EU consultation
22 submissions from 19 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
10 submissions from industry — companies and their trade associations — against 11 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions.
Groupings use the respondent type each organization selected when filing. Counting submissions, not organizations — a body that filed twice is counted twice.
What the room declares
Self-declared to the EU Transparency Register (snapshot 30 Aug 2026). The cost figure sums band floors, so the true total is higher.

The opinion of the BDZV and VDZ is limited to the introduction of mandatory content requirements in visual advertising within the meaning of Article 3(1) (e) and Article 4 (c) in conjunction with Annex VII, which poses a significant risk to the financing of the free and independent press.

Opening of the attached position paper · the full paper is on the Commission’s record (source link above)
The ZAW refers in its opinion to the advertising requirements provided for in the draft Delegated Regulation for household washing machines and for household tumble driers under Article 3i (e), (f) and Article 4c (d) in conjunction with Annex VII. According to the ZAW, this goes beyond the material regulatory framework of the EU Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 on energy and turns out to be disproportionate.

APPLiA, the Association representing the home appliance in Europe, would like to welcome the Commission proposal for the review of the ecodesign and energy labelling requirements for Washing Machines and Washer-Dryers, and would like to thank the Commission for the possibility to provide comments through this platform.
We would like to support the draft Ecodesign and Energy Labelling regulations and particularly the new energy efficiency formulas, which are less linear and steep with capacity, thus avoiding the current encouragement to ever larger capacities. We also welcome the provisions to avoid programmes with too stretched durations, with a preference for the cap on duration in Ecodesign over indication on the energy label.

We welcome the European Commission proposal on Ecodesign and Energy labelling for household washing machines, and we highlight suggestions to improve the drafts. - Energy consumption in the 60°C program must be addressed and reduced. - All programs must reach the declared temperature in order not to mislead consumers. It is especially necessary for the 60°C program which is used for hygienic needs by e.g.

We would like to support the draft Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulations, and in particular the new energy efficiency formulas, less linear and more able, thus avoiding the current incentive for ever increasing capacities. We also welcome the provisions to avoid very lengthy programmes, with a preference for the duration indicated in Ecodesign on duration on the energy label.

A comment on the label design which specifies a blue colour for the QR code. Using blue rather than black has issues. Many manufacturers produce these labels in two stages. First by using a blank label pre-printed with information common to all models, for example the A through G colours.

EuroCommerce, representing the retailers and wholesalers in Europe, would like to thank the European Commission for the opportunity to provide again feedback regarding the review of energy labelling for household washing machines and washer-driers.
Our views on the Commission’s proposal are summarised in the attached paper: https://goo.gl/7XeaF8 We are in favour of Option 4 because Ecodesign & Energy Labelling requirements for household washing machines and washer driers help mitigate climate change, help EU citizens save on their bills, and we strongly support the Commission’s intention to better integrate domestic appliances in a Circular Economy through the…

LG Electronics wishes to provide the following feedback on the proposed draft regulations: Scope: The scope of the proposed drafts covers all washing machines and washer dryers, irrespective of their capacity. This is problematic for appliances with small capacity, especially when taking into account that the new regulations also change how efficiency is evaluated, by including treatments with 1/4 loads in addition…

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
