Information about and creation of European Union energy labels

Use this site to create high resolution European Union energy efficiency label images for appliances. The idea is to give the European consumer an easy way to compare the energy consumption and efficiency of products from different manufacturers. Not only that but, in some cases, it actually forces manufacturers into a higher efficiency future, encouranging competition. What consumer will buy a B class washing machine when there is an A+ class washing machine at nearly the same price?

The labels are mostly very immediate and understandable to all European consumers, much text has been removed (removing the need to translate the labels) and the class of each appliance is very clearly marked.

Currently we are developing software for the labels shown below. To test the software click on the button above. And if you can't see the label you are looking for in the drop down list...

...please contact me, it is probably in development.

As I said, most of the labels are pretty clear for the user, but there are pitfalls for the creator of the labels.
