New EU energy efficiency standards: ERP EUP Directive replaces Directive October 31, 2009, the European Commission in its Official Gazette published the EuP Directive OJ (2005/32/EC) of the rewritten instruction: "to establish eco-design requirements for energy-related products, the framework" (2009/125/EC) (referred to as ErP), and within 20 days of publication date. the new directive entered into force, will replace the existing EuP directive.

The new Directive (ErP instruction) will expand the scope of the existing EuP directive, in principle, cover all energy-related products. to the new instructions, means any energy-related products to promote the EU market , the use of an impact on energy consumption of the product. such as windows and water insulating materials or products such as shower heads, faucets, etc. will be affected by the new Directive on the grounds that the bathroom equipment and other energy related products such as the use of environmentally friendly, can reduce water consumption and therefore require less energy to heat the water.
