What is the Energy Efficiency Label?
The EU Energy Efficiency Labeling is a requirement for manufacturers to label their products with information such as the energy efficiency level and annual energy consumption of the product, which provides users and consumers with the necessary information for their purchasing decisions, in order to guide and help consumers to choose energy-efficient and energy-saving products and reduce energy consumption.
The European Union has established the European Energy Labeled Products Database EPREL for this purpose, and all energy-related products must be registered in the EPREL database with the required EU energy efficiency label.
Old and New Changes in Energy Efficiency Labeling
Previously, the EU energy label grades were A+++ to D. However, as the difference between A++ and A+++ was less obvious to consumers, the new energy label was gradually introduced in the EU from March 1, 2021 onwards.i.e., grades A to GIf you are still using the old version, please contact us to re-register. So, if you are still using the old version, please contact us to re-register.

When does the policy go into effect?
Statute Effective Date: January 1, 2019
Amazon Platform Mandatory Time: March 3, 2023
Who needs to register for the Energy Efficiency Label?
Producers and sellers who place 'energy-related products' on the EU/UK market are required to register energy labeled products.
Which product categories require registration of energy efficiency labels?
You can click directly on the EU website https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/home查詢 and the following are the broad categories within the scope of the regulation for which a label is required to be registered.
What specific products need to be registered?
The 31 product groups listed in the table below are products that require registration
What should a compliant seller do?
Step 1:
Choose a qualified and professional service provider after confirming that the product meets the EU energy efficiency requirements;
Step 2:
Send a sample of your untested product to the lab;
Step 3:
The laboratory will test your product and issue a report in about 1-2 weeks;
Step 4:
The green circle says that the cross-border will apply for the energy label and the energy efficiency table of the product for you;
Step 5:
Upload your energy efficiency labeling information to the sales platform;
Step 6:
Label your products and packaging with the Energy Efficiency Label.
The Consequences of Non-Compliance
1) Inability to enter many EU countries, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and other station sellers;
(2) The platform may take down the product, or in serious cases, the store may ban the product and freeze the payment;
(3) The Environmental Protection Bureau and other regulatory bureaus audit, inspection, non-compliance with energy efficiency regulations of the product can be up to a maximum fine of more than 10W euros, the retroactive period of up to 10 years.
How do I get the Energy Efficiency Label?
For every product registered and tested across borders in the Green Circle, a qualified and valid energy label is provided directly to you, as well as a product information sheet in all official EU languages for your use.
Energy Efficiency Label Printing Requirements
Different types of product labels have different specifications, but the printing standard is basically the same:
Standard size label at least: 36mm*72mm
Small size label at least: 20mm*54mm
How to Upload Energy Efficiency Tags to Amazon Backend
(1) Obtain delivery of the energy efficiency label (green circle says cross-border are in the original format issued directly from the official website);
2) Once you have the file, upload the color label and the product information form on the platform at the same time and make sure to upload the file in JPG format and name the file according to Amazon's requirements;
3) Edit product processing to improve information related to energy efficiency;
4）Wait for 24 hours, and after the review is correct, it will be displayed in the store front link, which means the label has been uploaded successfully.
Do I need to renew my energy label?
You can register once, no need to renew. As long as the law remains unchanged, the label will remain valid.
What is the difference between EU energy efficiency and UK energy efficiency?
Apart from the differences in districts, there are basically no other differences.
