Physical shops

When you receive smartphones and tablets from your importer or manufacturer, each product will include an energy label inside the package.

At the point of sale (in the shop or trade fairs) you shall ensure that: 

(a) each smartphone and slate tablet bears the label provided by suppliers displayed in proximity to the product or hung on it or placed in such a way as to be clearly visible and unequivocally associated to the specific model.

It is also your responsibility, among other things, to:

• Provide the product information sheet (PIS) if the customer requests it.
• Display energy labels on products also in the shop’s display windows.
• Request an energy label or PIS from the supplier if you do not have one. You can also download it from EPREL – The European Product Registry for Energy Labelling.
• Ensure that the model identifier on the energy label matches the product.

The size of the energy label

The energy label must be at least 68 mm wide and 136 mm high, unless the packaging is smaller. In that case, a proportionally smaller label is permitted, but it must not be smaller than 47.6 mm wide and 95.2 mm high.
