Design and content of the energy label - and your obligations

Your obligations

As a supplier, you must ensure that:

• Each smartphone slate tablet unit is supplied with a printed energy label.
• An electronic energy label is made available to the dealers. 
• Any visual advertisement or technical sales/promotional material for each model contains the energy efficiency class and the range of energy efficiency classes available on the energy label shown by an arrow (so-called energy arrow). Read more about this requirement here.
• On request, provide the dealers with a new printed energy label within five working days.

Size and creation of the energy label

• The printed energy label must be at least 68 mm wide and 136 mm high.
• If the label is printed in a larger format, its content must meet the above specifications proportionally.
• It is permitted, but not mandatory, to print the energy label on the packaging.
• If the packaging is too small to accommodate an energy label sized 68 mm in width and 136 mm in height, the energy label may be printed at a reduced scale, provided it remains proportional and measures at least 70% of the above-stated dimensions.
• This means a minimum of 47.6 mm in width and 95.2 mm in height. It is also important that the QR code remains readable by a standard QR reader, like readers used on smartphones.
• The energy label can be generated automatically when the product model is registered in EPREL.
