According to the results of a study conducted in 2013, the sectoral distribution of electricity consumption is as follows: 47, 23, 19, 4, 2, 5, XNUMX and XNUMX.

In the same study, the electricity consumption rates of the electrical appliances were examined: 31 on the refrigerator, 15 on the air conditioner, 12 on the lighting percent, 9 on the washing machine, 9 on the washing machine, 7 on the television, 4 on the dishwasher, 3 on the dishwasher and 10 on the other. In short, white goods used in homes attract almost half of the electricity consumed. The share of white goods in the net electricity consumption of our country is 10.

The aim is to reduce energy consumption in certain performance conditions of electrical appliances in households. The specific performance conditions are included in the standards and related legal regulations determined by the relevant institutions. There are two important points here. The first is the criteria that determine the low energy consumption, and the second is the criteria that will provide high performance.

Based on the regulations to reduce the energy consumption and the emission of greenhouse gases released by the European Union, the following regulations have been put into force by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology for eco design and energy labeling.

• Regulation on Environmentally Responsible Design of Energy Related Products (Eco-Design)
• Regulation on Energy and Other Resource Consumption of Products by Labeling and Standard Product Information (Energy Labeling)

In short, the Energy Labeling Regulation was enacted in order to inform consumers about the energy consumption of electrical products and to use more efficient products in this way.

The company that manufactures the device is responsible for regulating the energy label. The product must contain sufficient information to mislead consumers. This will enable consumers to make informed and accurate decisions about purchasing. The information on the label shall be readable and not to be deleted. It is forbidden to have any information, signs, writings or symbols to mislead consumers. A question of the manufacturers is to ensure the labeling of consumers and the awareness of consumers about energy efficiency.

If it is determined that the products offered to consumers are not suitable, necessary measures will be taken to make the product suitable for a certain period of time by taking into account the damages to the consumers. If the nonconformity persists, the product may be withdrawn from the market or prevented from being placed on the market.

According to the regulation, energy efficiency classes are defined as A, B, C, D, E, F and G and these classes correspond to a certain amount of energy and cost savings. A +, A ++ and A +++ classes can be used to classify the most efficient class in terms of technological developments.

Tests for determining the energy efficiency of electrical appliances are carried out by authorized testing and inspection bodies in accordance with relevant legal regulations and standards issued by domestic and foreign organizations.
