About Energy Saving Recommended products

Under the Energy Saving Recommended scheme only products that meet strict criteria on energy efficiency can carry the logo.

For example, for fridges we endorse A+ which are more energy efficient than A rated products and the washing machines on our scheme must be AAA - that's A for energy, A for wash quality and A for spin.

The criteria is set by an independent panel and reviewed annually. In addition we test a percentage of our products so you can rest assured that where there's a logo there's a smarter choice.

We also endorse products in categories where there isn't a statutory EU energy label for example glazing, Televisions with integrated digital decoders (IDTVs) and boilers.

We aim to make it easy. The idea is that whatever the product, whichever the labelling system - all you need to do is look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo.
