Make your energy efficiency endeavours clearly visible
To a green consumer, energy efficiency labels are among the most important things to look for on a product. They describe a product’s energy performance and rating on a comparative scale. Consumers and manufacturers value them as clear proof that industry and government energy efficiency regulations and standards are met.
TÜV SÜD provides the necessary testing and compliance support to enable manufacturers and retailers to accurately demonstrate the energy efficiency of their product.
