Ecodesign Impact Assessments with VHK as Technical lead
VHK has ample experience as a lead and consortium-partner in several framework contracts (FWCs) as well as other with the European institutions and national governments in the fields of Ecodesign and Energy Labelling. Specific contracts include preparatory Ecodesign studies, modelling, standardisation support, methodology and impact assessments.
An overview of our impact assessment (IA) studies is given here. Examples of other VHK work can be found on the Reports page.
Since 2006, VHK has performed over 25 product Impact Assessments, relating to about 40 legal acts. The studies can be downloaded from the list on this page. The IA-studies handle environmental, economic and technical aspects of the legislation being proposed, according to a format given in the better regulation Guidelines. They serve a purpose of internal scrutiny within the institutions during the law-making process. For reasons of accountability and transparency they are also published on the website of the Commission's Regulatory Scrutiny Board (RSB) when the legal acts to which they pertain are issued.
VHK is registered at the European Commission with Participant Identification Code (PIC) 900361373.
