The Energy Label
Colourful A-to-G rainbow
Welcome!
This is APPLiA's one-stop-shop for suppliers, dealers & consumers.
It is only the label that changes,
not the energy consumption.
On March 1st 2021, a new energy label appeared in shops and online.
A fresh restart making room for further innovations.
​
A video explanation by APPLiA is available in 15 languages on YouTube.
Appliances with new energy label as from 1 March 2021
Appliances that will be
subject to future rescale
Information on the rescale of other home appliances will be made available upon publication of the Regulations by the Commission
Beyond energy efficiency
EPREL - the European Product Database for Energy Labelling
To ensure a smooth transition from the old labels to the new ones, the European Commission developed an online registry to help consumers, manufacturers and retailers along the way.
With EPREL everyone can search for energy labels and product information sheets directly through a QR Code.
News and updates
-
On July 2024 the Commission published a clarification on how suppliers and retailers of energy-labelled products should show energy label classes in their visual advertising and promotional material.
Economic operators must now use a letter in an arrow alongside the relevant range of classes in their visual advertising of domestic ovens and range hoods, including catalogues and other promotion materials. And suppliers of other energy-labelled products which have not yet been rescaled should also include such a pictogram with the relevant range wherever possible.

On April 2024, the European Commission communicated that without a specification in the Delegated Acts how to grey energy classes, the provision in the energy labelling regulations do not have any direct applicability. The decision not to specify the greying of energy classes in the Delegated Acts is deliberate and attempts to implement greying without only based on the energy labelling regulation would interfere with legal integrity.

By law, manufacturers shall include both the existing & rescaled labels with the product
New labels for dishwashers, washing machines, washer-dryers, fridges & freezers, wine storages
New label for
Tumble Dryers
Double labelling:
why two different labels in shops?
In shops and online some appliances display the new label - with the QR code on it - others the old one. Why is it so?
This happens when a product is in a transition phase between the old and new Energy Label. Tumble Dryers, for example, will have the new Energy Label as of 1 July 2025. This means that between 1 March 2025 and 1 July 2025, these products might also display the old generation label.
