The main objectives of SNFPI
market surveillance of non food products for safety and marking/labeling requirements
consumer rights protection, investigation of consumer complaints
promotion of fair competition in the market
SNFPI functions
· to control that products placed on the market conform to all relevant mandatory requirements for safety, marking and other legal acts
· to investigate consumer complaints regarding quality of non-food products and to protect consumer rights
· to consult and inform manufacturers, service providers, importers and sellers about the issues of non food products and services

BENEFITS OF HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES energy labeling
•Acquiring and using more efficient appliances, reducing electricity consumption.•The electricity consumption is decreasing in this way of effective energy use when producing electrical energy (environmental pollution, especially when fossil fuel is used in the electrical energy production)•Energy labels are not only energy efficiency labeling, but it is also the information about the device main technical data and information on noise, water consumption, etc.•The market is supplied with electrical energy using appliances that met the energy labeling requirements, and the buyer, taking into account the energy efficiency of the device and its financial capacity, choose which device to buy.

Requirements for the actors of supply chain
Manufacturers must establish the product's ecological profile. It must be based on environmentally relevant product characteristics and inputs/outputs throughout the product life cycle expressed in physical quantities that can be measured.
Wholsalers/Retailers must:To issue the label according to requirements of legal
acts;to attach the label in a clearly visible way outside on
the front or top of the product.
Electric energy power consumption requirements according to EU regulation Nr. 1275/2008
a) Power consumption in off mode :• equipment in any off mode condition power consumption shall not
exceed 1,00 W;b) Power consumption in standby mode :• equipment in any condition providing only a reactivation function, or only
a reactivation function and information of enabled reactivation function display, power consumption shall not exceed 1,00 W;
• equipment in any condition providing only information or status display, or only a reactivation function and information or status display, also a combination of electric energy consumption shall be no more than 2,00 W;
c) off and (or) standby mode equipment if it is inappropriate for its intended use, provide off mode and (or) of standby mode and (or) any other condition which does not exceed the off-and (or) the standby power consumption requirements, when the equipment is connected to the mains power source.
ENERGY LABELING REGULATIONSHousehold appliances energy and other resource consumption, labeling and standard
product information on these devices :
• Household electric refrigerators, freezers or combinations of energy labeling• Household washing machines energy label• Household electric tumble dryer energy labeling• Combined household washing machines with dryers for energy labeling• Household energy labeling for dishwashers• Household lamp and luminaires energy labeling• Household air-conditioning energy consumption labeling• Household electric ovens energy labeling• TV energy labeling• Tyres energy labeling• Vacuum cleaners energy labelling
Applies to built-in appliances, products displayed in furniture or design products, and products with packaging.
Physical inspection Physical inspection:
Type of Appliance selection for checking Visual checking Checking of Documents Testing (Screen testing in case suspicion of nonconformity) Sampling for testing in Accreditated laboratory (in case of
negative results of Screen testing) Recording of findings (Using of check-list – it is recomended) Proposal for Sanctions (if needed) Feedback of the results to Economic operator INFO Data base imput
Screen testing equipment for Ecodesign requirements
REGULATIONS OF THE 2010/30/EU DIRECTIVE
The Directive applies to energy-related products, which have a significant direct or indirect impact on energy and, where relevant, other essential resources consumption.
The Commission should give priority to energy-related products list, which can be taken as a delegated act under this Directive. The scope of the Directive to energy-related products, which have a significant direct or indirect impact on energy use, could reinforce the potential impact of existing legal instruments. Accurate, relevant and comparable information on energy-related products in specific energy consumption cases should influence the end-user's choice of products which directly or indirectly consume by using less energy and other essential resources, and thus prompting manufacturers to take steps to ensure that their products are consumed by less energy and other essential resources.
Examples of the new label format:
REGULATIONS OF THE 2010/30/EU DIRECTIVE
Label must contain such information:
• Energy consumption
• Wet grip
• The external rolling noise
• Tire class (C1 or C2)
Label consists of two parts: label and brand position. Brand space: Suppliers should point not only the label, but also in its own brand name , tire line, tire size, load index, speed rating and other technical specifications of any color, format and if it does not detract from the label information or prevent its view.

TIRE LABEL
Incorrect labelling - evidence (1)• No labels at all• Only old label’s data strip• More then one different data strips• Free stile (Do-It-Yourself) labels made by

• Label placed on product only (sold in a box)• Label placed on box only not on product if
product sold in a box• Different labels (Inside old Outside new label or
oposit)• Aditional information (not required) covering
