This label indicates whether shower heads, fittings and water-saving attachments are energy-efficient by classifying them in categories from A (high level of efficiency) to G (low level of efficiency). The aim with this label is to increase people's awareness of the need to use hot water more sparingly. This benefits the environment and also reduces costs. The production of hot water requires a great deal of energy – in a modern house or apartment, often more than is required for room heating.

Greater transparency
SwissEnergy defined the criteria for this label together with manufacturers of bathroom products and specialised trade and industry associations. Classifying products in seven categories (A to G) makes it easier for buyers to compare them. This new method of labelling is gradually replacing the former one. The focus on the new classification scale will make it easier for buyers to identify energy-efficient products.
