the relevant economic sector, in accordance with Article 21(3), first subparagraph, point (b). Care must be taken to ensure respect for Union competition law, in particular Article 101 TFEU regarding anti-competitive agreements.

Quantified and staged objectives

The objectives defined by the signatories in their self-regulation measures must be set in clear, quantifiable and unambiguous terms, starting from a well-defined baseline. If the self-regulation measure covers a long time-span, interim targets must be included. It must be possible to monitor compliance with objectives and interim targets in an affordable and credible way using clear and reliable indicators.

Involvement of civil society

With a view to ensuring transparency, self-regulation measures must be publicised, including online on a publicly and freely accessible website and via other electronic means of disseminating information.

Stakeholders, including Member States, industry, environmental NGOs and consumers’ associations, shall be invited to comment on a self-regulation measure.

Monitoring and reporting

An independent inspector must be selected and nominated in order to monitor compliance of signatories with the self-regulation measure. The self-regulation measure must empower the independent inspector to verify compliance with its requirements. The self-regulation measure must also lay down the procedure to select the independent inspector and the rules to ensure that the inspector has no conflict of interest and has the necessary skills for verifying compliance with its requirements.

Every year, each signatory must report all the information and data necessary for the independent inspector to reliably verify the signatory's compliance with the self-regulation measure.

The independent inspector must draw up a compliance report at the end of each one-year reporting period.

Where a signatory does not comply with the requirements of the self-regulation measure, it must take corrective action. The independent inspector shall notify the other signatories participating in the self-regulation measure of a lack of compliance by a signatory and of the corrective action the signatory intends to take.

The results of any market surveillance activity conducted by a market surveillance authority during which non-compliance with the self-regulation measures requirements has been identified shall be taken into account by the independent inspector, in particular in the compliance report, and corrective action shall be taken.

Cost-effectiveness of administering a self-regulation measure

The cost of administering the self-regulation measure, in particular as regards monitoring, must not lead to a disproportionate administrative burden, as compared to its objectives and to other available policy instruments.
