Energy Labelling
What is energy labelling?
Is a way to show energy efficiency in household
appliances, helping the consumer to choose more
efficient equipment and save money.
The label also shows other information which relates to
the use of energy or other resources: e.g. water
consumption, volume of the appliance, etc
Energy labels are mandatory for all appliances placed
on the EU market and should always be clearly
displayed on each appliance at the point of sale.
Energy Labelling
Directives and regulations
Energy Labelling of Energy related Products
Directive 2010/30/EU of 19 May 2010 on the indication by labelling and standard
product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energyrelated products .
The extension of the scope from energy-using to energy-related products (including
construction products) implies that the Directive covers any good having an impact
on energy consumption during use. These products do not consume energy but "have
a significant direct or indirect impact" on energy savings. Examples are window
glazing and outer doors.
The Energy Labelling Directive is what is known as a 'framework directive‘; it does not
specify any limit or performance levels. It provides a legislative framework into which
other directives can be introduced to require marking and performance levels for
particular types of domestic appliance.

Refrigerators and freezers
For the calculation of the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of a household refrigerating
appliance model, the annual energy consumption of the household refrigerating
appliance is compared to its standard annual energy consumption.
The standard annual energy consumption takes into consideration the equivalent
volume of the household refrigerating appliance, the presence of a chill
compartment and other values depending on the appliance category ( for example:
0, 1, 2, 3 star compartments)

Washing machines
For the calculation of the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of a household washing
machine model, the weighted annual energy consumption of a household washing
machine for the standard 60°C cotton programme at full and partial load and for
the standard 40°C cotton programme at partial load is compared to its standard
annual energy consumption.
The annual energy consumption takes into consideration the weighted energy
consumption, the weighted power in ‘off-mode’, weighted power in the ‘left-on
mode’, weighted programme time and the total number of standard washing
cycles per year.
“off-mode” means a condition where the household washing machine is switched off using appliance
controls or switches accessible to and intended for operation by the end-user during normal use to
attain the lowest power consumption that may persist for an indefinite time while the household
washing machine is connected to a power source and used in accordance with the supplier’s
instructions; where there is no control or switch accessible to the end-user, ‘off-mode’ means the
condition reached after the household washing machine reverts to a steady-state power consumption
onits own;
“left-on mode” means the lowest power consumption mode that may persist for an indefinite time after
completion of the programme without any further intervention by the end-user besides unloading of
the household washing machine;

Dishwashers
For the calculation of the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of a household
dishwasher model, the annual energy consumption of the household
dishwasher is compared to its standard annual energy consumption.
The annual energy consumption takes into consideration the energy
consumption for the standard cycle, the power in ‘off-mode’ for the
standard cleaning cycle, the power in the ‘left-on mode’ for the
standard cleaning cycle, the programme time for the standard
cleaning cycle and the total number of standard cleaning cycles per
year.
“cycle” means a complete cleaning, rinsing, and drying process, as defined for the
selected programme.
“programme” means a series of operations that are pre-defined and are declared as
suitable by the supplier for specified levels of soil or type of load, or both, and together form
a complete cycle;

What is the Ecolabel?
• The European Ecolabel is a voluntary scheme, established
in 1992 to encourage businesses to market products and
services that are kinder to the environment.
• Products and services awarded the Ecolabel carry the
flower logo, allowing consumers - including public and
private purchasers - to identify them easily.
• While the logo may be simple, the environmental criteria behind it are
challenging
• The flower logo helps manufacturers, retailers and service providers gain
recognition for good standards, while helping purchasers to make reliable
choices.
Directives and regulations
Reg (EC) No 66/2010

the most significant environmental impacts, in particular the
impact on climate change,
the impact on nature and biodiversity,
energy and resource consumption,
generation of waste,
emissions to all environmental media,
 pollution through physical effects,
use and release of hazardous substances;

What is the Energy Star programme?
• The ENERGY STAR is a voluntary appliance specific label,
identifying to consumers appliances (office equipment)
that meet certain standards regarding energy efficiency.
•It was orginally set up by the US EPA in co-operation with EREN DOE
(Department of Energy, US government) in 1992. In 2001 the European
Union signed an Agreement with US EPA to introduce the ENERGY STAR in
Europe as well (only for office equipment), thereby recognizing eachother
as Partner in the ENERGY STAR programme.
• This allows potential partners in the European Union to sign up through
the European Commission, who is responsible for the EU ENERGY STAR
Programme.
