Trade association AMDEA has created an online toolkit for appliance manufacturers, distributors and retailers to ensure they are customer-ready for March 1, 2021, when new energy labelling will come into force .
The new energy rating affects dishwashers, washing machines, washer dryers, fridges and freezers and wine storage.
These products will be rated from A to G, doing away with the current ‘+’ system and making it easier for customers to compare products and allowing the industry space to develop eco-performance.

The online toolkit is a practical guide, designed to get busy retailers up-to-speed with the changes and explains improvements in energy efficiency have driven the need to rescale the labels.
This information pack offers a timeline of what needs to be done and when, a gallery of the new labels defining their key features and FAQs to answer customer questions.
It also has an infographic highlighting the industry’s eco-achievements over the last decade.
The AMDEA toolkit also has a 3-minute training video, allowing retailers to brush-up on all they need to know about the new labelling.
Whirlpool has also pledged its support to retailers to help educate consumers on changes to the energy labelling system.
