Label Designs

Every different type of product will need to have a slightly different label as there is different information that will need to disclosed. For example, shower and tap labels must state whether the fixture is intended for use in mains or low pressure situations. Dishwasher labels must state the number of place settings and clothes washing machines must state the load capacity. Toilets need to give information for full and half flush as well as the average flush volume. Where a toilet does not have a dual-flush mechanism, then the half-flush number of the label will be recorded as zero.

This discussion document does not provide a model for what every label is proposed to look like, however, to give an idea of the label the following shows a shower with a three star rating and a shower with a zero star rating (water warning label).

Mock Shower With three Star Rating:

Is there other information you would like to be included or excluded from the water efficiency label?
