Q: How long is the energy label valid for a product?

The energy label remains valid as long as the product is placed on the market without any significant changes affecting its energy efficiency. If new regulations come into effect or the product is modified, a new label may be required. Creating an energy label for a product does not guarantee that it meets ecodesign requirements. You need to follow the ecodesign delegated acts for market restrictions of the product.

Q: In which languages should the energy label be provided?

Energy labels have a common format across the EU market for each product type. However, product information sheets must be provided in the official language(s) of the EU country where the product is marketed. This ensures that consumers can understand the information regardless of their location within the EU.

Q: Do I need to update EPREL if my product specifications change?

Yes, if there are any changes to your product that affect its energy efficiency, performance, or other information displayed on the energy label, you must update the product's data in EPREL accordingly. This ensures that consumers and authorities have access to accurate and up-to-date information.

Q: How long does it take to register a product in EPREL?

The time required to register a product in EPREL varies depending on the complexity of the product and the completeness of your technical documentation. For a single product with all documentation prepared, the registration can be completed in about one hour. Bulk registrations or products requiring additional data may take longer.

Q: Is there a fee for registering products in EPREL?

No, there is no fee charged by the European Commission for registering products in the EPREL database. The registration process is free of charge for suppliers.
