As of 1st of Janary, 2022, only fireplaces complying with the Ecodesign-Directive (EU regulation 2015/1185) may be put into operation in the EU. This directive specifies the minimum requirements for solid fuel heating appliances which have to be complied with so that they can be distributed within the European Union. The objective is to make production, distribution, use and removal of products more sustainable by an ecological innovation during the planning period and the design phase. The minimization of energy and ressources plays a major role here.
