EU - Draft Commission Delegated Regulation Supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council with Regard to Energy Labelling of Household Tumble Dryers and Repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 392/2012

​This draft Commission Delegated Regulation applies to household tumble dryers to be placed on the EU market and repeals Regulation (EU) No 392/2012 with regard to energy labelling of household tumble dryers.

It requires suppliers, before products can be placed on the EU market, to upload the label data, the product information sheet and the technical documentation into a product registration database.

The draft Commission Delegated Regulation is based on the findings of a review study and of a long discussion process with stakeholders.

The aim of the draft Regulation is to provide customers with transparent and objective information on the energy efficiency of household tumble dryers, and on additional information to compare these appliances for an informed purchase choice. This will contribute to a market pull towards more environmentally friendly products, with increased energy efficiency, thus contributing to the clean energy transition and mitigation of climate change.

Moreover, Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 requires for household tumble dryers, which currently have an energy label showing classes from A+++ to D, the introduction of a new, rescaled label showing classes from A to G.

Proposed date of adoption: April 2023

Proposed date of entry into force: This regulation shall enter into force on January 1, 2024. It shall apply from July 1, 2025.

Final date for comments: 60 days from notification
