The constant... Aktualizováno 17th of January 2020 In March 2021, new energy labels will enter into force, with final format and visualization approved by the European Commission in 2019. The constant technological development, and especially the confusing meaning of the “plus“ signs, caused a comeback to classes A to G without additional signs. But there are even more changes. What will the new energy labels look like and what will change? What does the EU expect from the new Ecodesign regulations and what will the amendment of energy labels bring to the average consumer? We have prepared an overview of the most important things you can expect. New energy labels from March 2021 - CONTENTS Why are energy labels changing When do new energy labels enter into force and which appliances are affected What will the new energy labels look like? Stages of the transition to new labels New requirements for repairability and recyclability of appliances Overview of the individual categories of the new energy labels. What benefits will the new energy labels and Ecodesign regulations bring Should we worry whether the prices of appliances will rise with the new energy labels? Why are energy labels changing Energy labels indicate which energy efficiency category the appliance falls into. It is a comprehensive EU-wide system that helps consumers better understand their electrical appliances and easily identify the most efficient one. At the same time, it motivates manufacturers to come with innovations that will be beneficial for both consumers and the environment. The energy labeling system was introduced in 1995 and has proved very successful. However, the currently used A +, A ++ and A +++ classes, introduced in the 2010 update, have become confusing over time. Most of the new products were in the highest categories (A +, A ++ and A +++), while there were no products in the lowest. This may lead consumers to believe that they are buying one of the most efficient products on the market when buying an A + appliance, but the fact is that the A + category is currently on the third place in terms of energy efficiency. In addition, ever-improving technologies would soon require the addition of another plus sign. A change in the labeling system was therefore inevitable. To get a better idea, the financial difference between the two classes according to the new rating system (e. g. between class C and E) can rise up to CZK 1,750 over 10 years. The Berlaymont building, the seat of the European Commission When do new energy labels enter into force and which appliances are affected In order to make energy labels more comprehensible and clear, and out of consideration for constant technological developments, the EU has announced an update of energy labels. The European Commission has approved new energy labels for 6 groups of appliances (five groups of household appliances with upcoming changes in the original label and a sixth, new group of labeled products). Dishwashers Washing machines and washer-dryers Refrigerators, freezers and wine coolers Light fixtures Electronic displays (TV displays, monitors and digital information displays) Commercial refrigeration equipment with a direct sale function, ie. commercial refrigerators used in shops and vending machines And when will you see new energy labels in stores and on the Internet? The new energy labels will enter into force on 1 March 2021. New labels will appear on light sources from September 1, 2021. For some, it may come as a surprise that besides washing machines and washer-dryers, the list of appliances also lacks the clothes dryers themselves. Not only does the dryer also fall into the category of washing, but consumers often buy it at the same time as the washing machine, and the different markings on the energy label can be confusing for them. However, for other groups of electrical appliances, such as tumble dryers, ovens, boilers and air conditioners, the current energy label will not change. These changes might happen in the coming years. i The new energy labels will come into force on 1 March 2021 and will apply to dishwashers, washing machines and washer-dryers, refrigerators, electronic displays and commercial refrigerators. What will the new energy labels look like? Consumers are certainly most curious about what the new energy labels will look like and what changes we will they bring compared to the original labels . Scale change The main change is the abandonment of classes A +, A ++ and A +++, an their replacement with scale from A to G. So the most energy-efficient product will now be marked with class “A“ and the least efficient product will be marked with class “G“. Changes in the scale, as well as new regulations in the method of measurement, will cause the most efficient products currently classified as A +, A ++ or A +++ to be labeled as B, C or D after the introduction of the changes. The new system will thus provide sufficient space for further technological development and the possibility of appliances moving to higher, even more enery-efficient classes for many years. More information Depending on the product, energy labels will indicate not only electricity consumption but also other energy and non-energy information, such as information on water consumption per wash or wash cycle, storage capacity, noise level, etc. Intuitive graphic features should help to make even better product comparisons and more informed product selection. For refrigerating technology, we will now have information about the volume of the refrigerator or freezer, for wine coolers, the volume will be stated not in liters as before, but in the number of wine bottles with a volume of 0.75 liters. Modification of the measuring methods The new measuring method applies to dishwashers, washing machines and washer dryers. For these appliances, instead of the annual consumption calculated from the annual average consumption, which was often not corresponding with the actual use, the consumption is calculated per 100 washing/drying cycles, which makes this figure clearer and more understandable for consumers. Annual consumption in kWh will stay the same for refrigerators, freezers and wine coolers, as these appliances are in operation 365 days a year. However, the data on the old and the new labels may differ, as even here the measuring method has changed, and is now more accurate. Eco mode as a new common indicator Another innovation is the Eco mode, which used as an indicator measuring water consumption, program length, noise and other parameters for washing machines, dishwashers and also washer dryers. It was the Eco