R&D ยท EPREL Public API

A trusted data layer for physical products.

AssetGraph is a research and development project exploring how public product data, including EPREL, can support reliable product identity, compatibility and lifecycle information through structured APIs.

Energy label data is public. Using it isn't simple.

Since 2021, most major appliance and electronics categories sold in the EU have been required to carry a registered entry in EPREL, the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling. The registry is open by design, but the tools built around it are meant for manual lookups, not for the product catalogues, compliance workflows, and spec sheets that manufacturers and retailers actually run on. Getting a single label value into a system usually still means someone copying numbers by hand.

EPREL — the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling. Operated by the European Commission, it holds the mandatory energy label and product data for regulated categories, from refrigerators to light sources to tyres.

AssetGraph is an independent research project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the European Commission or EPREL.

Approach

Four things we're building around

Compliance first

Every integration is designed around the rules that govern the registry itself, not around the fastest way to scrape it.

Structured by default

Label data comes back typed and validated against a clear schema, not as a page of text to re-parse downstream.

Traceable

Every record links back to its source entry in EPREL, so nothing downstream is asserted that can't be checked.

Built with, not just for

Early research includes direct conversations with the manufacturers and retailers who will depend on this data.

Research status

Where the work stands today

01

Scoping

Mapping which product categories and label fields matter most for real integrations.

02

API application

Formal application for programmatic access to the EPREL Public API through the European Commission.

03

Schema design

Translating the registry's structure into a clean, versioned data model.

04

Pilot access

Early integration with a small number of design partners ahead of wider availability.

API access application in progress

AssetGraph is pre-launch. We're building in the open and looking for a small number of design partners to shape the first release.
