The August 1 came into force on Regulation (EU) 2017 / 1369 of the European Parliament and the 4 Council of July of 2017 establishing a framework for energy labeling and repealing Directive 2010 / 30 / EU. This regulation aims to provide users with the ability to choose more efficient products to reduce their energy consumption.

As indicated in the Official Journal of the European Union, this Regulation establishes a framework that applies to energy-related products introduced in the market or put into service and regulates the information that should appear in the energy labeling of said products. products, namely, energy efficiency and energy consumption during their use, thus allowing customers to choose more efficient products.

Information on efficient and sustainable energy-related products is a significant contribution to energy savings and reduction of the energy bill, promoting innovation at the same time and investments in the production of increasingly efficient products from the energy point of view. Improving the efficiency of energy-related products through well-founded customer choices and harmonizing related requirements at Union level also benefits manufacturers, the industry and the economy of the Union in general.

It has been found that the classification used by the A to G lyrics It is the most profitable for the clients. It is intended that a uniform application of this scale in the product groups increases transparency and understanding among customers.

Manufacturers respond to the energy label creating and introducing increasingly efficient products into the market. In parallel, they tend to interrupt the production of less efficient products, encouraged to do so by EU law in the field of ecological design. As a consequence of that technological evolution, most of the product models are concentrated in the upper classes of the energy label.
