The present tender, which gives the Commission the possibility to launch testing campaigns of products covered by ecodesign and energy labelling during a period of four years, is intended to bring a valuable contribution to the EU 2030 energy efficiency targets and to contribute to the European Green Deal and its long-term carbon neutrality objectives. Indeed, market surveillance is an effective way to generate additional energy savings, because of the high leverage gained through increased compliance to the rules, by removing more non-compliant products from the market and by increasing overall compliance levels through a reinforced perception that the market is effectively surveyed. The concept of such testing campaign was initially raised in the context of the task force that DG ENER has set up with Member States to deal with gap to the energy efficiency 2020 targets.

Single framework contract for the provision of services and technical assistance for testing campaigns of energy-related products subject to ecodesign or energy labelling.
