How to recognise a rescaled product?

• The new labels will contain a simpler scale (A to G) and it will be easier to compare the energy efficiency between  different products.
• The EU energy label is language neutral, a must as there are 24 official languages within the EU internal market.
• By scanning a QR code in the upper right corner, consumers will have access to more detailed product information in the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling, called EPREL.  This database will be accessible to the public at the end of 2020. The EPREL database will help national market surveillance authorities to verify that the products comply with requirements on energy efficiency and that the information on the label is correct.
• The new labels can also feature icons that show information like product capacity or dimensions, noise level or water consumption, providing at a glance useful information to the consumers.

Innovation and product development of even more energy efficient, sustainable products continue, and further rescaling will be necessary also in the future, when the A and B categories become largely populated.
