From the 1st of March 2021 household refrigerators and freezers, washing machines, TVs and other electrical appliances will have a new energy label – What changes is the European Union promoting?.
From the 1st of March 2021 household refrigerators and freezers, washing machines and washing machines–dryers clothes, washing machines dishes, televisions and electronic imaging devices, wine preservers, but also light bulbs they will have news energy tag.
Based on reviews made by Ευρωπαϊκή Ενωση στη νέα ετικέτα θα επισημαίνονται μόνο οι ενεργειακές τάξεις Α έως G.Κατά τη διάρκεια της μεταβατικής περιόδου (November 2020-March 2021), There may be two energy labels on the packaging of a product. The one (current) που παρουσιάζει την ενεργειακή απόδοση του προϊόντος με βάση την κλίμακα A+++ έως D, and the other (new) showing the energy efficiency of the same product based on the revised κλίμακα A έως G.
What are the key differences between the current and the new label?
Μια κοινή κλίμακα τάξεων ενεργειακής απόδοσης από A έως G θα χρησιμοποιείται για όλες τις ομάδες προϊόντων.
- In the upper right corner of the label will be written the code QR, ο οποίος θα παρέχει σύνδεση με τη βάση δεδομένων EPREL της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής που θα υποστηρίζει τη διαφάνεια και την ευκολότερη εποπτεία της αγοράς από τις αρμόδιες εθνικές αρχές.
- The energy consumption of the products will be indicated in a more visible and uniform way in the middle part of the label.
- The lower part of the label will include pictograms showing information about selected product features. Some pictograms are the same as the current labels, others have been revised, while there are some new ones.
- In more detail, in refrigerators and freezers the differences from the current label (in addition to the energy efficiency scale) are the different pictograms for the volume of the refrigeration and freezing chamber and for the noise emissions and an additional indication of the noise emission class.
The differences between old and new labels in washing machines are as follows:
- Weighted energy consumption per 100 washing cycles.
- Rated capacity for the program "Eco 40-60".
- Weighted water consumption per wash cycle.
- Noise level only for the spin phase and not for the wash phase and additional indication of the noise emission class.
- Duration of the program "Eco 40-60".
Regarding the washers - dryers, the differences are located in the following:
- Weighted energy consumption per 100 washing cycles.
- Rated capacity for the cycle "wash & drying "and for the" wash "cycle.
- Weighted water consumption for the wash cycle & drying "and for the" wash "cycle.
- Noise level for spin operation and indication of noise emission class.
- Cycle duration for the cycle "wash & drying "and for the" wash "cycle.
- In dishwashers the differences in relation to the current label (in addition to the energy efficiency scale) are located in energy consumption per 100 washing cycles in the Eco program, in water consumption per wash cycle in the Eco program, during Eco program and in noise emissions and noise emission class.
For TVs the differences are as follows:
- Energy consumption in operating mode per 1000 hours while playing SDR content.
- Energy consumption in operating mode per 1000 hours when playing HDR content.
- The power indicator has been removed (W).
- The visible switch indicator has been removed.
- Indication of horizontal and vertical resolution in pixels.
- For light bulbs old and new energy labels are the same.
Wine preservers will have a new pictogram for the number of standard wine bottles that can be stored and a different pictogram for noise emissions and an additional indication of the noise emission class.
