APPLiA urges flexible ecodesign rules to prevent banning large ovens

APPLiA (Home Appliance Europe), 26 May 2023

APPLiA requests a hybrid efficiency approach for electric ovens to avoid banning larger models. They advocate for keeping current definitions of portable ovens and excluding combi-microwaves from limits. They also propose more lenient efficiency requirements for radiant hobs.
