(8a) This Regulation places a great emphasis on protecting consumers' rights, ensuring that when purchasing energy- related products, the consumer has access to all information concerning efficiency and other key performance features. It should be equally noted that the primary goal of the Regulation, that is reducing absolute energy consumption, makes it necessary to actively engage both end- users, i.e. those who are not only purchasing energy-related products but use them regularly, and citizens. Accordingly, the Regulation mentions them explicitly in several points, aiming to foster their active engagement.

(8b) Energy-related products are durable goods. It follows that a certain share of those products originally made available on the Union market could be sold as second-hand products. At the same time, products originally sold as new products out of the EU can be imported and made available on the Union market. These two different situations should be dealt with differently, because in the former the energy-related product was covered by this Regulation from the beginning. Accordingly, labelling requirements should be imposed only on second-hand products originally sold outside the EU.

Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 19 a (new)
(19a) "Smart appliance" is an appliance that, using modern computer and communications technology, including wireless technology, can be configured to communicate directly to the utility operator, to receive real-time data from the advanced metering system and/or from the smart grid, in order to control or modulate its functions; and/or can be distance-commanded through the internet or a smartphone connection. The goal of the "smart appliance" is to make the use of electricity more efficient and to make operations faster and cheaper.
