The European Commission's Energy-Saving Design Directive (2005/32/EC) aims to reduce the impact of energy-consuming products (ErP) on the environment, including energy consumption during the entire life cycle of the product. This directive sets out a framework.
The newly revised EU energy saving label will take effect on March 1, 2021 for five product categories. In the updated label, the product currently with the highest grade may receive a grade as low as C. In order to continue to attract consumers at a high level, many manufacturers have begun to redesign their appliances to greatly increase efficiency.
Power supply (transformer) energy efficiency level 6 is the highest standard of current mandatory regulations since February 2016.
