Anti-Circumvention

Assesment and definition of "circumvention" cases in order to achieve a better product positioning in relation to Ecodesign and Energy labelling legislation.

AntiCSS final newsletter is now available.
It provides an overview of the project´s final actions, including the final report, overview of events, test results, impacts of circumvention, guidelines and recommendations, and more:

Cheating performance tests to artificially improve the results... Dieselgate, right? Well, this malpractice doesn't stop at cars. Energy performance tests of household appliances can be tweaked to get a better energy label. It's called 'circumvention' and needs to stop. See⬇️

[ANEC | Raising standards for consumers @anectweet]

As members of the Advisory Board of the ANTICCS project, we followed with interest its final conference and resulting recommendations.

The regulatory requirements on the #energyconsumption and performance of #electricalappliances can be circumvented by manipulating the laboratory tests. @AntiCircumvent helps to close loopholes. #Anticcs #circumvention #energyefficiency #ecodesign

What is the impact of circumvention? What is the potential of energy being lost due to products circumventing the #energyefficiency #energylabel #EUecodesign requirements?

Details by @RStamminger @UniBonn: could be an equivalent of a car driving around the globe 42 000 times

Testing of refrigertors, performed by Re/genT lab, explained the door opening importance - as performed within the standarides tests as well as display of a controller, providing a digital clock and the impact on energy consumption of a product within the test and in real use:

Example of circumvention - its not only a possible software issue, but also other ways of circumventing the legal and standardisation requirements.

@VDE_Group tested a dishwasher where different instructions were given for the laboratory than for the end users:

An example provided also for a washing machine tested by @LCOE_ES - comparing various values of energy consumption at different kilogram values: comparing manufacturer declarations and test results of both values declared by the manufacturer and other load values:

Summary of project actions by @GraulichKathrin @oekoinstitut:

8 products groups analysed - three models tested from each category, with 18 suspicious cases in total.
Models were selected within a targeted selection procedure of suspicious cases.
