Electrolux advocates the use of energy labeling as a market mechanism to reduce energy consumption.
Electricity used for appliances accounts for approximately 4% of the total CO2 emissions in Europe. Labeling is an effective mechanism for raising consumer awareness on the importance of efficiency and the savings potential that lies with energy-wise products.
Appliance labeling is currently mandatory in EU, Canada, US, Mexico, Japan, Australia, and China. Voluntary labeling schemes exist in Brazil. In the EU, our appliances comply with the most stringent Classes A+ and A++ criteria of the European Energy Label.
Energy efficiency levels for qualifying for different European Union energy labeling classes, such as Class A and Class A++, are defined in product specific directives provided by the EU.
Water use data is increasingly provided on efficiency labels and Australia has introduced a water efficiency label for six household appliances.
