The European Commission has presented the draft on GEN-926.00 within the Ecodesign and labelling regulations and opened a four-week feedback period that lasts until 31 July. 

According to this, all interested stakeholders are invited to give feedbacks, which will be considered for the final version to be submitted to the Regulatory Committee, where member states will discuss and vote on the proposed text.

The draft presents technical, environmental and economic aspects of servers and data storage products typically placed on the market for the use in data centres, offices and corporate environments. Manufacturers, grouped mainly in the fields of air conditioners, heat exchangers, cooling equipment and others, are important to provide solutions to control the temperature levels in data centres.
