According to the new regulations of the Amazon platform, energy efficiency labels must be issued before March 3, 2023, otherwise they will be banned from sale on Amazon and other platforms, including but not limited to the following products: lighting equipment, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, display screens, heaters, Tumble dryer, dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator, etc.
Many sellers who don’t have time or don’t know how to operate can ask third-party laboratory professionals to help them register. The time is about 2-3 working days.
The European Commission (European Commission) passed a series of new regulations and new styles of EU energy efficiency labels on March 11, 2019, and announced on December 5, 2019 that the effective date of the new regulations will be 20 days after the release, that is, 2019 It officially came into effect on December 25, and the full enforcement date is March 1, 2021.
1. On March 11, 2019, the European Union issued a draft resolution to abolish the EU Ecodesign Directive (EC)/2009 from April 1, 2021, and implement a new draft.
2. On December 5, 2019, the European Union published the L 315 legislation in its official journal. The effective date of the new regulations is 20 days after the release, that is, December 25, 2019, and the full enforcement date is March 1, 2021.
1. Scope of application
On March 11, 2019, the final style and appearance of the new energy efficiency labels for six categories of products approved by the European Commission, including:
5 categories of household products, whose original energy efficiency labels have been adjusted:
1) Dishwasher;
2) washing machine and drying machine;
3) Refrigerators, including wine cabinets;
4) lights;
5) Electronic displays, including televisions, computer monitors, and digital signage displays
1 large category of commercial products, for which a new logo style is adopted:
Refrigerated appliances (also known as "commercial refrigerators") with outlets for stores and vending machines
1. Added QR code
Function: After scanning the QR code with a mobile phone, you can get more official information about the product
2. Product information is more detailed
The new version of the energy efficiency label launched this time not only shows consumers the power consumption of the product, but also displays other energy-related or non-energy-related information, such as: the water consumption of each dishwashing cycle of the dishwasher, the capacity of the refrigerator, noise etc. It can be said that to a large extent, it serves consumers who purchase related products.
The new labels also contain symbols or pictograms that provide information on the attributes of the product, such as capacity, screen size, volume or water consumption, among others. Make product attributes more intuitive.
3. Hierarchy changes
The original EU energy efficiency label has A+++, A++, A+ grades, and the new EU energy efficiency label cancels the grades above A+, and only adopts the energy efficiency grades from A to G. In the original grade label, it will be misleading to some extent, causing consumers to prefer high energy efficiency grades (A+++, A++, A+), while low-efficiency products have almost no "sense of presence", which also leads consumers to think that A+ energy efficiency grades The product is the most energy efficient on the market, but it is not.
Therefore, this reform returns to the well-known and effective "from A to G" energy efficiency label, so that consumers can better understand the product itself.
The new energy efficiency ratings are as follows:
Label energy efficiency rating calculation: ƞTM = (Φuse / Pon) X FTM unit: (lm/W)
Energy efficiency rating | Total efficiency ηm (Im/W) |
A (highest grade) | 210≤ηm |
B | 185≤ηm< 210 |
C | 160≤ηm< 185 |
D. | 135≤ηm< 160 |
E. | 110≤ηm< 135 |
f | 85≤ηm<110 |
G (lowest efficiency) | ηTM< 85 |
