Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) Manufacturers respond to the energy label by creating ever more efficient products. This technological development leads to products populating mainly the highest classes of the energy label. Further product differentiation may be necessary to allow customers a proper comparison, leading to the need to rescale labels. For the frequency of such rescaling a timescale of approximately ten years would be appropriate, taking into account the need to avoid over burdening manufacturers. This Regulation should therefore lay down detailed arrangements for rescaling in order to maximise legal certainty for suppliers and dealers. AWhether or not a newly rescaled label should have empty top classes shall be determined on product by product, with a view to encourage technological progress and enable ever more efficient products to be developed and recognised. When a label is rescaled, confusion to customers should be avoided by replacing all energy labels within a short timeframe. (This amendment shall be voted along with relevant amendment 116 on art 7.3)

Article 7 – paragraph 3
3. The Commission shall (based upon studies on future potential technical evolution) ensure that, when a label is introduced or rescaled, the requirements are laid down so that nothe majority of products are not expected to fall in energy efficiency classes A or B at the moment of the introduction of the label and so that the estimated time within which a majority of modelwithin ten years. If necessary, this may be achieved for individual product groups by designing the scale so that no products falls into those classes shall be at least ten years later. top class(es) from the start.
