    What this call funds

    This LIFE call funds a support facility that helps manufacturers, suppliers and retailers understand and comply with EU ecodesign and energy labelling rules. It combines proactive outreach (training, guidance, promotion of the EPREL product registry) with reactive support such as a help-line, plus pilot online compliance checks on retailer websites across several EU countries. The goal is to boost awareness and compliance, especially among smaller suppliers and dealers who are less connected to trade associations.
