YES, the glycol cabinets are not excluded from the Regulations therefore they must bear the energy label. 

For the purposes of Union harmonization legislation, a product is placed on the market when it is first made available on the EU market. This operation is reserved to the manufacturer or importer, who are the only economic operators placing products on the market.
When a manufacturer or importer supplies a product to a distributor or end user for the first time, this operation is always referred to in legal terms as 'placing on the market'. Any subsequent operation, for example from distributor to distributor or from distributor to end user, is referred to as 'making available'. For our kind of products, the moment in time when the product is placed on the market is when there is the transfer of property with the client, i.e. which generally is considered the invoice date.
 

With reference to the requirements and obligations for the supplier stated in the Regulations, any product that differs from another for basic characteristics, product temperature class, TDA/volume or energy consumption must be labeled individually.
However, the Eurovent Interpretation Guideline introduces the “cluster” approach, i.e. a set of cabinets identified as one model for the purposes of Ecodesign, Energy Labelling and EPREL. Within some limits, manufacturers can group different models into one model, which is representative of the highest EEI (i.e. worst score) of the listed family.
 

YES, the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/340 of 17 December 2020 amending the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2018 (Energy labelling) and the Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/341 of 23 February 2021 amending Regulations (EU) 2019/2024 (Ecodesign) have been published February 26th 2021 and include the coefficients for M0 class as proposed by Eurovent PG-RDC.

Refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function placed on the European market from March 1st, 2021, must be supplied with the Energy Label, irrespective of the manufacturing date. The time of placing on the market is the invoice date, which corresponds to the transfer of property of the goods.

The energy label must be clearly displayed in any point of sale such as showrooms, trade fairs, online sales, etc., i.e. wherever the potential cabinet buyer may consider purchasing the appliance. On the contrary, there is no obligation for food retailers to display the energy label in their stores.

Point VII for refrigerated vending machines is the sum of the net volumes of all compartments with chilled operating temperatures (expressed in liters (L) and rounded to the nearest integer), and for all other refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function it is the sum of the display areas (TDA) with chilled operating temperatures (expressed in square meters (m2) and rounded to two decimal places).
Point IX for refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function is the sum of the display areas with frozen operating temperatures, expressed in square meter (m2) and rounded to two decimal places. The pictogram and the values are omitted in the case of vending machines that are designed to work at frozen operating temperatures because they are excluded from the Energy Labelling Regulation.

Commercial refrigeration generates more than 40% of the energy consumption of a medium- size supermarket.

Epta has been entered once again into the ADI Design Index, the annual ADI publication, Association for Industrial Design, which presents a selection of the best projects portraying the typical value and quality of Made in Italy.

The vast range of after-sales services offered by Epta with its EptaService brand is enriched by new features, available on its online platform, dedicated to the purchase of spare parts.

The Epta Group is proud to celebrate thirty years of collaboration with FREDDO S.A., one of the largest distributors in the commercial refrigeration sector in Greece and Cyprus. The partnership goes back to 1990, when the CEO of FREDDO Mr. George Lionis, signed the agreement for the distribution of Costan brand in Greece.
