EU Energy labelling Household appliances offered for sale, must be accompanied by a fiche and a label providing information relating to their consumption of energy (electrical or other) or of other essential resources. For this appropriate test methods are required. For Solar supported gas-fired domestic appliances producing hot water : EN 13203: Part 3: Assessment of energy consumption We developed one of the methods in the standard 13 Advanced energy concepts for solar buildings 14 7
