Green Circle Talks about Cross-border] "EU Energy Efficiency Certification" Random Inspection Again, Do You Understand This Knowledge?

EU Energy Efficiency Certification is a new term for sellers, but it is one of the most important certifications for compliance with Amazon's regulations. If you are in a situation where you are unable to ship your product, it may be because your product needs to be certified for EU energy efficiency.

Nowadays, Amazon requires sellers to create shipments with complete information before they can be shipped. According to industry insiders, Amazon sellers may not be able to list certain products on their shelves, usually because sellers did not certify energy efficiency labels when they listed their products in the past, and now these products fall under the scope of the EU Energy Efficiency Certification, which is required to comply with the platform's compliance requirements.

In addition, sellers may also encounter similar prompts when listing new products, which require the completion of energy-efficiency label certification before shipment. To avoid this, sellers can learn about the certification requirements of their products in advance and certify their products before putting them on the shelves to ensure that they can be put on the shelves smoothly and meet the compliance requirements of the platform.

In the face of Amazon's requirements for EU energy efficiency labels, what should sellers do?

  1. Check Product ComplianceFirst of all, check whether the products you manufacture or sell comply with the EU energy labeling requirements. If it does not, you can feedback with customer service that the product does not fall within the scope of the energy efficiency label, or you can make an exemption test report and attach it as an attachment to the report and reply to Amazon stating that the product does not fall within the scope of the label.
  2. Complete Energy Efficiency Label Registration: If a product is subject to energy efficiency labeling requirements, the product must be tested and reported before the energy efficiency label is registered. When registering the energy efficiency label for the product in question, the compliance information must be uploaded and the product and packaging must be marked with the relevant symbols.

What is the difference between registering for the EU Energy Efficiency Label and registering for other product compliance?

  1. Inspection Report RequirementsThe prerequisite for energy efficiency registration is that the product must have a test report and the report must be certified by a laboratory in the CNAS system.
  2. The person in charge of the European Union asked: Unlike other products, the data for registration of the EU Energy Efficiency Label must be provided to the EU responsible person.

How to determine whether a product meets the requirements of the EU Energy Efficiency Label?

  1. Consultation with sales staff or manufacturers: Before purchasing a product, you can ask the salesperson or the manufacturer whether the product complies with the requirements of the EU Energy Efficiency Label.
  2. Check Official Website: The official website of the European Commission contains detailed information on energy efficiency labeling and a database of products, through which you can find out whether a specific product complies with the EU's energy efficiency labeling requirements.
  3. Enquiry on Consumer Reports: Many consumer reports and rating organizations provide evaluations and comparisons of energy efficiency of products. By consulting these reports, you can find out how a product performs and ranks in terms of energy efficiency.

There are many types of products that meet the requirements of the European Energy Efficiency Label, including:

  • freezer cabinet
  • refrigerator
  • Kitchen appliances (e.g. dishwasher, range hood, microwave oven, toaster, etc.)
  • washing machine
  • Television
  • calculator
  • air conditioning
  • Comfort Fan
  • Air Heating and Cooling Equipment
  • Lighting products (e.g. lamps and bulbs)

Conclusion

Sellers should understand and meet the EU energy labeling requirements in advance to ensure that their products can be smoothly displayed on the shelves and comply with the compliance requirements of the Amazon platform, so as to avoid the situation of being unable to ship or having their products removed from the shelves.
