Ecodesign and energy labelling requirements
Smartphones, other mobile phones, cordless phones and slate tablets are subject to ecodesign requirements, while (only) smartphones and slate tablets are subject to energy labelling requirements. The requirements apply to all products placed on the EU/EEA market.
The EU sets ecodesign and energy labelling requirements for energy-related products to promote energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Over the past 25 years, an increasing number of products have become subject to such requirements, and from the 20th of June 2025, smartphones, other mobile phones, cordless phones and slate tablets (in this guideline named ”tablets”) are also covered by some of these requirements.
This section of the website provides a concise overview of the new rules and includes links to the relevant regulations and FAQs.
