1. CONTEXT OF THE DELEGA TED ACT  
1.1. Legal and political context of the proposal  
In the EU, the Ecodesign Framework Directive1 provides a framework that manufacturers of 
energy -related products are required to use to improve the environmental performance of their 
products. The framework sets out minimum energy efficiency requirements and other 
environmental criteria such as water  consumption, emission levels or minimum durability of 
certain components that manufacturers have to fulfil before they can place their products on 
the market.  
The Energy Labelling Framework Regulation2 complements the Ecodesign Framework 
Directive by ena bling end -consumers to identify the better -performing energy -related 
products, via an A -G/green -to-red scale3. The legislative framework builds upon the 
combined effect of these two pieces of legislation.  
The ecodesign and energy labelling framework are ce ntral to making Europe more energy 
efficient, contributing in particular to the 'Energy Union Framework Strategy '4 and to the 
priority of a deeper and fairer internal market with a strengthened industrial base5. Firstly, this 
legislative framework pushes i ndustry to improve the energy efficiency of products and 
removes the worst -performing ones from the market. Secondly, it helps consumers and 
companies to reduce their energy bills. In the industrial and services sectors, this results in 
support to competit iveness and innovation. Thirdly, it ensures that manufacturers and 
importers responsible for placing products on the European Union (EU) market only have to 
comply with a single EU -wide set of rules.  
A number of third countries have established or are esta blishing policy frameworks similar to 
the European one and a number of energy efficiency labels are mandatory on energy -related 
products that generally resemble to the European energy efficiency label, such as the Republic 
of South Africa6, Hong Kong7, Chi na, Macedonia8, Brasil9, Argentina10, Peru, Chile11, 
Turkey, Iran, Arab Emirates, Ghana and others.

Figure 1: The four energy labels for televisions by the Regulation in force.  
A study on the impact of the energy label – and potential changes to it – on consumer 
understanding and on purchase decisions 12 was completed in October 2014 and was the basis 
for the review of the energy Labelling Directive 2010/30/EU  of the European Parliament and 
of the Council13. The study revealed t hat the energy label is recognised and used by 85  % of 
Europeans14 and represents the second best known symbol associated to the EU15, second to 
the Euro currency symbol.  The majority of the EU consumers were able to correctly identify 
the product that was least costly to use indicating that they understand the meaning of the 
information in the label, such as kWh/annum. Similarly, consumers that understand the 
meaning of indications resulted more likely to correctly identify the product that is least costly 
'for them' to run . 
In August 2017, the new Energy Labelling framework Regulation  (EU) 2017/1369  of the 
European Parliament and of the Council entered into force, repealing Directive 2010/30/EU16. 
Under the repealed Directive, energy la bels were allowed to i nclude A+  to A+++ classes to 
address the overpopulation of the top classes. Over time, due to technol ogical development,

EN 3  EN also the A+  to A+++ class became overpopulated, which significantly reduce  the 
effectiveness of the labels. T o resolve this, the new fr amework Regulation requires a rescaling 
of existing energy labels, back to the original A  to G scale . Article  11 of the Energy Labelling 
framework Regulation lists five priority product groups for which new delegated acts with 
rescaled energy labels must b e adopted at the latest on 2  November 2018. Televisions are one 
of the priority product groups.  
Finally, several new policy initiatives indicate that ecodesign and energy labelling policies are 
relevant in a broader political context, and in particular in:  
 the Energy Union Framework Strategy , which calls for a sustainable, low -carbon and 
climate -friendly economy,  
 the Paris Agreement17, which calls for a renewed effort in carbon emission 
abatement,  
 the Gothenburg Protocol18, which aims at controlling air pollution,  
 the Circular Economy Initiative19, which among other things, stresses the need to 
include reparability, recyclability and durability in ecodesign ,  
 the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)20, aim a t reducing greenhouse gas ( GHG ) 
emissions in a cost -effective manner and indirectly affected by the energy 
consumption of the electricity using products in the scope of ecodesign and energy 
labelling policies, and  
 the Energy Securit y Strategy21, which sets out a strategy to ensure a stable and 
abundant supply of energy.  
Under the framework of Ecodesign and Energy Labelling, televisions and television monitors 
are regulated by Commission Regulation (EC) No  642/200922 (Ecodesign) and Commission 
Delegated Regulation (EU) No  1062/2010 (Energy Label)23. Article  7 of Regulation (EU) 
No 1062/2010 requires a review within 5 years (i.e. by December 2015).  
Furthermore, the Commission’s 2016 -2019 Ecodesign Working Plan24 also includes the 
review of both regulations, requiring in particular an examination of how aspects relevant to 
the circular economy can be assessed and taken on board. This is in line with the Circular 
Economy Initiative25, which concluded that product design is a  key in achieving the goals, as