mode that was chosen for these appliances as a common indicator, which can consumer use to compare the important values of different appliances. Design of new energy labels for dishwashers, washing machines and washer-dryers More information about the product via QR code Certainly a welcome innovation is the possibility for the public to enter the product registration database called EPREL, which will allow consumers to make even more accurate and detailed comparisons between products. What is it about? EPREL is an online EU database where manufacturers are required to register their products placed on the market from 1 August 2017, including the detailed technical documentation necessary to check compliance. The EPREL database thus enables greater transparency and easier monitoring of compliance. And how does the consumer access this information? You can use the QR code, which you will find on the new energy label. After scanning this QR code with a smartphone or tablet, you will get additional non-commercial information about the product. A variety of applications will also be available to help consumers make purchase decisions. These applications will offer for example various return calculations or comparisons of individual models. i A new element of energy labels will be a QR code, through which consumers will get more detailed (non-commercial) information about the chosen product. Stages of the transition to new labels The change in the labeling system is quite an important one for consumers, but you don't have to worry about it coming all of the sudden, unnoticed. The whole process of relabeling will have several phases and will be accompanied by a media campaign aimed at citizens, which will be launched in early 2021, ie. before the official introduction of the new labels. This EU-wide campaign should explain to consumers everything they need to know about labeling changes. Transition from old to new labeling In the first stage, ie. from 1 November 2020 to 28 February 2021, manufacturers will attach both energy labels to the packaging of the products concerned - the current label and the new label. From 1 March 2021, these electrical appliances will only come with one energy label - the new one. The second stage is reserved for relabeling in stores and e-shops and will last 14 working days, ie. from 1 March 2021 to 18 March 2021. During this transitional period, the product may be marked with only one type of label, either old or new. As the procedure described above implies, until February 28, 2021, you can find two energy labels in some of the new electrical appliances. However, this is not a mistake, but a thoughtful step to facilitate the whole process of relabeling in stores and e-shops. i From 1 November 2020, manufacturers will include in the product packaging both the current energy label, valid until 28 February 2021, and a new one valid from 1 March 2021. New requirements for repairability and recyclability of appliances Resource efficiency, reducing energy consumption and wasting energy are becoming increasingly important in the EU. Therefore, the energy labeling scheme is also accompanied by the new Ecodesign Regulation. At the beginning of July 2019, the European Commission should adopt a set of 11 Ecodesign regulations covering the same number of product groups - 6 product groups with changed and new labels (dishwashers, washing machines, washer-dryers, refrigerators, lamps, electronic displays, commercial refrigerators) and 5 product groups for which the use of labels is not planned (electric motors, external power supplies, power transformers, servers, data storage and welding equipment). The new ecodesign regulations are intended to support the circular economy and make even greater energy savings. Emphasis is therefore placed primarily on the repairability of products, their easy disassembly, the availability of spare parts, the possibility of modernization and, of course, recycling. Design of the new energy labels for refrigerators and wine coolers. Overview of individual categories of the new energy labels Below you can see the designs of the new energy labels valid from March 1, 2021 with a detailed description and explanation of individual symbols. The new energy label for refrigerators and dishwashers. The new energy label for washing machines and washer dryers. The the new energy label for lighting fixtures, televisions, monitors, displays and wine coolers. What benefits will the new energy labels and Ecodesign regulations bring? The new energy labels will be much more clear and transparent. They will provide consumers with more comprehensible and comparable information, which will help them make better decisions when buying a new appliance. Another benefit is that the new method of labeling will be able to keep pace with technological progress, as it provides a sufficient space for improving and enhancing the energy efficiency of appliances. Last but not least, the new energy labeling regulation should make a significant contribution to the EU's long-term energy and climate goals. The internal estimation of the European Commission assume that the new labels should provide a total annual energy saving of 38 TWh by 2030, which corresponds to the annual electricity consumption in Hungary. In conjunction with the 11 regulations of the Ecodesign, these measures are expected to bring additional total annual energy savings of 94 TWh by 2030, which is more than the annual electricity consumption in Belgium and Luxembourg. Design of new energy labels for light fixtures and electronic displays i In early 2021, a media campaign for EU citizens will be launched to explain everything they need to know about changes in the labeling system. Should we worry whether the prices of appliances will rise with the new energy labels? It is necessary to understand that every innovation will be reflected in the final price of the appliance. However, experts say that this whole change is in the interest of the market as a whole. We should therefore consider buying an appliance as an investment in our own household and, if possible, pay more for an appliance with low energy consumption and a long-term guarantee of repairability than buying an appliance for a third of the price, as this low price will automatically be reflected in lifespan and operating costs. i How to clean a ceramic hob (TIPS AND TRICKS) How to dry clothes in a dryer (TIPS AND TRICKS) How to clean a washing machine (TIPS AND TRICKS) How to look after your freezer (TIPS AND TRICKS) How to clean an extractor hood (TIPS AND TRICKS) How to look after your refrigerator?

