Use the energy_efficiency_class
, min_energy_efficiency_class
, and max_energy_efficiency_class
attributes to tell users the energy label of your product.
When to use
Optional for each product
The energy_efficiency_class
, min_energy_efficiency_class
, and max_energy_efficiency_class
attributes are optional, but you may be required to provide this information based on local laws or regulations. For example, if your products target any of the EU member states or Switzerland, consider the legal requirements on this matter defined in the national implementation acts of the EU directive 2017/1369 and any other applicable local law.
It’s strongly recommended that you submit energy_efficiency_class
, min_energy_efficiency_class
, and max_energy_efficiency_class
for applicable products. You might need provide this class for these types of products:

Minimum requirements
These are the requirements you'll need to meet to show your product. If you don't follow these requirements, we'll disapprove your product and let you know in the Diagnostics page in your Merchant Center account.
- The
min_energy_efficiency_class
value must be smaller than themax_energy_efficiency_class
value. For example, your scale must run from A to D rather than D to A. - The
energy_efficiency_class
value you provide must be within the range of themin_efficiency_class
value and themax_energy_efficiency_class
value. For example, if your range runs from A to D, yourenergy_efficiency_class
value may not be G.
Best practices
These best practices can help you go beyond the basic requirements to optimize your product data for performance.
- Submit either the
unit_pricing_measure
orenergy_efficiency_class
attribute; do not submit both. If both attributes are present, onlyenergy_efficiency_class
will be shown.
