F.A.Q.

What problem did you encounter?

"The energy label (or the EU label) provided on the low energy consumption information and water consumption data for large household appliances since 1996. And 'required by law and is on the product, both in stores and on both web sites retailers.
The energy label is designed to show consumers the energy efficiency data in summary, in order to allow a better comparison with other products.
Over time, the appliances have become more efficient in terms of cost and energy. For this reason, the EU label is now being updated."

"The European Union issued a mandatory update existing energy label for the following product categories:
- Washing machines
- Washer
- Refrigerators / Freezers
- Dishwasher"

Since March 2021, the new label must be visible on all devices.

"In fact it is quite simple: The normal classes """" plus """", such as A +++, A ++ and A +, are replaced by a uniform energy consumption scale from A to G. The scale of seven colors is maintained . Due to the change of the measurement methods, you can not convert the old label with the new label. only approximate information are possible.
For now, the changes will not affect dryers, ovens and hoods. These categories should be reviewed since 2022. So, it is very likely that you will find a washing machine in the classroom next to a dryer in class A +++."

"With the new energy label introduces some content innovations:
In general, there will be a QR code on any energy labels, which connects to EPREL database of EU products. There you will find more information on the energy label and information on the product of the respective appliance.
The classes ""over"" previous (A +++, A ++ and A +) will no longer apply to the category of washing machines. The energy efficiency classes available then go from A to G.
The consumption of water and electricity is now no longer indicated on the annual value, but respectively for single cycle and 100 cycles.
It 'also the introduction of new classes of noise for the noise of the centrifuge from A-D to make the noise level in dB (A) more transparent."

"As with all new energy labels, there will be QR code for scrubbers, which connects to EPREL database of EU products. There you will find more information on the energy label and data sheet of the respective product.
For washer-dryer area, energy efficiency classes available continue to go from A to G.
The complete layout of this category will be reviewed. The washing and drying zone and the washing zone are shown on their own scale and their values ​​are shown more clearly.
The consumption of water and electricity is now no longer indicated on the annual value, but per cycle or 100 wash cycles.
It 'also the introduction of new classes of noise for the noise of the centrifuge from A-D to make the noise level in dB (A) more transparent."

"As part of the standardization process, the foregoing classes marked with the ""plus"" symbol (A +++, A ++ and A +) have also been substituted for dishwashers with a uniform scale from A to G. According to the previous standard, the new energy efficiency class B corresponds approximately to a device with a +++ -23%.
In the future, will be on energy labels a QR code that links to database EPREL of EU products. There you will find more information on the energy label and data sheet of the respective product.
In addition, new, more realistic requirements are introduced (eg with pots) when specifying covered. Therefore, the values ​​will be different than the old energy label.
The consumption of water and electricity is now indicated it is no longer on the annual value, but per cycle or 100 wash cycles.
It will be also introduced new noise classes A-D to make the noise level in dB (A) more transparent."

"There also will be a QR code on the label of refrigerators and freezers, which connects to EPREL database of EU products. There you will find more information on the energy label and data sheet of the respective appliance.
The previous classes marked ""more"" (A +++, A ++ and A +) will no longer apply to the categories of refrigeration and freezing. The energy efficiency classes available then ranging from A to G. The new energy efficiency class A corresponds to that of a device with A +++ - 60% according to the previous standard.
As before, the electricity consumption is reported on an annual basis.
the new noise classes A-D are introduced to make the noise level in dB (A) more transparent."

"There also will be a QR code on the labels of wine cellars, which connects to EPREL database of EU products. There you will find more information on the energy label and data sheet of the respective product.
The previous classes marked ""more"" (A +++, A ++ and A +) will no longer apply allla cooling section. The energy efficiency classes available then go from A to G.
As before, the electricity consumption is reported on an annual basis.
the new noise classes A-D are introduced to make the noise level in dB (A) more transparent."

"In addition to the change of energy efficiency classes, from 1 March 2021 it shall also apply the new regulation eco design. This sets the eco-design of products, the minimum availability of spare parts and recycling capacity and repair.
The objective is to reduce the environmental impact of appliances, taking into account the entire life cycle."