durable, easier to repair, reuse or recycle). Moreover , signage displays are specifically listed 
in the 2016 -2019 Ecodesign Working  Plan to be taken up in the revision of the existing 
regulations for televisions.  
1.2. General context  
The Ecodesign together with the Energy Labelling legislative framework26 represent a push 
and pull market mechanism aiming at reducing carbon emissions ( Figure  2) by determining a 
major impact on the choices that consumers make when purchasing energy consuming 
products.  
The two policy frameworks are contrib uting to permit to products placed on the EU market to 
perform the same job using around one fifth less energy. By 2020, use of energy efficiency 
labels and ecodesign requirements is projected to lead to energy savings of around 165  Mtoe 
(million tonnes of  oil equivalent) in the EU, roughly equivalent to the annual primary energy 
consumption of Italy. In relative terms, this represents a potential energy saving of 
approximately 9  % of the EU's total energy consumption and a potential 7  % reduction in 
carbon  emissions. In 2030, savings are projected to grow to 15  % of the EU's total energy 
consumption and 11  % of its total carbon emissions.  
 
 
Figure 2: Effect of Ecodesign alone and when combined with Energy Labelling  
The two policy f rameworks also contribute to the reduction of the consumer expenditure, both 
by reducing the cost of the electricity bills27 and the cost of products as manufacturer can 
reduce the variety of models to produce because of the single regulatory framework at E U 
level.  
There have been relevant improvements in the energy efficiency of all electronic displays, 
mostly thanks to the television manufacturing sector. Computer monitors in particular are not 
going to represent a major share of energy consumption in the coming years. However, it is

27 Nearly Euro 500 per year for the average EU household.  
 
EN 5  EN estimated that all electronic displays, mainly because they are becoming bigger and more 
numerous, will continue to account for a sizeable share of energy use, unless corrective action 
is taken. This is the case of signage disp lays in particular, which are generally of bigger size 
and have far higher luminance, as Figure  3 illustrates.  
 
Figure 3: Yea rly energy use in TWh, in on -mode of the three most relevant types of electronic displays, 
1990 -2030 in a business as usual (BAU) scenario (source VHK, 2018).  
So far, of the different types of electronic displays, only TVs have been subject to mandatory 
energy labelling measures (under Regulation (EU) 1062/2010) and ecodesign requirements 
(laid down by Regulation (EC) 642/2009). Other displays are only covered by horizontal 
requirements (i.e. Standby Commission Regulation (EC) 1275/2008).  
The regulations in  force are based on a preparatory study and assessment that now dates back 
10 years28. As required by the review clause, in 2012, the Commission started reviewing the 
two television regulations with a study and presented its conclusions to stakeholders. The  
review showed already at that time that regulatory gaps and market failures existed, thus 
preventing full achievement of the identified energy savings potential. The collection of 
information was extended and data analysis repeated, highlighting the oppor tunity of 
corrective action. In total a database of over 3 thousand models of electronic displays placed 
on the EU market was analysed between 2012 and the end of 2017 in four different stages.  
Market and regulatory failures have been highlighted since the  beginning of the review and a 
number of new issues have emerged in the meantime that need to be corrected and that can be 
summarised as follows:  
– insufficiently stringent minimum and ecodesign requirements and energy labelling 
applying to TVs due to unpredicted technological change and which led to 
overpopulating the top classes: already in 2017 over 85  % of televisions sold were in 
classes above "B";  
– rapidly progressing functional convergence between different electronic displays, 
such as televisions , computer monitors, and signage displays, creating possible 
regulatory loopholes. TVs have been increasingly enabled for web browsing, for 
watching Internet streamed content or even for gaming and other displays and a 
variety of different displays are com monly used to watch content traditionally 
viewed only on TVs. Moreover the obsolete definition of "television monitor" in the 
                                                 
