Energy labelling and energy efficient design
Energy labelling
If you manufacture or sell household electrical equipment within the European Union, you must provide customers with the energy efficiency rating of your products. You must do this by clearly labelling your products.
If you are buying a household electrical item the energy efficiency rating should be displayed clearly on the product to help you make a better informed decision.
The energy labelling guidance applies to all electric mains-operated household appliances. This includes household appliances that businesses use.
Energy efficient design
Energy efficient design is now a legal requirement for some appliances. It is likely to apply to other products over the next few years.
The energy efficient design guidance applies if you manufacture energy-using products such as boilers, lighting and electrical and electronic equipment.
