Ecodesign requirements for televisions were published in July 2009 and entered into force in August 2009. The Energy Label Regulation for televisions was published in September 2010 and entered into force in October 2010.
So far, of all electronic displays, only TVs have been subject to these requirements and an energy labelling scheme. However, the European Commission has recently been willing to revise the existing legislation in order to include electronic displays in the scope of the regulation.
This proposition of revision also covers status displays integrated in domestic appliances.