28 The preparatory study for the regulations in force was performed in 2006 -2007, during an 
unprecedented technology and market revolution and is available from 
https://circabc.europa.eu/w/browse/5263110f -17fc-465b -b1b9 -b645520 35b03  
 
EN 6  EN Regulation in force may be interpreted as covering many of the computer monitors 
now on the market29; 
– lack of requirements for new energy -intensive features, such as high dynamic range 
(HDR), that first appeared in premium models in 2016 and is progressively available 
in more affordable models (although the availability of HDR -enabled content is still 
extremely limited). HDR, when poo rly implemented, can more than double the 
energy consumption of the electronic display;  
– lack of requirements for resource efficiency aspects.  
The aim of the proposed Regulation on energy labelling is to provide a renewed incentive to 
manufacturers to impro ve the energy efficiency of electronic displays , reboosting the market 
take-up of energy -efficient products  mainly by:  
 extending its scope to the most common electronic displays;  
 rescaling the energy label, now ranging from A+++  to D (Figure 1), to the original 
A to G scale;  
 providing customers with indications in the label that better correspond to real -life 
use and enable them to make a better informed purchase choic e, and better compare 
products that are comparable.  
1.3. Existing provisions in the area of the proposal  
The following measures, currently in force, address the environmental performance of 
electronic displays:  
– Directive 2010/30/EU30 on the indication by labelli ng and standard product 
information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy -related 
products;  
– Directive 2009/125/EC31 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign 
requirements for energy -related products ;  
– Regulation (EU) No 1062 /201032 with regard to energy labelling of televisions;  
– Regulation (EC) No 642/200933 with regard to ecodesign requirements for 
televisions.  
Moreover, Commission Decision 2009/300/EC establishing the revised ecological criteria for 
the award of the Community  Eco-label covers televisions with some stricter energy efficiency 
requirements and addresses other environmental issues34.  
Furthermore, standby Regulation 1275/2008 covers the displays not covered by the Television 
Regulation. Finally, monitors and signage displays were included in the now elapsed EU -US 
Energy Star Agreement (in Annex  C). As a result, monitors and signage disp lays are today no 
longer covered by any labelling programme, even on voluntary basis, and no labelling 
instrument exist to cover these products as public procurement criteria.

Promoting market take -up of ef ficient electronic displays contributes to 2020 and 2030 energy 
efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reductions objectives35. It aims to support more 
efficient and sustainable use of resources, protect the environment, strengthen the EU’s 
leadershp in dev eloping new green technologies, improve the business environment and help 
consumers make more informed choices.  
2. CONSULTATIONS PRIOR T O THE ADOPTION OF TH E ACT  
2.1. Consultation of interested parties  
EU and international stakeholders and Member States' experts h ave participated in the process 
from the beginning.  
The proposal for energy labelling was discussed together with potential ecodesign 
requirements in four different Consultation Forums (CF) with Member State experts, 
representatives of manufacturers, envir onmental non -governemental organisations (‘NGOs’) 
and consumer organisations. A number of representatives of other organisations also took part 
in the discussions, such as European organisations representing the recycling industry, 
repairers, waste managem ent and environmental services (municipalities and the private 
sector).  
All relevant working documents were sent to the Member States, the European Parliament 
and stakeholders and were published in the Commission ’s CIRCA website 30  days before the 
CF meet ings. Following the CF meetings stakeholders were given an additonal 30 days for 
submitting written comments (available on the CIRCA36 website).  
Furthermore, specific aspects of individual requirements  were discussed between Commission 
staff and various sta keholders at several bilateral and multirateral meetings betwen 2013 and 
March 2018. The process was conducted in an open process, taking into account input from 
all relevant stakeholders and independent technical experts.  
In principle, the proposed energy  labelling scheme for electronic displays has been supported 
by Member States and stakeholders.  
Regarding the product scope, following the CF in 2012 and the discussion held in a previous 
CF in 200937, an overwhelming majority of Member States and NGOs agreed on a proposed 
extension of the labelling scheme to electronic displays other than televisions. Manufacturers, 
however, requested exceptions or different requirements for specialised displays, such as 
public displays, professional monitors for graphi c applications and broadcast monitors.  
The proposed energy labelling measure incorporates the comments expressed by Member 
States and stakeholders at and after the three CF meetings.  
During the preparatory process, additional additiona evidence and data h as been collected for 
the Impact Assessment of 201338 and its update in 2015 (see further). Market and technical

