Energy labels in Washing Machines


When environmental issues came to the centre stage and concern about the threats to the world ecology became widespread, United Nations appealed to all countries to reduce pollution in order to prevent global warming. After the 1992 Earth Summit convened in Rio de Janeiro, all countries initiated action to save earth from ecological destruction. The United Kingdom, in conformity with the United Nations policy introduced several regulations to protect environment. It became mandatory in European Union and UK that all products that use energy should carry energy labels. The labels indicate that the products are designed and manufactured in such away to conserve energy and to reduce emission of toxic gases to the minimum limit as mandated under the rules.

The consuming public is equally conscious about the consequences of environmental pollution, thanks to the universal awareness programme initiated by the Governments as well as international agencies. Further energy has become an expensive commodity and the individual consumers are anxious to keep down the consumption charges. No wonder, the shoppers now a days want to ensure that white goods and other appliances that consume power are carrying energy labels or green labels. There are many regulations in the European Union countries stipulating strict adherence to anti-pollution and energy saving methods. All goods and service that are based on energy consumption have to indicate that they are manufactured or provided to the public, strictly adhering to the concerned rules. Labels with logo will be attached to the products
