Stricter EU Appliance Eco Standards and Labels Take Effect

摘要

New ecodesign and energy labeling requirements for refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, and televisions sold in the European Union apply from March 1.The rules would "cut millions of tonnes of C02 emissions" and reduce the EU's annual end-user energy consumption by the estimated equivalent of Denmark's annual energy use by 2030, said Melissa Zill, program manager for the European Environmental Citizens' Organization for Standardization.
