Useful information for Kildare people | New EU energy labels – what is changing? Reporter: '); New energy labels are coming into effect to bring EU consumers a better understanding of their carbon footprint and energy consumption. Irish lighting company Solus outline what exactly is changing when the mandatory new European Commission energy labelling regulations come into effect on September 1st, 2021.
A brand-new version of the widely-recognised EU energy label for light bulbs and light sources will be applicable in all shops and online retailers from September 1st 2021 with an 18-month transition period for products already on the market. On May 20th, Solus hosted an informative webinar presented by broadcaster Jonathan Healy with panel of experts from government and compliance bodies including Minister Pippa Hackett, SEAI Programme Manager Tim Stokes and Elizabeth O'Reilly, Environmental Compliance & Membership Manager for WEEE Ireland. The webinar brought clarity on exactly what this new legislation entails, what timelines are in place and how the industry and its retailers can be compliant.
