Abstract

As part of the series of studies related to the elaboration of a methodology for the evaluation of products in for the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, this JRC Science-for-Policy report addresses methodological approaches to the policy option of ‘horizontal ecodesign requirements’. To that end, a set of tools are provided to future study teams of such measures. First, the concept of horizontality potential is presented and its applicability on product aspects and ESPR products is explained, followed by the identification of horizontality levels for various provisions under product aspects. Secondly, a multi-criteria assessment approach to building appropriate product scopes for an aspect-based horizontal measure is proposed. Thirdly, a flowchart of options for environmental assessment of a horizontal measure is proposed, depending on the product scope. Finally, elements of potential trade-offs and implications are briefly discussed.