Why are energy labels changing

Energy labels indicate which energy efficiency category the appliance falls into. It is a comprehensive EU-wide system that helps consumers better understand their electrical appliances and easily identify the most efficient one. At the same time, it motivates manufacturers to come with innovations that will be beneficial for both consumers and the environment.

The energy labeling system was introduced in 1995 and has proved very successful. However, the currently used A +, A ++ and A +++ classes, introduced in the 2010 update, have become confusing over time. Most of the new products were in the highest categories (A +, A ++ and A +++), while there were no products in the lowest. This may lead consumers to believe that they are buying one of the most efficient products on the market when buying an A + appliance, but the fact is that the A + category is currently on the third place in terms of energy efficiency. In addition, ever-improving technologies would soon require the addition of another plus sign. A change in the labeling system was therefore inevitable.

To get a better idea, the financial difference between the two classes according to the new rating system (e. g. between class C and E) can rise up to CZK 1,750 over 10 years.

Electronic displays (TV displays, monitors and digital information displays)
Commercial refrigeration equipment with a direct sale function, ie. commercial refrigerators used in shops and vending machines

And when will you see new energy labels in stores and on the Internet? The new energy labels will enter into force on 1 March 2021. New labels will appear on light sources from September 1, 2021.

For some, it may come as a surprise that besides washing machines and washer-dryers, the list of appliances also lacks the clothes dryers themselves. Not only does the dryer also fall into the category of washing, but consumers often buy it at the same time as the washing machine, and the different markings on the energy label can be confusing for them. However, for other groups of electrical appliances, such as tumble dryers, ovens, boilers and air conditioners, the current energy label will not change. These changes might happen in the coming years.

i The new energy labels will come into force on 1 March 2021 and will apply to dishwashers, washing machines and washer-dryers, refrigerators, electronic displays and commercial refrigerators.

What will the new energy labels look like?

Consumers are certainly most curious about what the new energy labels will look like and what changes we will they bring compared to the original labels

Scale change

The main change is the abandonment of classes A +, A ++ and A +++, an their replacement with scale from A to G. So the most energy-efficient product will now be marked with class “A“ and the least efficient product will be marked with class “G“. Changes in the scale, as well as new regulations in the method of measurement, will cause the most efficient products currently classified as A +, A ++ or A +++ to be labeled as B, C or D after the introduction of the changes. The new system will thus provide sufficient space for further technological development and the possibility of appliances moving to higher, even more enery-efficient classes for many years.

More information

Depending on the product, energy labels will indicate not only electricity consumption but also other energy and non-energy information, such as information on water consumption per wash or wash cycle, storage capacity, noise level, etc. Intuitive graphic features should help to make even better product comparisons and more informed product selection. For refrigerating technology, we will now have information about the volume of the refrigerator or freezer, for wine coolers, the volume will be stated not in liters as before, but in the number of wine bottles with a volume of 0.75 liters.

Modification of the measuring methods

The new measuring method applies to dishwashers, washing machines and washer dryers. For these appliances, instead of the annual consumption calculated from the annual average consumption, which was often not corresponding with the actual use, the consumption is calculated per 100 washing/drying cycles, which makes this figure clearer and more understandable for consumers. Annual consumption in kWh will stay the same for refrigerators, freezers and wine coolers, as these appliances are in operation 365 days a year. However, the data on the old and the new labels may differ, as even here the measuring method has changed, and is now more accurate.

Eco mode as a new common indicator

Another innovation is the Eco mode, which used as an indicator measuring water consumption, program length, noise and other parameters for washing machines, dishwashers and also washer dryers. It was the Eco mode that was chosen for these appliances as a common indicator, which can consumer use to compare the important values of different appliances.

More information about the product via QR code

Certainly a welcome innovation is the possibility for the public to enter the product registration database called EPREL, which will allow consumers to make even more accurate and detailed comparisons between products. What is it about? EPREL is an online EU database where manufacturers are required to register their products placed on the market from 1 August 2017, including the detailed technical documentation necessary to check compliance. The EPREL database thus enables greater transparency and easier monitoring of compliance.

And how does the consumer access this information? You can use the QR code, which you will find on the new energy label. After scanning this QR code with a smartphone or tablet, you will get additional non-commercial information about the product. A variety of applications will also be available to help consumers make purchase decisions. These applications will offer for example various return calculations or comparisons of individual models.

i A new element of energy labels will be a QR code, through which consumers will get more detailed (non-commercial) information about the chosen product.

