Relationship between the energy label 1060/2010 / EU and the new energy label 2019/2016 / EU

The current 1060/2010 / EU label uses the A +++ / D labeling system, which has become less effective. The mixed scale of the label with many "+" is no longer transparent and the majority of products are already in the first 2 to 3 classes today. Therefore, the European Union has revised and optimized the label according to the needs of users. The new 2019/2016 / EU energy label will only contain energy classes A to G. The class levels will be regularly updated.
