Switzerland: Draft revision of the ordinance on energy efficiency

 

Switzerland has published a draft revision of the ordinance on energy efficiency. It further harmonizes the requirements with the EU law.

As part of the present revision of the Energy Efficiency Ordinance of November 1, 2017 (EnEV; SR 730.02), adaptations to EU law are being made.

Energy efficiency requirements are adapted to EU law in Annexes 1.3 (tumble dryers), 1.7 (range hoods), 1.23 (mobile phones, cordless phones and tablets ), 2.1 (Stand-by) and 2.6 (ventilators).

The requirements for coffee machines in Appendix 3.2, which previously deviated from EU law, are repealed.
