Example EU energy label for a refrigerator. EU Directive 92/75/EC (1992) [1] established an energy consumption labelling scheme. The directive was implemented by several other directives [2] thus most white goods, light bulb packaging and cars must have an EU Energy Label clearly displayed when offered for sale or rent.
Classification of eco-labels. Ecolabels (also "Eco-Labels") and Green Stickers are labeling systems for food and consumer products. The use of ecolabels is voluntary, whereas green stickers are mandated by law; for example, in North America major appliances and automobiles use Energy Star.
The EU Ecolabel is part of a broader EU Action Plan on Sustainable Consumption and Production [3] and Sustainable Industrial Policy adopted by the European Commission on 16 July 2008, [4] which also links the EU Ecolabel to other EU policies such as green public procurement (GPP) and Ecodesign of energy-using products.
Standards and Labeling: The BEE has made it mandatory for certain high energy use consumer equipment and appliances to be tested and labeled with their energy performance in order for consumers to be able to make an informed choice about their purchases. The program also allows for some classes of products to volunteer for testing and labeling.
[4] The first appliance labeling rule was established in 1979 and all products were required to carry the label starting in 1980. Energy Star is a similar labeling program, but requires more stringent efficiency standards for an appliance to become qualified, and is not a required program, but rather a voluntary one.
