EPREL - a breakthrough in product energy transparency. How does it affect consumers and manufacturers?

EPREL (European Product Registry for Energy Labelling) is a European database created by the European Commission to make information on the energy efficiency of products more transparent. It enables consumers to make informed purchasing decisions and obliges manufacturers to register their products in accordance with EU energy labelling regulations.

Genesis and purpose of EPREL

The European Union, in an effort to promote energy efficiency and sustainability, has introduced EPREL as a tool to collect and make available information on the energy consumption of different appliances. The main objective is to provide consumers with access to reliable data, allowing them to compare products and choose the most energy-efficient ones.

How does EPREL work?

EPREL functions as a digital product library in which manufacturers and importers are required to register their products before placing them on the EU market. Each registered product has a unique identifier and an associated energy label. Consumers can access this information by scanning the QR code on the label or directly on the EPREL website.

Relevance to consumers

✅ Conscious shopping:

Thanks to EPREL, consumers can easily compare the energy efficiency of different models of devices, making it easier to choose the most economical and ecological products.

✅ Financial savings:

Choosing devices with a higher energy class translates into lower electricity bills, which in the long run brings significant savings.

✅ Environmental care:

Investing in products with better energy efficiency contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions and reducing the carbon footprint, thus supporting environmental protection activities.
