What is the EU Energy Star program?

What is the EU Energy Star program?

• A. It certifies the recyclability of electronics
• B. It was developed from an agreement between the EU and US to standardise how IT equipment was labelled to show the energy used
• C. It is a program for reducing water consumption in appliances
• D. It sets price ranges for IT devices

Answer: (B)

Energy Star is a voluntary labeling scheme that helps people identify products that use less energy. The EU Energy Star version was created to harmonize how IT equipment is labeled across Europe, building on the original agreement between the EU and the US to standardize energy-use information on these devices. It’s about energy efficiency, not recyclability, water use, or price.
