New ecodesign and energy labelling compliance support facility for suppliers and retailers
The LIFE-2022-CET-COMPLIANCE funding program, now closed for applications, aimed to significantly enhance compliance with EU ecodesign and energy labelling regulations among suppliers and retailers. By establishing a dedicated support facility, it sought to increase understanding and proactive adherence to these critical environmental standards. This initiative was part of the broader LIFE Programme for the Environment and Climate Action (2021-2027).
Who is Funded by LIFE-2022-CET-COMPLIANCE
The LIFE-2022-CET-COMPLIANCE program targeted a broad spectrum of public and private entities across the European Union and associated countries. Its primary objective was to foster greater understanding of and compliance with EU ecodesign and energy labelling legislation, particularly among economic operators like suppliers and retailers. The program sought to achieve this by increasing outreach and providing proactive support.
What is Funded under LIFE-2022-CET-COMPLIANCE
The LIFE-2022-CET-COMPLIANCE program focused on funding projects that establish support facilities for improving adherence to ecodesign and energy labelling. It prioritized activities that involve training, dissemination of knowledge, and direct assistance to economic operators. Crucially, the program emphasized process and service-oriented interventions rather than direct financing of technologies, with equipment costs generally deemed ineligible.

The LIFE-2022-CET-COMPLIANCE program provided financial support in the form of grants, with a maximum contribution set for individual proposals. The overall budget allocated to the broader LIFE-2022-CET call was substantial, reflecting the European Commission's commitment to clean energy transition.
