Status

For electronic displays including televisions, computer monitors and digital signage displays, the current regulations are Energy Labelling (EU) No 2019/2013 and Ecodesign (EU) No 2019/2021. They came into effect in March 2021. Once the review process for those regulations is initiated, Topten will publish new policy recommendation on this page.
