Market research in Europe has shown that consumers are very concerned about the energy performance of products, especially white goods such as television sets. As a result, the EU has adopted legislation on energy efficiency labeling for electronic products.
As of January 1, 2019, prior to sale on the European market, suppliers (manufacturers, importers or authorized representatives) must register their products in the European Product Database for Energy Labeling (EPREL) and obtain an energy label.
And from 2022, if you sell products in France or Germany, Amazon will verify that you comply with the standards in the country of sale. Therefore, Amazon will collect and verify your registration number.
