<p>Commission Decision (EU) 2020/1804 of 27 November 2020 establishes the EU Ecolabel criteria for electronic displays, covering products such as televisions, computer monitors, and digital signage displays. It replaces earlier criteria for televisions to reflect new technologies and sustainability priorities. The Decision aims to reduce the environmental impact of electronic displays throughout their life cycle by promoting energy efficiency, reducing hazardous substances, and encouraging repairability, recyclability, and the use of recycled materials.The criteria also address responsible production practices by requiring manufacturers to follow social and environmental due diligence, including fair labour standards and responsible sourcing of minerals. In addition, products must provide clear consumer information on energy-saving use, repair options, and end-of-life disposal. Valid until 31 December 2028.</p>

Commission Decision (EU) 2020/1804 establishing the EU Ecolabel criteria for electronic displays

The Commission Decision 2009/300/EC establishes the revised ecological criteria for the award of the Community Eco-label to televisions. In line with Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 on Eco-Labelling, one of the key criterion to gain the label is energy efficiency. The document specifies that the manufacturer shall display the information that energy efficiency cuts energy consumption and thus saves money by reducing electricity bills. Commission Decision 2018/59 tightens the maximum energy consumption and specifications of the Energy Efficiency Index set out in Decision 2009/300/EC.
