Come On Labels
Background
Come On Labels is a 30 month project with 13 partner countries, supported by Intelligent Energy Europe, which focuses on raising awareness of the new EU energy label for domestic appliances.
Key Points
Raising the awareness of at least 500,000 households across Europe regarding the new EU energy label
Increasing compliance levels and transparency of appliance testing
Training retailers to use the energy class as a sales tool to boost sales of the most efficient appliances
The project has a dedicated website at www.come-on-labels.eu
Aims
The Come On Labels project aims to support the implementation of the new EU household appliance energy labelling scheme, by enhancing the visibility and credibility given to the label and improving the market for labelled products.
The project will review the approach to implementation in the 13 partner countries and collect and disseminates good practice, focusing on the three key areas fundamental to successful implementation of labelling:
- Correct information on labels
- Proper display of labels
- Promotion of labels to final customer
The project aims by the end of its 30 months to have:
- Provided training to retailer staff to better inform consumers about the new labels
- Raised the awareness of at least 500,000 households across Europe
Activities
The project runs from December 2010 through to May 2013. There are five key areas of work that each partner country will be involved in delivering:
- Review of national legislation for new appliance labelling
- Review of appliance testing in each country
- Review of retailer compliance
- Promotion of the new energy labels
- A review of good practice 'early replacement' initiatives and promotion for similar schemes to be adopted in each country
Info for Retailers and Manufacturers
If you are a retailer or manufacturer, our media and information pack may be of interest. The pack includes:
- Information on minimum compliance levels
- Energy labels leaflets to distribute to staff and clients. We can also customise the leaflet to feature your company's branding. This costs £50 (to cover design costs), and the turnaround time is a week from receipt of your confirmation to dispatch
- A press release for you to tailor to your target groups
- Staff briefing notes on the new label
We also offer free, in-depth staff training sessions. However, this offer is only available for a limited period and is aimed primarily at retail outlets wishing to train their sales team to use energy labels as a powerful sales tool to promote energy efficient appliances.
Please contact us to request this pack and discuss your requirements.
