It contributes to sustainable development by increasing energy efficiency and the level of protection of the environment, while at the same time increasing the security of the energy supply (article 4). Products covered by implementing measures may be placed on the market and/or put into service only if they comply with those measures and fulfill the labeling and CE marking requirements as those are set forth in article 7 to this law.
