Abstract
The article concerns including of environmental aspects during design phase of households appliances. The assessment criteria for this kind of products from EU regulations have been characterized. Based on them additional set of indicators have been proposed. The indicators have been implemented into agent system that supports the designer during the design phase in the product lifecycle, thus enabling the assessment of influence of changes in the design on its ecological properties. The structure of the agent system have been also described.
