Amendment 229 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) Advances in digital technology allow for alternative ways of delivering and displaying labels electronically, such as on the internet, but also on electronic displays in shops. In order to take advantage of such advances, this Regulation should allow the use of electronic labels as replacement of or complementary to the physical energy label. In cases where it is not feasible to display the energy label, such as certain forms of distance selling and in advertisements and technical promotional material, potential customers should be provided at least with the energy class of the product. Technical promotional material does not include advertisements in billboards, magazines and newspapers, radio or television broadcasting and similar online formats.
