Despite the entering into force of the new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) on 18 July 2024, work will continue under the now replaced Ecodesign Directive until the end of 2026.
The European Commission clarified during a May workshop and, in September 2024 through the publication of a frequently asked questions (FAQ) document, how the transition between the two legal instruments will work.
The ecodesign requirements already adopted under the Ecodesign Directive will remain in force until repealed. These measures can still be amended until 2030.
Those ecodesign requirements for which work is still on-going under the Ecodesign Directive must be finalised by the end of 2026 under the legal framework of the old directive.
The first ecodesign measures to be developed under the ESPR will be set out in a new working plan expected to be agreed in 2025, with the first measures expected to apply from late 2027.
