GORENJE INTRODUCED THE INITIATIVE FOR
A NEW ENERGY LABEL
In last ten years energy label has been one of the most successful European Union
tools in the field of achieving energy efficiency. After its introduction Gorenje
and other manufacturers of household appliances have been improving energy
efficiency of appliances and they have been so successful that they started to add
temporary marks, such as 'A+' in 'A++' to the existing classification. Therefore
scheme updating is essential and European manufacturers have joined their efforts
within CECED in the project of introducing a new 'Beyond A' label.
In Gorenje we constantly strive for improving household appliances in the sense of
modern design, technological perfection and energy efficiency. These efforts have
produced new solutions which reach beyond energy class A. Ecological awareness
is our main motivation as we are aware that energy efficient appliances consume
substantially less energy, required for their operation. This contributes to the
protection of the environment.
In the period from 2008 to 2009 Gorenje will, in cooperation with the European
Committee of Domestic Equipment Manufacturers (CECED), actively strive for
the introduction of a new dynamic and open system of marking with a number
scale without upper limitation, which will be able to be adapted to continuous
improvements of appliances.
