Market survey: Energy label display in shops

SEVEn is the organiser and author of a publication on the monitoring of energy label display in shops around the EU. Within the MarketWatch project partners checked 30,000 products in 243 shops across Europe, online and offline. Half the products we looked at had labelling problems. One in five had no label at all, making it impossible for consumers to accurately judge the energy performance of TVs, fridges and a host of other common products. A further one third either had formatting problems (20%), were out of sight (4%) or on the wrong product (3%). Find the publication for donwload here.
