EU: energy label on smartphones and tablets
Applies: · Last checked: 4 November 2026
Since 20 June 2025, smartphones and tablets sold in the EU carry an energy label: an A–G efficiency class, battery endurance per charge and in cycles, drop and repairability scores, and a QR code to the EPREL database. Leave room for it on the box or the shelf card.
