What if the product listed on the energyrating web site does not appear to be available in the shops?
The web site lists all registered products. Registrations typically remain viable for 5 years. At times, some of these products may not be available in the market, however the registration remains valid and can be displayed on the public web site. Manufacturers have the facility to de-list a product (from the public web site) that is not presently available on the market, but many do not seem to take up this option. Some brands and models are only available through selected retailers or states. It is suggested that you contact the manufacturer to ascertain the status of the product availability in your area.
