The Government of Georgia has formally introduced a nationwide regulation that requires all electronic display products such as televisions, monitors, and digital touch screens to carry standardized energy efficiency labels. This move is part of a broader effort to align Georgia’s product labeling framework with EU regulatory standards and enhance consumer awareness around energy use.
The new rule, titled “Technical Regulation on the Rules for Energy Labeling of Electronic Displays,” defines how manufacturers, retailers, and online platforms must disclose energy consumption information to consumers. The regulation took effect following its publication and is applicable to all relevant products placed on the Georgian market.
Scope of Applicability and Exemptions
The regulation covers a wide range of display technologies used in both consumer and professional environments. However, certain categories of equipment are explicitly excluded from the scope. These include:
Displays with a screen area smaller than 100 cm²
Projectors, security monitors, and medical imaging screens
Broadcast production equipment and virtual reality headsets
Digital signage that does not operate as a standalone screen
Interactive whiteboards and displays integrated into other products
This selective applicability ensures the regulation targets mainstream consumer electronics while excluding specialized or technical-use equipment that does not fit typical household or commercial display criteria.
Labeling and Disclosure Requirements
Under the new rules, each electronic display must be accompanied by a printed or affixed energy label. This label must display:
The energy efficiency class (ranging from A to G)
Power consumption in watts per 1,000 hours for both SDR and, if applicable, HDR modes
A QR code linking to the model’s technical details
Screen size and resolution
The product must also include a comprehensive information sheet in the Georgian language. In addition, all advertisements—whether in print, online, or digital signage—must clearly state the energy class and reference the full energy rating scale.
Online sellers and hosting platforms are now required to display both the energy label and technical product data on webpages that promote or offer these devices for sale.
Measurement Standards and Market Oversight
All energy and technical performance data must be obtained using standardized measurement methods. These procedures account for display brightness, automatic brightness control settings, and the presence of sensors such as occupancy or voice recognition systems.
Market surveillance will be conducted by authorized bodies in accordance with Georgia’s Law on Energy Labeling and Government Resolution No. 539. Products found to misrepresent energy performance or labeling will be subject to enforcement actions, including withdrawal from the market.
These new rules are part of Georgia’s broader environmental and consumer protection goals and reflect growing international expectations around energy transparency in electronics.
