RDC: Shaping the Future of Regulations through Reliable Data
Eurovent Market Intelligence (EMI) is officially launching its 2026 data collection for Refrigerated Display Cabinets (RDCs). As the European Commission reviews the Ecodesign (EU) 2019/2024 and Energy Labelling (EU) 2019/2018 regulations, your data is the most powerful tool the industry has to ensure that future energy thresholds are based on technical reality, not theoretical projections.
Why Your Participation is Essential
The European Commission relies on accurate market data to set the “A to G” energy class distributions and Minimum Efficiency Index (EEI) limits. By contributing your EPREL-aligned data, you ensure:
- Realistic Benchmarking: Help the Commission understand the actual distribution of energy classes (A–G) currently on the market.
- Informed Policy: Prevent “over-regulation” by providing evidence of the technical challenges in specific product categories (e.g., remote vs. integral, beverage coolers vs. supermarket multi-decks).
- Industry Advocacy: Support a fair transition toward the upcoming Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and Digital Product Passports.
The Reward: Exclusive Market Intelligence
Participation isn’t just about compliance, it’s about competitive advantage. Manufacturers who contribute their data gain access to the aggregated EMI final report, providing:
- Market Share Analysis: See where you stand in the European RDC landscape.
- Efficiency Trends: Understand which energy classes are becoming the “market standard” across different EU member states.
- Technological Shift Tracking: Gain insights into the adoption rates of low-GWP refrigerants and high-efficiency components.
Our Commitment to Data Privacy
At EMI, confidentiality is our cornerstone. Individual manufacturer data is never disclosed to the Commission or competitors. We only provide anonymised, aggregated industry totals that represent the collective voice of the European RDC market.
