In the first two weeks of March (1 – 18 March 2021), retailers must replace labels for mains operated refrigerators with direct sales function, mains operated refrigerators between 10 and 1500 litres in volume, mains operated household dishwashers, television sets, monitors, certain signage displays, washing machines and washer-dryers. This concerns both the products in shops and products offered on the Internet. Before that, only old energy labels may be shown, and afterwards only new ones. Missing labels must be requested from the relevant suppliers. If there is no new label, then the equipment affected must be sold off by 1 December 2021.
Evaluation and/or preparation of test reports
Please bear in mind that the new labels must have corresponding test reports that must be placed in the EPREL database. If these are lacking, then new labelling is not possible. Preparing a test report is time-consuming, so please act promptly. trade-e-bility can support you in the evaluation of your test documents. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call trade-e-bility on +49/40/75068730-0 or send an e-mail message to beratung@trade-e-bility.de.
Registration and entry in the EPREL database
The registration in the EPREL database had to be carried out 4 months before 1 March 2021, i.e. before 1 November 2020. Since 1 November 2020, suppliers have had to include both the old and the new label. If you need support with the registration and entry of your products or the entry of your data and documents into the EPREL database, the take-e-way GmbH consultants will be pleased to assist you. Please call +49/40/750687-0 or send an e-mail to beratung@take-e-way.de.
