Recital 9
(9) The provision of accurate, relevant, verifiable and comparable information on the specific energy consumption of energy- related products facilitates the customer's choice in favour of those products which consume less energy and other essential resources during use in order to achieve a certain performance. A standardised mandatory label is an effective mean to provide potential customers with comparable information on the energy efficiency and energy consumption of energy-related products. It should be supplemented with a product information sheet. The label should be easily recognisable, simple and concise based on proper measurement and calculation methodology. To this end the existing dark green to red colour scale of the label should be retained as the basis to inform customers about the energy efficiency of products. A classification using letters from A to G has shown to be most effective for customers. In situations where because of ecodesign measures under Directive 2009/125/EC products can no longer fall into classes 'F' or 'G', those classes should not be shown on the label. For exceptional cases this should also be extended to the 'D' and 'E' classes, although this situation is unlikely to occur given that the label would be rescaled once a majority of product models falls into the top two classes.

Recital 20
(20) The Commission should provide a working plan for the revision of labels of particular products including an indicative list of further energy-related products for which an energy label could be established. The working plan should be implemented starting with a technical, environmental and economic analysis of the product groups concerned. This analysis should also look at supplementary information including the possibility and cost to provide consumers with accurate information on the performance of an energy-related product, such as its absolute energy consumption, durability or, environmental performance or combined energy efficiency performance index, in coherence with the objective to promote a circular economy. Such supplementary information should improve the intelligibility and effectiveness of the label towards consumers and should not lead to any negative impact on consumers.

Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 20
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 20
(20) 'Supplementary information' means information on the functional and environmental performance of an energy- related product, such as its absolute energy consumption or durability, which is based on data that are measurable and verifiable by market surveillance authorities, is unambiguous and has no significant negative impact on the clear intelligibility and effectiveness of the label as a whole towards customers.

Article 7 – paragraph 4
Article 7 – paragraph 4
4. Labels shall be re-scaled periodicallywhen it estimates that 40 % of products sold fall into energy class A and, based upon studies on future potential technical evolution, further technological development can be expected soon.

Article 7 – paragraph 6
Article 7 – paragraph 6
6. Labels introduced by delegated acts adopted in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 2010/30/EU before the date of application of this Regulation shall be considered as labels for the purposes of this Regulation. The Commission shall review those lLabels within five years of the entry into force of this Regulation with a view to rescaling themonce it estimates that 40 percent of the products sold within the Union market fall into the top energy class and further technological development can be expected soon.
