TUMBLE DRYER - GUIDELINES

Obligations of the supplier

Common for both the old and the new energy labelling regulations is that you must fulfill these obligations as a supplier: 

  • Supply each household tumble dryer and/or a multi-drum household tumble dryer with a printed label. 
  • Enter the values for the parameters of the product information sheet in EPREL.
  • From the 1st  of January 2027, ensure that the repairability class and repairability index are included in the energy label, product information sheet and technical documentation. 
  • If requested by a dealer, make the product information sheet available in printed form.
  • Enter the content of the energy labelling technical documentation in EPREL.
  • From the 1st of January 2027 the repairability-related technical documentation information  where required. 
  • Ensure that any visual advertisement concerning a product model contains the energy efficiency class and range of energy efficiency classes available. 
  • Ensure that any technical promotional material concerning a product model, including technical promotional material on the internet, includes the energy efficiency class and the range of energy efficiency classes available on the energy label.
  • Make an electronic energy label in the format available to dealers for each product model.
  • Make an electronic product information sheet/product fiche available to dealers for each product model.

Please note, that the obligations depend on your role in the market. If you act as a dealer (e.g. selling your products on a website to the end consumers), you also take over the dealer's obligations. Find more about the different kinds of roles and obligations here.