617/2013.  
38 This first impact assessment was approved by the Impact Assessment Bo ard on 4 September 2013.   
EN 8  EN data were acquired through several bilateral and multilateral meetings with stakeholders or via 
publicly available data39. 
Furthermore, the Commi ssion established a dataset of information about the environmental 
performance of electronic displays (mainly, televisions and computer monitors), updated four 
times to reflect the market, to support the development of the proposed ecodesign and energy 
labelling measures. This helps to ensure that the requirements are laid down at the proper 
ambition level and that they reflect recent technology developments.  
An online public consultation 40 took place from 12  February to 7  May 2018, to collect 
stakeholders ' views on issues such as the expected effect of potential legislative measures on 
business and energy consumption trends.  
The public consultation contained a common part on Ecodesign and Energy labelling, 
followed by product -specific questions on (i) refrigerators, (ii) dishwashers, (iii) washing 
machines, (iii) televisions, (iv) electronic displays and (v) lighting.  
1 230 r esponses were received of which 67  % were consumers and 19  % businesses (of which 
three quarters were SMEs and one -quarter large companies). NGOs made up 6  % of 
respondents, and 7  % were "other" categories. National or local governments were under 1  % 
of respondents, and 0 ,25 % came from national market surveillance authorities (MSAs).  
It should be noted that of the 1  230 respondents, 719 (58  %) replied only to lighting related 
questions as part of a coordinated campaign on lighting in theatres.  
Some 63  % of the participants were in favour of including Ecodesign requirements on 
reparability and durability, and 65  % of respondents considered that this information should 
be on energy labels.  
On the reparability of products, participants valued mostly as "ve ry important" to "important" 
(in the range 62  %-68 %)41 each of the following: a warranty, the availability of spare parts, 
and a complete manual for repair and maintenance. The delivery time of spare parts was rated 
as 56  % "very important" to "important".  
For electronic displays, the public consultation was mainly focused on options for a 
redesigned energy label. The majority of respondents considered that the label should show at 
least the display screen area, its resolution level, the use of high dynamic  range (HDR) and 
the annual power consumption.  
2.2. Impact assessment  
An impact assessment (IA) of the possible policy measures was carried out pursuant to 
Article  15(4)(b) of Directive 2009/125/EC. A previous impact assessment was prepared in 
2013 (approved by  the Impact Assessment Board (IAB) on 4  September 2013 and a full 
update was completed in 2015. The impact assessment accompanying the current proposal is 
an extensivereview of the previous one, using updated evidence additional stock market data 
and takin g into consideration the comments received before, during and after the four 
mentioned Consultation Forums, the position letters addressed to the Commission over the 
                                                 
39 The Regulation in force includes information on availability requirements that was particularly useful 
for collecting verifiable, non -anonymised and official data. The Energy Star database was and 
additional source of relevant information, particularly for monitors and signage displays.

