The most significant change in the new energy labels is the elimination of the energy efficiency plus classes like, for example A+++. As of March 1, 2021 classification will be from A to G.
Important Information:
Why Do the Ratings Seem So Low?
Your household appliances aren't any less efficient than before; they are just rated slightly differently. The newer label system also makes it much harder for appliances to be A or B rated, meaning that these categories on our site and many others might seem bare.

What is Energy Label?
Energy labels have been used to help people choose energy efficient home appliances for over 25 years, and the green to red sliding scale is a familiar sight in stores across the UK.
Previous energy labels rated appliances from A+++ being the most energy efficient, to G being the least energy efficient, however technological development over the past few years has resulted in a higher concentration of products that carry labels with a value of A+ or better. Consequently, the label has not been fulfilling its original function as an aid for making purchasing decisions as well as it formerly did. Other basic conditions like user behaviour have also changed. That’s why it’s time to adapt the existing energy label.
The most significant change in the new energy labels is the elimination of the energy efficiency plus classes like, for example A+++. As of March 1, 2021 classification will be from A to G. New methods will also be used for measuring energy consumption and determining the label class. In addition, you will also be able to retrieve further product information directly via a QR code that is displayed on the energy label. The QR code forwards you to a database operated by the EU. This is where you can view and download data sheets for all appliances that require the new energy label. Access to the database is also possible via the internet.

Inevitably, in today's constantly changing world, the top energy classes will fill up once again in the coming years. Another rescaling will then take place.
Washing Machines & Washer Dryers
More than 55% of washing machines placed on the EU market are ranked A+++ on the label, making it difficult to differentiate between products.
