Key points
- Transitioning from a Directive to a Regulation to ensure uniform rules across all EU Member States without the need for individual national implementation.
- Introduction of a dynamic rescaling mechanism for energy labels to prevent the top efficiency classes from becoming too crowded, thereby encouraging further innovation.
- Establishment of a central EU product database featuring both a public interface for consumers and a secure compliance interface for authorities.
- Strengthening of market surveillance through mandatory physical product testing and improved information exchange between Member States.
