#new energy label From March 1, 2021, domestic refrigeration appliances will present a new energy class label with a scale from A (more efficient) to G (less efficient) to replace the current one from A +++ to D, with the aim of helping consumers to identify the most efficient products easier.

#new energy label BRIEF EXPLANATION‌
This change of scale corresponds in practice to a greater division of the classes currently in force, wherein the two new top classes (A and B) will be empty of products in the first phase, that is; the best current product will be in class C.

With this scale, the Commission intends to encourage manufacturers to develop more efficient equipment. In the same vein are the new Ecodesign regulations, which started on March 1, 2021, where it will be no longer possible to market most types of domestic refrigeration appliances in class G, which include some of the current A + products and for March 1, 2024 the disappearance of the new F class, which covers the vast majority of current A + products, is already defined.
