## Frequently asked questions

### What is the UK energy label scale?

The UK uses an A-G energy efficiency rating scale, with A being the most efficient. The scale was rescaled in recent years—previously A+, A++, and A+++ ratings were used but these were phased out to reintroduce the simpler A-G scale.

### Do I need to register energy products in the UK?

Suppliers of energy-related products must ensure their products meet ecodesign requirements and display energy labels where required. Registration requirements may differ from the EU EPREL database—verify current UK arrangements.

### What are ecodesign requirements?

Ecodesign regulations set mandatory ecological requirements for energy-related products sold in the UK. These requirements cover energy efficiency, material efficiency, and reduction of environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle.
