The EU Commission has released new working documents on ecodesign and energy labelling of water heaters and hot water storage tanks. An additional working document related to transitional testing and calculation methods will follow.

Besides boilers (Lot 1) this product group bears the highest energy saving potential among the product groups addressed under the Ecodesign Directive so far.
