EXPLANATORY NOTE |
||
(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) |
||
The purpose of these Regulations is to implement Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy-related products (recast). |
||
The Energy Labelling Directive is a Framework Directive which specifies the framework within which detailed measures (referred to as EU measures) setting energy labelling requirements for specific energy-related products are brought forward by the EU Commission. It is a recast of an earlier Directive (Directive 1992/75/EC) which established a framework for the setting of energy labelling requirements for the consumption of energy and other resources by household appliances, and extends the scope of the application of that Directive to a wider variety of products which have a direct or indirect impact on energy consumption during use. |
||
These Regulations oblige suppliers of energy-related products regulated by an EU measure to supply an energy label and fiche with the product. These Regulations oblige dealers of energy-related products covered by an implementing measure to ensure that an energy label is displayed properly to end-users for products offered for sale, hire or hire-purchase. |
||
These Regulations amend the EU (Energy Labelling) Regulations 2011 ( SI No. 366 of 2011 ) and revoke the previously updated schedule provided in EU (Energy Labelling) (Amendment) Regulations 2013 ( SI No. 261 of 2013 ). The amended Schedule 1 sets out the expanded list of products and associated EU measures which are transposed by these Regulations. |
