The new EuP directive controls all energy-using products. On October 31, 2009, the European Union's "Official Journal" published a new directive (2009/125/EC) related to the design method of "energy-related" products. The new directive aims to establish a framework for relevant departments to establish regulations on the environmentally friendly design of energy-related products, replacing the EuP Directive (2005/32/EC) that has been in effect since 2005. Since the EuP Directive came into effect, the EU has adopted some implementation methods covering several types of energy-consuming products such as televisions, lamps and refrigerators, and is now preparing to launch implementing measures related to imaging equipment, computers and dishwashers. According to Article 1 of the new EuP Directive, all energy-related products fall within the scope of the new directive in principle. As for the specific products that fall within the scope of the directive, they will be listed in the European Commission's future implementation method. These should continue to include energy-consuming products, such as appliances, but also products related to energy use, such as showerheads and other bathroom fixtures, insulation and double glazing, which, if designed to meet environmental requirements, will help Energy saving. According to Article 2 of the Directive, "energy-related product" refers to any product that is placed on the market and affects energy consumption when used, including parts and components of energy-related products covered by the Directive. Such parts and components Put on the market in individual forms for use by end consumers, and their environmental performance can be independently evaluated
