What changed
In its 8 July 2025 announcement, the EEC confirmed the postponement. Energy-label formats and presentation rules are scheduled to apply from 1 March 2028. Individual requirements in the annexes have separate timelines.
What importers and manufacturers should consider
Before commissioning tests, identify the device category and check the relevant annexes and dates. This postponement does not itself remove existing requirements for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility or other product characteristics.
