The EU energy label rates products from A down to G . By law, the label must be shown on all refrigeration and laundry appliances, dishwashers, electric ovens and light bulb packaging. The most efficient products also carry the energy saving recommended logo.

The labels also give other useful information to the customer as they choose between various models. The information should also be given in catalogues and included by internet retailers on their websites.

The EU Ecolabel makes it easier for consumers to choose green products.
