EU Energy Labelling

EU Energy Labels for Household Tumble Dryers

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2534 establishes updated energy labelling requirements for household tumble dryers sold in the EU. Tumble dryers are part of the EU's broader energy labelling framework under Regulation (EU) 2017/1369.

What does Regulation (EU) 2023/2534 require?

Regulation (EU) 2023/2534 sets out the energy labelling requirements for household tumble dryers placed on the EU market. Suppliers must register each model in the EPREL database before market placement.

Online retailers must display the energy label and product information sheet near the product price to allow customers to compare models before purchase.

Who needs to comply?

This regulation applies to household tumble dryers sold to consumers in the EU, both in physical stores and online.

If you sell tumble dryers to EU customers through your online shop, you must display the energy label.

What must online retailers display?

Online retailers must make two documents accessible to customers near the product price: the energy label and the product information sheet (fiche). Both are provided by the supplier via the EPREL database — retailers do not need to create or assemble this data themselves.

The energy label for household tumble dryers includes the following information:

  • Energy efficiency class (A to G scale)
  • Weighted energy consumption in kWh per 100 drying cycles
  • Rated capacity in kg
  • Programme duration
  • Airborne acoustical noise emission class
  • QR code linking to the product's entry in the EPREL database

The product information sheet contains further technical details and is available for download in all 24 official EU languages via the EPREL database.