EN 9  EN last 6 years from the beginning of the review process and the online public consultation . The 
Regulatory Scrutiny Board required a review of a first draft t of the Impact Assessment 
submitted, improving clearness in respect to the problem definition and beter integration of 
circular economy aspects. A second edition, with improved coverage of c ircular economy 
aspects and better description of the consultation process was given a positive opinion.  
Different policy options for achieving a market transformation fulfilling the appropriate level 
of ambition were considered, including: no new EU acti on (‘business -as-usual ’ of BAU;, 
termination of the existing television regulations, a self -regulation measure concluded by 
industry, all discarded, and revision of the existing television regulations (articulated into 
three options, indicated as ‘ECO’, ‘A mbi’ and ‘Leni’ ). 
The impacts of a policy option comprising an introduction of a new energy label for 
televisions and other electronic displays (together with new ecodesign requirements) were 
assessed against the ‘business -as-usual’ scenario. Three differe nt proposals for revised energy 
labelling (and ecodesign) measures were analysed. The ECO proposal corresponds to the 
working documents presented to the CF of July 2017 and based on the proposals presented 
during the two previous discussions of 2014 and of  2012. The Ambi option partially42 
incorporates the strong and renewed request by various Member States and NGOs to extend 
the scope to signage displays, while the Leni fully responds to the manufacturers request for  
more lenient requirements for new featu res and technologies, such as UHD/HDR and OLED.  
Based on an assessment of costs and benefits, a combination of energy labelling and 
ecodesign requirements for electronic displays emerged as a preferred option to address 
regulatory and market failures in th e electronic displays sector.  
Consequently, the option of introducing a labelling scheme for energy efficiency of the three 
main display product categories was chosen, together with ecodesign requirements, as it 
delivers the highest savings.  
An internal Co nsultation process followed, with a number of suggestions and detailed 
improvements incorporated in the draft legislative proposal and in accompaning cosuments.  
3. LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE  DELEGATED ACT 
The proposed measure applies to electronic displays irrespective of the display technology . 
Displays not in the scope of the Ecodesign Regulation for on -mode requirements are 
completely out of scope of energy labelling, apart from signage displays, where a correction 
factor is used to take into account the higher luminosity characterising this product group in 
relation to televisions or computer monitors43. 
Displays integrated into other products, such as computers, refrigerators, vending machines, 
etc. are completely out of the scope of both the Ecodesign an d Labelling Regulations, as are 
displays in means of transport, and medical displays.  
The proposed measure uses the same "formula" of eco -design to calculate the Energy

42 No on -mode minimal energy efficiency requirements are being proposed so far in Ecodesign but Energy 
Labelling is proposed. The Ecodesign proposal includes a  review clause for setting on -mode minimal 
requirements on signage displays and possibly further extend the scope to modular systems.  
43 New, ‘self -reflective’ technologies known as ‘electronic ink’ are in any case emerging for indoor and 
outdoor signage di splay products. These technologies have outstanding efficiency in applications with 
moderate image change rate, as no backlight is necessary. Energy is almost only used to change the 
picture, and a small PV panel and/or a battery can provide the necessary power.   
EN 10  EN EU market. The requirements will be introduced in three tiers, with Tier 2 (by 2022) of 
ecodesign i nvolving the elimination of the  ‘G’ class and Tier 3 (by 202 4) the elimination of 
the ‘F’ class.

A comparison between the current energy classes and the new ones can be only approximated, 
as the formula to set the limits is different: a linear bar in the current Regulation, a curve in 
the new proposal. Figure 4 provides such an illustration, for comparison of relatively small 
displays.

Figure 5  provides a visual distribution of the electronic displays which are part of the 2014 -
2017 dataset used in the hypothesis that the same displays would be on the marke t when 
rescaling the televisions and setting labelling requirements for the other monitors would not 
be within the scope of the current Regulation. All displays above the red curve would be 
eliminated by the minimum ecodesign requirements. However, it is u nlikely that models on 
the market in 2014 will still be available on the market in 2021.

Figure 8  illustrates the expected trend in energy labelling under the ECO scenario. Under the 
Lenient scenario, the lower classes would include more products (as more products are 
allowed on the market under Ecodesign). In the Ambitious scenario, where signage displays 
fall within the scope, it is also expected that the lower energy label classes will be more 
populated. ‘Ed x’ indicates the three differe nt tiers proposed in ecodesign.

