Quod est?
The EU Ecolabel helps you identify products and services that have a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle, from the extraction of raw material through to production, use and disposal. Recognised throughout Europe, EU Ecolabel is a voluntary label promoting environmental excellence which can be trusted.
Page 3Ecolabel – EHPA presentation – 15 February 2013
The EU Ecolabel was launched in 1992 when the European Community decided to develop a Europe-wide voluntary environmental scheme that consumers could trust. Since then, the number of products and services awarded the EU Ecolabel has increased every year. By the end of 2011, more than 1,300 licences had been awarded, and today, the EU Ecolabel can be found on more than 17,000 products. A licence gives a company the right to use the EU Ecolabel logo for a specific product group.

pumps• The EU Ecolabel logo on Heat pumps tells you:
– The product has improved energy efficiency during heating and cooling modes.
– The product reduces or prevents the risks for the environment and for human health related to the use of hazardous substances.
– The product has a lower global warming impact.– It contains instructions for correct environmental use.
