ESPR vs Ecodesign Directive Scope, passports and transition
ESPR replaces the Ecodesign Directive as the wider EU framework for sustainable product requirements.
This comparison helps separate the older energy-related product regime from ESPR's broader product scope, Digital Product Passport (DPP) architecture, unsold-goods rules, and transition evidence.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR) repealed the Ecodesign Directive on 18 July 2024, but it did not erase the Directive's product-specific implementing measures. ESPR broadens the framework beyond energy-related products, uses delegated acts for product-group or horizontal requirements, and adds Digital Product Passport, unsold-goods, and market-surveillance rules. keeps specified Directive provisions and implementing measures alive for defined purposes and periods. The controlling rule therefore depends on the product group, the current product-specific act, the obligation, and the transition branch.
Comparison matrix
ESPR vs Ecodesign Directive: side-by-side compliance comparison
Read each row as a control point for product-roadmap, evidence, and market-access planning. The key question is whether a product is still governed by an existing Directive 2009/125/EC implementing measure, by an ESPR delegated act, or by both during transition.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 establishes the new framework for setting ecodesign requirements for sustainable products and repeals Directive 2009/125/EC with transition rules.
Second framework
Ecodesign Directive
Directive 2009/125/EC was the earlier framework for setting ecodesign requirements for energy-related products through implementing measures.
ESPR vs Ecodesign Directive: side-by-side compliance comparison
ESPR extends the ecodesign approach to almost all physical goods placed on the EU market or put into service, with specific exclusions and product-specific tailoring through later acts.
Explains that ESPR extends the earlier Ecodesign Directive beyond energy-related products to virtually all physical products, subject to exemptions.
cover virtually all physical products
The Ecodesign Directive focused on energy-related products. Existing implementing measures under that framework remain important for covered product groups until they are repealed, replaced, or declared obsolete.
Identifies the prior framework as the regime for ecodesign requirements for energy-related products.
energy-related products
Do not treat an existing Ecodesign Directive product conclusion as enough for ESPR. Check whether the product is energy-related and already covered by an implementing measure, then separately check whether an ESPR product group or horizontal requirement is being developed.
ESPR assigns role-specific duties to manufacturers, authorised representatives, importers, distributors, dealers, and fulfilment service providers. Online marketplaces and search engines have cooperation duties, and covered economic operators can have separate unsold-goods duties.
Recitals explain that Directive 2009/125/EC should be replaced by a regulation to support uniform application and broader market-surveillance provisions.
replaced by a Regulation
The Directive framework placed core conformity duties on manufacturers and, where the manufacturer was not established in the Union and had no authorised representative, on the importer. Product-specific implementing measures could define further information and conformity requirements.
Grounds the comparator as the directive framework for energy-related product ecodesign requirements.
Directive 2009/125/EC
Record the operator role as well as the product rule. Do not carry a Directive-era manufacturer or importer allocation into ESPR without checking the current delegated act and ESPR's role-specific provisions.
ESPR gives the Commission power to set product-specific or horizontal ecodesign requirements through delegated acts. Those acts determine the actual requirements for a product group.
Explains that product rules are developed after prioritisation, impact assessment, stakeholder consultation, and Ecodesign Forum work.
product-by-product basis
The Ecodesign Directive used implementing measures adopted for specific energy-related product groups. Those measures can still control products during the ESPR transition.
Supports the older implementing-measure architecture for energy-related products.
implementing measures
The practical trigger is not the ESPR title alone. A product team needs the current product-group act, the requirement parameter, and any transition provision before changing design, labelling, conformity, or evidence processes.
ESPR explicitly covers performance requirements and information requirements. The Commission overview lists durability, reusability, upgradability, reparability, maintenance, refurbishment, energy and resource efficiency, substances inhibiting circularity, recycled content, remanufacturing, recycling, footprint, waste, and sustainability information as possible areas.
Supports the distinction between ESPR performance requirements and information requirements.
performance requirements or information requirements
The Ecodesign Directive was centred on energy-related products, although earlier implementing measures also included some circularity aspects such as durability, repairability, and recyclability.
Recitals describe the Ecodesign Directive's existing role for energy efficiency and some circularity aspects.
energy efficiency and some circularity aspects
Map each product requirement to its legal source and parameter. Do not infer a recycled-content, DPP, repair, or disclosure obligation for a product unless the relevant delegated or implementing act actually sets it.
ESPR strengthens market-surveillance planning and corrective-action mechanics. For products covered by ESPR delegated acts, authorities can evaluate compliance, require corrective action, restrict or withdraw products, and rely on technical documentation and declaration-of-conformity evidence.
The Ecodesign Directive also used conformity assessment, technical documentation, declarations, and safeguard mechanisms for products covered by its implementing measures.
Grounds the older conformity and documentation comparator for implementing-measure products.
conformity assessment
Keep evidence at product-model level: applicable act, harmonised standards or common specifications used, measurement results, information provided under information requirements, declaration of conformity, and retained technical documentation. Transition products may need both the old implementing-measure record and ESPR market-surveillance response readiness.
ESPR entered into force on 18 July 2024. A product-group delegated act generally cannot apply earlier than 18 months after entry into force unless the act states a justified exception. Its own application date, not a working-plan or consultation date, starts the product requirement.