There are considerable uncertainties in future projections for this product group because new 
technologies may result in ‘tipping points’ improving energy efficiency44 and new features 
eroding some savings.  
Finally, no direct relation has been demonstrated  between retail prices and the level of energy 
efficiency in electronic displays, as a number of factors, other than energy use, are decisive in 
determining the product cost, such as display size, adoption of new technologies, available 
features parti cular ly in terms of ‘smartness’, etc.  
                                                 
44 Such as self -reflective, self -emissive or transflective technologies, now at the demonstrative stage.  
 
EN 13  EN The new label would include two energy classes, one for the traditional way of playing 
images45 and a separate one for HDR, shown separately in the label. The reason is that 
because of the novelty of HDR and the scarce data  available, no minimum energy efficiency 
index has been set in the Ecodesign Regulation and no weighted mix of the standard dynamic 
range (SDR) and HDR would be acceptable46. 
Displays of the same size and resolution level should be compared. Therefore, the label would 
contain the basic information to compare comparable displays. Finally, the label would 
indicate whether the display is powered via an external and standardised power supply47 and a 
pictogram variant would indicate if the power supply is present in the packaging or not. The 
diffusion of standardised external power supplies (EPS, also improperly called "chargers"), 
converting AC 230 Volt current into low voltage DC current has a multi -fold relevance in 
terms of reparability, durability, health and recyclability, i.e.:  
 repairs are more convenient: A broken EPS can be replaced by any user at 
moderate/low cost while an internal one would require a technician and often is not 
cost-effective48; 
 there is an unbundling of products with different lifespans49; 
 fewer or no flame retardants are needed: removing the power source from the interior 
of an electronic display reduces or possibly nullifies the need to use flame retardants 
in plastics50. 
4. LEGAL BASIS , SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY  
4.1. Legal basis  
The propos ed Regulation is an delegated measure adopted pursuant to Regulation (EU) 
2017/1369, in particular Articles  11 and 16 thereof. Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 , in turn, is 
based on Articles  194(2) of the Treaty.  
4.2. Subsidiarity principle  
The adoption of energy labe lling measures for electronic displays by individual Member 
States, through their national legislation, would create obstacles to the free movement of 
goods within the EU. It is necessary for such measures in force throughout the EU to have the 
same conten t. In line with the principle of subsidiarity, it is thus appropriate for the measures 
in question to be adopted at EU level.  
                                                 
45 Indicated as Standard Dynamic Range or SDR in the working document)  
46 How long a display is used in SDR or HDR will change in the coming years but not at the same rate and 
proportion (e.g. a monitor used for office use would make no use at all of HDR, a TV typically reliyng 
on broadcast or streamed content. Broadcasters will  probably be slow to move on, as almost no 
programme is in 4k while even displays of 8k will soon be available. We can expect, on the contrary, 
that signage displays showing advertisements and needing to capture people's attention will largely 
make use of HDR, but, again, not all signage is used for commercial adverts.  
47 Such as e.g. USB with PD (Power Delivery) and ‘Type -C’ connector that can power a 100  W display 
such such as a television of over 60 -inches.  
48 E.g. because integrated on the main electroni c board and with a cost comparable to a new display.  
49 A standard EPS can have its own lifespan, unbundled from different products that it can power, in the 
same way that a ‘USB charger’ (that is an EPS) can be used for different smartphones and vice versa . 
50 Flame retardants hinder recyclability and halogenated substances in particular are highly toxic and 
ecotoxic during the display's entire lifetime. Pilot projects have demonstrated the possibility of avoiding 
use of flame retardants by removing the powe r supply from inside the TV (e.g. 
https://corporate.bestbuy.com/fewer -chemicals -same -fire-safety -for-insignia -tvs/)  
EN 14  EN 4.3. Proportionality principle  
In accordance with the principle of proportionality, this measure does not go beyond what is 
necessary i n order to achieve the objective, which is to set harmonised energy labelling 
requirements for electronic displays. It repeals and replaces an existing Regulation. It sets 
requirements that act as an incentive for technology leaders to invest in high -efficiency 
electronic displays.  
5. CHOICE OF INSTRUMENT  
Proposed instrument: Delegated Regulation.  
Other means would not be appropriate for the following reason(s):  
The form of the implementing measure is a regulation, which is directly applicable in all 
Member States. This has been chosen because the objectives of the action can be achieved 
most efficiently by introducing fully harmonised requirements throughout the EU. 
Furthermore, it repeals and replaces an existing Commission regulation. Moreover, it ensures 
that national and EU administrations will not incur costs transposing the implementing 
legislation into national legislation.  
6. BUDGETARY IMPLICATION  
The proposal has no implications for the EU budget.  
7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATIO N 
Review/revision/sunset clause  
The proposal includes a review clause.  
European Economic Area  
The proposed Regulation concerns an EEA matter and should therefore extend to the 
European Economic Area.

