Energy Label + Repairability Score
Do you sell household appliances or multimedia equipment? The Energy Label and Repairability Score modules are essential for bringing your online store into legal compliance. That's why we've combined the two modules in a discounted pack, so you can equip your shop at a lower price.
From March 1, 2021, the new energy label must be displayed on all relevant appliances (list available on label2020.eu), whether in physical stores or online. The new labels are being introduced gradually, as European Union regulations come into force, but will eventually apply to all appliances. So it's essential to bring your online store into compliance now.
A new label more representative of current energy performance
Introduced by the European directive of 1992, the energy label aims to better inform consumers about the energy consumption of the appliances they use, and to encourage more responsible consumption by directing them towards the most energy-efficient products. At the same time, it aims to encourage manufacturers to innovate and produce increasingly energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly appliances.
In 2021, a "third-generation" energy label was introduced. This label represents a new classification of appliances, from A to G, more representative of the state of current technologies and the diversity of appliances. It incorporates new, stricter environmental objectives, with particular emphasis on eco-design, repairability and recyclability. The new energy label is also easier to read and understand for consumers, who are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the appliances they buy.
The new A to G ratings apply to a number of appliance categories, including (but not limited to):
- Refrigerators and freezers
- Wine storage refrigerators
- Washing machines and washer-dryers
- Dishwashers
- TVs and electronic displays
- Light sources
- ...
You can consult the list of appliances concerned on the official label2020.eu website.
In addition to an A to G rating, a new design and clearer pictograms, the new energy label must also be accompanied by an information sheet containing full details of appliance performance, supplied by manufacturers (EPREL energy label European database).
An extremely easy-to-configure module
Our "Energy Label" module enables you to comply with the law by displaying the energy class of your appliances, on product pages as well as on product list pages.
It also enables you to attach, behind each product energy label, the complete energy label including the scale and pictograms of the appliance's technical characteristics. The EPREL information sheet can be inserted as an attachment to your product pages.
Finally, by adding the "Energy label" sorting criterion to your search filters, you can enable your visitors to make their selection based on product energy performance. In this way, while complying with the law, you gain the trust of your visitors thanks to your transparency on the environmental impact of the products you offer.
These multiple benefits will contribute to an increase in your conversion and customer satisfaction rates.

Since January 1, 2021, it has been mandatory to display the repairability index of certain electrical and electronic equipment, for French consumers.
Do you sell in France? This module is essential for you!
The repairability score is a rating out of 10, awarded by the manufacturer of the device according to criteria set up by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition. It informs the consumer about the ease of repair of an appliance before purchase. This measure was taken as part of the anti-waste law enacted on February 10, 2020.
For the moment, this government measure only applies to the following product categories: washing machines, televisions, smartphones, laptops and lawnmowers.
Consumers are increasingly favoring e-commerce sites highlighting the ability of the products to be easily repaired, in order to limit the production of waste and the waste of natural resources.
Our "Repairability Score" module allows you to display the repairability score on the product pages as well as on the product list pages. It also allows you to attach, behind each product score, the presentation file of the parameters used to establish it. Finally, by adding this sorting criterion to your search filters, you will allow your visitors to make their selection based on the repairability of the products. Thus, while complying with the law, you gain the trust of your visitors with your transparency on the sustainability of the products you offer.
These multiple advantages will contribute to an increase in your conversion and customer satisfaction rates.

Increasingly sensitive to the environmental cause, and eager to fight against the programmed obsolescence of certain products, your customers will be reassured to be able to evaluate the repairability of their next appliance and this will help them in their purchasing decision.
