The most important changes are:
1) All kind of products – EE label without BY mark (was applicable till December 31, 2019) is excluded from the standards.
2) TV set/TV monitor – EE scale is A+++ to D. Interrelation EE index/EE class is not changed.
3) Air conditioner – designation of standard СТБ 2480-2016 is removed.
Products according to previously issued certificates must be imported and sold with an updated Energy Efficiency label.
