Refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function placed on the European market from March 1st, 2021, must be supplied with the Energy Label, irrespective of the manufacturing date. The time of placing on the market is the invoice date, which corresponds to the transfer of property of the goods.

The energy label must be clearly displayed in any point of sale such as showrooms, trade fairs, online sales, etc., i.e. wherever the potential cabinet buyer may consider purchasing the appliance. On the contrary, there is no obligation for food retailers to display the energy label in their stores.

Point VII for refrigerated vending machines is the sum of the net volumes of all compartments with chilled operating temperatures (expressed in liters (L) and rounded to the nearest integer), and for all other refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function it is the sum of the display areas (TDA) with chilled operating temperatures (expressed in square meters (m2) and rounded to two decimal places).

Point IX for refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function is the sum of the display areas with frozen operating temperatures, expressed in square meter (m2) and rounded to two decimal places. The pictogram and the values are omitted in the case of vending machines that are designed to work at frozen operating temperatures because they are excluded from the Energy Labelling Regulation.
