The European Commission is seeking feedback on draft updates to four technical regulations covering ecodesign and energy labelling of space heaters and water heaters, including boilers and hydronic heat pumps. The consultations open on 28 November and close on 26 December 2025. The revision will reflect technical and market progress, such as new testing methods for efficiency, sound power levels and NOx emissions, and will incorporate new products like hybrid heat pumps. A simplified A‑G label will replace the current A+++‑D scale, featuring a QR code linking to the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL). The labels will also show noise levels and icons indicating compliance with the EU Code of Conduct on appliances. Fossil‑based heaters would face stricter ecodesign rules, while non‑fossil options would have less stringent but mandatory spare‑part and price‑information requirements. All heaters must undergo third‑party conformity assessment before sale, with models required to display consumption.
