Policies of the platforms
AMAZON POLICY: As of January 1, 2019, before selling 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.

The European Union has established the European Product Database for Energy Labelling (EPREL) in order for consumers to be able to check the energy efficiency level of the products they buy. For product suppliers, this means that before a product enters the EU, there is a new requirement to register the product's energy efficiency information in the EPREL system.
What kind of information does EPREL provide?
Consumers can find detailed information on energy labeling products and models in EPREL. It offers the possibility to determine which products have the best cost-benefit ratio for specific needs. Information is also provided on aspects of the product other than energy use, such as possible water consumption, noise emissions, warranty extension, spare parts availability, duration or product support.
