New Union Testing Facility to Enhance Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Testing Capacity

On 27 May, the Commission designated a Union Testing Facility for ecodesign and energy labelling, enhancing testing capacity for national market surveillance authorities. This facility will ensure products on the market are safe and comply with EU legislation.

Union testing facilities test products, develop standardised testing methods and provide independent advice to national authorities. They also conduct training, organise workshops, and participate in expert groups. This initiative supports deeper cooperation across the EU, reducing testing costs and improving market surveillance effectiveness. More facilities in additional sectors are planned for the future.
