Labelling for household appliances
Household appliances marketed in the European Union (EU) must comply with the general
labelling requirements laid down by Directive 1992/75/EEC (OJ L-297 13/10/1992) and with the
specific label models set out by the products Directives for each group of appliances.
Product scope
The labelling scheme covers refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers,
ovens, water heaters and hot-water storage, lighting sources and air-conditioning, although
further types of domestic appliances may be added.
The Directive requires that household appliances offered for sale, hire or hire-purchase be
accompanied by a fiche and a label. Besides, appliances must bear the CE conformity marking
and comply with the marking requirements laid down in the Directives regulating the technical
standards ( low voltage, hosehold refrigeration applainces, gas household appliances, airconditioning etc)
A. Label
The label conveys information on the energy efficiency of a particular model through colours,
arrows and the alphabet. The A-G scale ranks appliances from the best (A) to the worst (G);
while a corresponding colour code, uses green to denote "more efficient" and red for "less
efficient".
For domestic refrigeration appliances, the existing energy efficiency-rating category of A is
divided into 3 new categories (A, A+ and A++) where A++ indicates "more efficient".
The standard model of label is divided into four zones, which respectively include:




The data, which refers to the manufacturer and the model of appliance.
The appliance's energy efficiency class, according to the above alphabet grade; the
corresponding colour code with arrows of different colours and the average consumption
in kWh/year. If the appliance has obtained the European ecological label, the symbol,
which indicates this, may be in this area.
The specific data according to each type of appliance (e.g. size, capacity , air cooled
or water cooled, water consumption).
The noise level that the appliance emits while working, (airborne noise) measured in
decibels when this information is mandatory pursuant to Directive 1986/594/EEC.
B. Fiche
The energy label has to be supported by an information fiche providing basic data relating to
the particular model of appliance. This fiche has to be contained in all product brochures and if
these are not provided, in all other product literature supplied with the appliance.
C. Sales by catalogue, Internet or other electronic media
Where appliances are offered for sale, hire or hire-purchase by catalogue or by other means
whereby the potential customer is unable to see the appliance displayed, the essential
information contained in the standard label and fiche must be provided to the potential
customer before purchase.
D. Implementation of the labelling scheme
The responsibility for implementing the labelling scheme falls mainly on the suppliers. Either
the manufacturer, his authorised representative in the EU or the person who places the
product on the market shall:





Supply the label to the dealer free of charge to be attached to the appliance in the
appropriate position
Supply the product fiche to the dealer.
Assume responsibility for the accuracy of the label and fiche.
Establish technical information sufficient to enable the accuracy of the information
contained in the label and the fiche to be assessed.
Make the technical information available for inspection purposes.
