Views sought on the introduction of mandatory water efficiency labelling on water using products

The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) have launched a joint consultation with other devolved administrations on plans to introduce mandatory water efficiency labelling across the United Kingdom.

The proposal is to label water using products such as taps, showers, toilets, dishwashers and washing machines.

The consultation sets out:

  • the proposed approach
  • products covered by the label
  • label design and features
  • label display
  • standards to support the label

 Your responses will shape the development of processes, guidance and secondary legislation.