Stages of the transition to new labels

The change in the labeling system is quite an important one for consumers, but you don't have to worry about it coming all of the sudden, unnoticed. The whole process of relabeling will have several phases and will be accompanied by a media campaign aimed at citizens, which will be launched in early 2021, ie. before the official introduction of the new labels. This EU-wide campaign should explain to consumers everything they need to know about labeling changes.

Transition from old to new labeling

In the first stage, ie. from 1 November 2020 to 28 February 2021, manufacturers will attach both energy labels to the packaging of the products concerned - the current label and the new label. From 1 March 2021, these electrical appliances will only come with one energy label - the new one.
The second stage is reserved for relabeling in stores and e-shops and will last 14 working days, ie. from 1 March 2021 to 18 March 2021. During this transitional period, the product may be marked with only one type of label, either old or new.

As the procedure described above implies, until February 28, 2021, you can find two energy labels in some of the new electrical appliances. However, this is not a mistake, but a thoughtful step to facilitate the whole process of relabeling in stores and e-shops.

i From 1 November 2020, manufacturers will include in the product packaging both the current energy label, valid until 28 February 2021, and a new one valid from 1 March 2021.

New requirements for repairability and recyclability of appliances

Resource efficiency, reducing energy consumption and wasting energy are becoming increasingly important in the EU. Therefore, the energy labeling scheme is also accompanied by the new Ecodesign Regulation.

At the beginning of July 2019, the European Commission should adopt a set of 11 Ecodesign regulations covering the same number of product groups - 6 product groups with changed and new labels (dishwashers, washing machines, washer-dryers, refrigerators, lamps, electronic displays, commercial refrigerators) and 5 product groups for which the use of labels is not planned (electric motors, external power supplies, power transformers, servers, data storage and welding equipment).

The new ecodesign regulations are intended to support the circular economy and make even greater energy savings. Emphasis is therefore placed primarily on the repairability of products, their easy disassembly, the availability of spare parts, the possibility of modernization and, of course, recycling.

Overview of individual categories of the new energy labels

Below you can see the designs of the new energy labels valid from March 1, 2021 with a detailed description and explanation of individual symbols.

What benefits will the new energy labels and Ecodesign regulations bring?

The new energy labels will be much more clear and transparent. They will provide consumers with more comprehensible and comparable information, which will help them make better decisions when buying a new appliance. Another benefit is that the new method of labeling will be able to keep pace with technological progress, as it provides a sufficient space for improving and enhancing the energy efficiency of appliances.

Last but not least, the new energy labeling regulation should make a significant contribution to the EU's long-term energy and climate goals. The internal estimation of the European Commission assume that the new labels should provide a total annual energy saving of 38 TWh by 2030, which corresponds to the annual electricity consumption in Hungary. In conjunction with the 11 regulations of the Ecodesign, these measures are expected to bring additional total annual energy savings of 94 TWh by 2030, which is more than the annual electricity consumption in Belgium and Luxembourg.

i In early 2021, a media campaign for EU citizens will be launched to explain everything they need to know about changes in the labeling system.

Should we worry whether the prices of appliances will rise with the new energy labels?

It is necessary to understand that every innovation will be reflected in the final price of the appliance. However, experts say that this whole change is in the interest of the market as a whole. We should therefore consider buying an appliance as an investment in our own household and, if possible, pay more for an appliance with low energy consumption and a long-term guarantee of repairability than buying an appliance for a third of the price, as this low price will automatically be reflected in lifespan and operating costs.

Smart phones

The trend today in the smartphones is increasing the size of their displays. Gone are the days when we
were looking at a one-line displays, today we can see 4 ", 5" and a Nexus 6 even has a 6-inch display.

With the size of the display hand in hand increases the size of the device itself, which may be disadvantage for some. One disadvantage is that it is less convenient to carry. 4-inch smart phone can be operated with one hand, a larger display, however, requires the involvement of both hands. Larger screen, is great for surfing the Internet, playing games or watching videos or looking at photos. Device with display between 5 and 7 inches is sometimes called phablet, somewhere between phone and tablet.

Tablets

The era of the tablets was launched in 2010 by the iPad. Supporters of tablets appreciate their ease of use and mobility. 6 "to 7" tablets are light, 8 "and 10" represent a good compromise between mobility and usability and a 12 "tablet is primarily for work.

Notebooks

Diagonal size of a laptop is one of the fundamental parameters when purchasing it. The most widespread dimension is the 15.6 ".

Usually the displays for notebooks:

11.6 "- for those who are constantly on the move
13.3 "- for travel and also work in the office
14 "- for travel and work in the office
15.6 "- for office work, games and multimedia
17.3 "- for office work, games and multimedia