Article 4(4) establishes the general rule that a delegated act cannot apply earlier than 18 months after entry into force, subject to its stated exceptions; Article 80 establishes ESPR's entry into force.
Technical context for modelling sustainability and circularity information in digital product passports.
information model
Directive 2009/125/EC was repealed on 18 July 2024 subject to . Specified provisions continue until 31 December 2026 for listed product groups, until 31 December 2030 only for technical amendments to existing measures, or until the relevant implementing measure is repealed or declared obsolete, depending on the branch.
Binding source for the 18 July 2024 repeal, the 31 December 2026 and 31 December 2030 transition branches, and the provisions that continue until a legacy implementing measure is repealed or declared obsolete.
Supports that the older framework addressed ecodesign information through implementing measures rather than the ESPR DPP system.
information requirements
Keep separate dates for framework repeal, the legacy implementing measure, the branch, the ESPR delegated act's entry into force, and its application date. Do not convert a transition end date into a universal deadline for every product or obligation.
Article 79 requires teams to distinguish the framework repeal date, each preserved Directive provision, the applicable legacy implementing measure, and any later ESPR delegated act.
until such measures are repealed or declared obsolete
ESPR links non-compliance to the market-surveillance framework. Authorities can require proportionate corrective action and, where it is not taken, restrict or prohibit availability, withdraw a product, or recall it. Member States set penalties, and ESPR permits recovery of document-inspection and physical-testing costs in specified non-compliance cases.
Articles 69 to 71 establish evaluation, proportionate corrective action, restriction, withdrawal, recall, Union safeguard procedures, and formal non-compliance; Article 74 leaves penalty rules to Member States.
take appropriate and proportionate corrective action
The Directive used Member State market surveillance and a safeguard procedure for products covered by implementing measures. now determines which Directive enforcement provisions continue for legacy measures, while specified ESPR free-movement, circumvention, and enforcement provisions also apply to those products.
Articles 3, 7 and 20 establish Member State market surveillance, the safeguard procedure, and Member State penalty rules for the Directive regime.
take all appropriate measures
Tie every authority response to the current product measure and transition provision. An ESPR unsold-goods breach, an ESPR delegated-act breach, and non-compliance with a surviving Directive implementing measure can require different evidence and corrective-action paths.
Explains that ESPR replaces the Directive and that concrete ESPR rules are developed product-by-product or horizontally, which supports keeping authority responses tied to the current product measure.
ESPR repealed Directive 2009/125/EC with effect from 18 July 2024, but preserves specified Directive provisions for defined transitional cases. Some provisions continue until 31 December 2026 for listed product groups; limited amendments needed to address technical issues in existing implementing measures can continue until 31 December 2030; and other legacy provisions continue for products covered by implementing measures until those measures are repealed or declared obsolete.
Article 79 grounds the repeal date and the transition treatment of Directive 2009/125/EC provisions and implementing measures.

Section 1
What changed from the Ecodesign Directive to ESPR?
The biggest change is scope. Directive 2009/125/EC was the framework for energy-related products. ESPR takes the ecodesign approach and applies it to a much broader sustainable-products framework, with later delegated acts setting the concrete requirements for specific product groups or horizontal topics.
The second change is architecture. ESPR adds Digital Product Passport mechanics, unsold-consumer-product rules, and expanded market-surveillance coordination. Those elements should not be backfilled into old Ecodesign Directive compliance files unless a current ESPR source or delegated act supports the claim.
Use Directive 2009/125/EC implementing measures for legacy covered energy-related products where transition rules keep them relevant.
Use Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 and its delegated acts for ESPR product requirements, DPP obligations, unsold-goods controls, and new evidence expectations.
Keep product obligations blank when the framework exists but the product-specific delegated act has not yet set the requirement.

Build the ESPR transition crosswalk
Map each product group to existing Ecodesign Directive measures, ESPR transition rules, delegated-act status, DPP data needs, and retained evidence before changing public claims or conformity workflows.
Do not retire a Directive-era product file because ESPR repealed the framework directive on 18 July 2024. preserves different parts of Directive 2009/125/EC for different purposes and periods. The applicable legacy implementing measure remains the starting point for a product already covered by it.
For the product groups listed in (1)(a)(i), specified Directive provisions continue until 31 December 2026. Article 79(1)(a)(ii) also permits specified Directive provisions to continue until 31 December 2030 for products covered by existing implementing measures, but only where amendments are needed to address technical issues with those measures. Separate provisions continue under Article 79(1)(b) until the relevant implementing measures are repealed or declared obsolete.
Identify the exact legacy implementing measure and the product model it covers.
Record which branch preserves the relevant Directive provision and the end condition for that branch.
Keep the legacy conformity assessment, technical documentation, declaration, test results, and market-surveillance records until the controlling measure and retention rule allow disposal.
Add an ESPR workstream only when a new delegated act, horizontal rule, DPP requirement, or other directly applicable ESPR provision creates a separate duty.
Article 79 establishes the repeal date, the 31 December 2026 and 31 December 2030 transition branches, continued application until legacy measures are repealed or declared obsolete, and document availability for products placed on the market under the earlier regime.
