Dyson, who won it in court and saw the objections to the energy labels of the cordless vacuum cleaners that did not reflect the real energy efficiency of the appliances, deceiving consumers, was a real dust. For this they will have to be revised.
Historic victory for Dyson, the Court of the European Union establishes that the energy labels of the corded vacuum cleaner must be redone. The de facto ruling cancels the regulation on the certification of devices that until now had to be tested empty and without bags. But in this way, the label did not reflect the real capacity of the appliance which was then subject to greater effort in operation.
“Today's is good news and a win for consumers in Europe. We have long argued that the Commission has committed two legal violations to the detriment of European consumers and Dyson, ”writes a spokesperson for the Dyson company that has been fighting this battle for years.
What happened?
The Dyson that markets the bagless vacuum cleaner had filed an appeal because, in fact, it felt penalized by the 2014 regulation misleading consumers about the energy efficiency of vacuum cleaners, as the cleaning effectiveness would not be measured during the use, but only with the dust container empty.
"This has benefited traditional, predominantly German manufacturers who have lobbied Commission officials. Some manufacturers have actively circumvented this regulation by using low engine power in testing and using technology to automatically boost it as the machine progresses. fills with dust - by doing so, the appliance appears more energy efficient. This software allowed them to circumvent the spirit of the regulation, with the approval of the European Court which considers it acceptable because it complies to the letter with the law, ”continues the company.
But now things have changed because unless recourse is made, the energy label for vacuum cleaners becomes null and a new regulation will have to be approved that also includes tests with vacuum cleaners at full load, so as to measure their effective efficiency in throughout the cycle of use.
