COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 12.1.2021 on a standardisation request to the European standardisation organisations in support of Regulation (EU) 2019/424 as regards ecodesign requirements for servers and data storage products
This mandate requests the European standardisation organisations to develop standards supporting Regulation (EU) 2019/424, which sets ecodesign requirements for servers and data storage products. The standards aim to ensure that these products meet specific environmental and energy efficiency criteria, facilitating compliance and promoting sustainability within the EU market. The standardisation activities will provide a technical framework to implement the regulation effectively, helping manufacturers and stakeholders align with the established ecodesign objectives.
Purpose
The mandate M/573 aims to support the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2019/424 by addressing ecodesign requirements for servers and data storage products. The goal is to facilitate the development of harmonised standards that ensure these products meet environmental performance criteria, contributing to energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact within the European Union.
Standardisation request
This mandate requests European standardisation organisations to develop and adopt standards related to the ecodesign of servers and data storage products. These standards are intended to provide technical specifications and criteria that manufacturers must follow to comply with the requirements laid out in Regulation (EU) 2019/424. Emphasis is placed on defining performance metrics, energy consumption, and possibly material or lifecycle considerations relevant to these products.
Expected deliverables
The expected deliverables include a set of harmonised European standards that directly support Regulation (EU) 2019/424. These standards should cover methodologies for measuring and verifying the energy efficiency and environmental performance of servers and data storage products. The deliverables will enable consistent application of ecodesign requirements throughout the EU market, assisting manufacturers, regulators, and market surveillance authorities.
Context
This standardisation mandate is part of the European Commission’s broader ecodesign policy framework aiming to improve the environmental performance of energy-related products. By setting clear requirements for servers and data storage products, the mandate supports sustainable digital infrastructure and energy savings in data centres and related sectors. It complements other EU initiatives targeting reduced energy consumption and the circular economy.
This mandate covers the standardisation of ecodesign requirements for servers and data storage products, focusing on improving energy efficiency and environmental performance in these product categories within the European Union.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/573 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 12.1.2021 on a standardisation request to the European standardisation organisations in support of Regulation (EU) 2019/424 as regards ecodesign requirements for servers and data storage products". COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 12.1.2021 on a standardisation request to the European standardisation organisations in support of Regulation (EU) 2019/424 as regards ecodesign requirements for servers and data storage products There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
