Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) Manufacturers respond to the energy label by creating ever more efficient products. This technological development leads to products populating mainly the highest classes of the energy label. Further product differentiation may be necessary to allow customers a proper comparison, leading to the need to rescale labels. For the frequency of such rescaling athe timescale of approximately ten years would be appropriatedepends on the overpopulation of the two highest scales which reduces consumer choice and the incentives for developing more energy efficient products, taking into account the need to avoid over burdening manufacturers. This Regulation should therefore lay down detailed arrangements for rescaling in order to maximise legal certainty for suppliers and dealers. A newly rescaled label should have empty top classes to encourage technological progress and enable ever more efficient products to be developed and recognised. When a label is rescaled, confusion to customers should be avoided by replacing all energy labels within a short timeframe.

(16) In order to facilitate the monitoring of compliance and to provide up-to-date market data for the regulatory process on revisions of product-specific labels and information sheets, suppliers should provide their product compliance information electronically in a database established by the Commission. The information should be made publicly available to provide information for customers, including the use of apps and other information technology, and to allow for alternative ways for dealers to receive labels. Market surveillance authorities should have access to the information in the database.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 7 – paragraph 3
Article 7 – paragraph 3
3. The Commission shall ensure that, when a label is introduced or rescaled, the requirements are laid down so that not more than 5 % of products are expected to fall into energy classes A or Band B together at the moment of the introduction of the label and so that the estimated time within which a majority of models falls intor rescaling of those classes shall be at least ten years laterbel.
Amendment 128 #

Proposal for a regulation
Article 7 – paragraph 6
Article 7 – paragraph 6
6. Labels introduced by delegated acts adopted in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 2010/30/EU before the date of application of this Regulation shall be considered as labels for the purposes of this Regulation. The Commission shall review those labels within five years of the entry into force of this Regulation with a view to rescaling them in order to limit the co- existence of labels with different scaling, leading to consumer confusion.