(Text with EEA relevance)  
THE EUROPE AN COMMISSION,  
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union , 
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council 
of 28 July 2017 setting a framework for energy labelling and repealing Directive 
2010/30/EU51, and in particular Article  11(5) and Article  16 thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council  empowers 
the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the labelling or re -scaling of the 
labelling of product groups representing significant potential for energy savings and, 
where relevant, other resources.  
(2) Provisions on the energy labelling of televisions were established by Commission 
Delegated Regulation (EU) No  1062/201052. 
(3) The Ecodesign Working Plan 2016 -2019 established by the Commission in application 
of Article  16(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC sets out the working priorities under the 
ecodesign and energy labelling framework for the period 2016 -2019. The Working 
Plan identifies the energy -relate d product groups to be considered as priorities for the 
undertaking of preparatory studies and eventual adoption of implementing measures, 
as well as the review of the current regulations.  
(4) Measures from the Working Plan have an estimated potential to deliv er a total in 
excess of 260  TWh of annual final energy savings in 2030, which is equivalent to 
reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 100 million tonnes per year in 
2030. Electronic displays are one of the product groups listed in the Working P lan, 
with an estimated 39  TWh of annual final energy savings in 2030 .  
(5) Televisions are among the product groups mentioned in Article  11(5)(b) of Regulation 
(EU) 2017/1369 for which the Commission should adopt a  delegated act introducing 
an A  to G rescaled label.

52 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 of 28 September 2010  supplementing Directive 
2010/30/EU o f the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of 
televisions (OJ L 314, 30.11.2010, p. 64).   
EN 16  EN (6) Regulation (EU) No  1062/2010 required the Commission to review the regulation in 
light of technological progress.  
(7) The Commission has reviewed Regulation (EU) No  1062/2010 pursuant to Article  7 of 
that Regulation and analysed technical, environmenta l and economic aspects of 
televisions and other electronic displays, including monitors and signage displays as 
well as real -life user understanding and behaviour of different labelling elements. The 
review was carried out in close cooperation with stakeho lders and interested parties 
from the Union and third countries. The results of the review were made public and 
presented to the Consultation Forum referred to in Article  14 of Regulation (EU) 
2017/1369.  
(8) It appears from t he review that the same requiremen ts for televisions should also apply 
to monitors because of the rapidly increasing functionality overlap between such 
displays and televisions, whilst for signage displays specific energy requirements 
should be set . Moreover, signage displays are specifica lly listed in the Commission’s 
2016 -2019 Ecodesign Working Plan to be taken up in the revision of the existing 
regulations for televisions. The scope of this Regulation should thus comprise 
electronic displays including televisions, monitors and signage di splays.  
(9) The annual energy consumption in 2016 of televisions in the Union constituted more 
than 3  % of  the Union’s electricity consumption.  The projected energy consumption of 
televisions, monitors and signage displays in a business as usual scena rio is expected 
be close to 100  TWh/yr in 2030. This Regulation, together with the accompanying 
ecodesign regulation, is estimated to reduce t he overall consumption up to 39  TWh/yr 
by 2030.  
(10) The high dynamic range (HDR) encoding function may lead to a different en ergy use, 
suggesting a separate energy efficiency indication for such a function.  
(11) The material efficiency aspect of electronic displays identified as significant for the 
purposes of this Regulation is the encouragement of unbundling of standardised 
externa l power supplies.  
(12) The information provided on the label for the electronic displays in the scope of this 
Regulation should be obtained through reliable, accurate and repeatable measurement 
procedures, which take into account the recognised state of the art  measurement 
methods including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European 
standardisation organisations, as listed i n Annex I to Regulation (EU) No  1025/2012 
of the European Parliament and of the Council53. 
(13) Recognising the growth of sale s of energy -related product through web -stores and 
internet sales platforms, rather than directly from suppliers, it should be clarified that 
service providers of web -stores and internet sales platforms should be responsible for 
displaying the label provid ed by the supplier in proximity to the price, as from 
Commissi on Delegated Regulation (EU) No  518/201454.
