The aim of this draft 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. The labelling requirements also provide a dynamic incentive for manufacturers to improve energy efficiency and to accelerate the market take-up of energy efficient stand-alone water heaters and hot water storage tanks and also packages of water heaters and solar devices.
Responsibilities of suppliers and buyers are discussed in Articles 3 and 4 respectively.
This draft Regulation (which is accompanied by 4 annexes) shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
