European Energy Label
|
All recommended energy efficient appliances like refrigerators and washing machines will carry the European Energy label (see left).
The EU energy label rates products from A++ (the most efficient/least energy used), down to G (the least efficient/most energy used).
By law, the label must be shown on all refrigeration and laundry appliances, dishwashers, electric ovens and lightbulb packaging.
Products that display the Energy Efficiency Recommended logo meet or exceed specified energy efficiency requirements and are backed by the Government.
