   (4) The supplier shall, for products placed on the market or put into service before the four -
month period, deliver the rescaled label on request from the dealer in accordance with Article 5(4) as 
from the start of that period. For such products, the dealer sha ll obtain a rescaled label in accordance 
with Article 6(2).  
 
    By way of derogation from this paragraph;   
 
1) a dealer who is unable to obtain a rescaled label in accordance with the point (c)  this 
paragraph  for units already in its stock because the supplier has ceased its activities shall be 
permitted to sell those units exclusively with the non -rescaled label until nine months after 
the date specified in the relevant delegated act for starting the display of the rescaled label; 
or 
2) if the non -rescale d and the rescaled label require different testing of the model, the supplier 
is exempt from the obligation to supply a rescaled label for units placed on the market or 
put into service before the four month period, if no units belonging to same model or 
equivalent models are placed on the market or put into service after the start of the four -
month period. In that case, the dealer shall be permitted to sell those units exclusively with 
the non -rescaled label until nine months after the date specified in th e relevant delegated 
act for starting the display of the rescaled label.  
 
  (5) The dealer shall replace the existing labels on products on display, both in shops and 
online, with the rescaled labels within 14 working days after the date specified in the r elevant 
delegated act for starting the display of the rescaled label. The dealer shall not display the rescaled 
labels before that date.  
 
   (6) By way of derogation from paragraphs (3), (4) and (5) of this Article, delegated acts 
referred to in point (e) of Article 14(3) may provide for specific rules for energy labels printed on the
