The classification of energy efficiency classes has been adjusted for 2021, there are now no longer A+, A++ or A+++, only from A to G. Therefore, the appliance is no longer A but class F in 2021. This is not a tragedy, because F is still better than G. The energy label has also been changed accordingly and there are now also other classifications depending on the product categories.

Since 2021, there are new or changed conditions regarding the energy declaration. The meaning of the energy efficiency classes and the classification of appliances into them have changed.
