Abstract
Energy Labelling Directive (ELD) has recently been
adopted in European Union to improve the energy
efficiency of appliances sold on the market. Energy
labels are aimed to assist consumers in choosing products
which save energy. In this article the new Delegated
Regulation published on 6 September 2013 in Commission's
Official Journal is discussed. The aim of this new
Regulation is to introduce a harmonised scheme for
labelling products according to their energy efficiency
and energy consumption and providing standard product
information for consumers. This Regulation sets EU energy
labels for stand-alone heaters and for packages of
heaters combined with further heating products. It
introduces the widely known A-G scale to cover the
various types of conventional boilers. Additionally, the
dynamic top classes A+, A++ and A+++ are intended to
promote the use of cogeneration and renewable energy
sources.
