Recital 76

(76) In order to improve future ecodesign requirements and improve end users’ confidence with regard to identifying and correcting deviations between energy in-use and other performance parameters when measured under test conditions and actual functioning, the Commission should have access to non-personal data about products’ actual energy consumption while in use and where relevant to other performance parameters. To that end, the power to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by requiring that individual products, similarly to road vehicles, record their consumption and other relevant performance parameters and display the related data to the end user. For products connected to the internet, the power to adopt delegated acts should be delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by requiring economic operators to remotely collect non-personal in-use data and report those data to the Commission, as it is essential to identify how the products perform and to inform the public. For products whose in-use performance depends significantly also on climatic or geographical conditions, general climatic or geographical information should also be collected and reported, in a way that does not allow the specific location of individual appliances to be determined. End users should expressly agree to the collection of information that they consider is appropriate to share. Collection of information about the behaviour of appliances that occurs in a context in which an individual can reasonably expect that no observation or recording is taking place, or collection of information which could provide or which could allow the identification of individuals or the inference of their behaviour should not be allowed.
