How to create energy label

Obligations of manufacturers and resellers

If you are an EU-based manufacturer, an importer or an authorised representative of a non-EU manufacturer, you must do the following before placing a product on the EU market:

  • register all products requiring an energy label in the European Product Database for Energy Labelling (EPREL)
  • ensure that every appliance you sell that requires it bears a compliant energy label
  • provide the labels and product information sheet to dealers free of charge
  • ensure that labels are affixed so they are visible and legible in shops and for online sales

The EPREL database will generate all energy labels based on the data you entered when registering your product models. For more information, check out the various energy labelling tools.

EPREL product database

All products requiring energy labels must be registered in the EPREL database before they can be sold on the EU market. The information you need to submit includes:

  • product information sheet
  • technical documentation
  • compliance monitoring

The first step you need to take is to create a ‘new supplier organisation’ (= your company) on the EPREL website. This will include creating an EU login account. The EU login account will also provide access to the EPREL guidelines for information on the registration process.

Online or other distance selling

If you sell products to customers without any face‑to‑face contact, you must still provide the energy label information. For internet sales, you must clearly display, near the price and in the same font size, the product’s:

  • energy label

or

  • energy class with a nested arrow that links to the energy label

Staying up to date

As technologies evolve, so do the rules. Requirements that can change include product information that you must make available, indicators used to rank a product and where labels must be placed. You should monitor:
