Samsung Joins EU Code of Conduct to Boost Smart Appliance Energy Efficiency

EU Code of Conduct

Samsung Electronics has officially signed the European Union Code of Conduct for interoperability and Energy Smart Appliances. This voluntary agreement is designed to speed up the adoption of connected household devices that coordinate with energy grids to improve electrical efficiency. By joining this initiative, the company aims to help households lower their energy consumption through better communication between appliances and power systems.

The new framework focuses on cross-brand interoperability, ensuring that smart devices can talk to energy management systems regardless of the specific technical protocol they use. Samsung has already registered several product categories in the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling as compliant with these new standards. These include specific models of washers, dishwashers, and laundry combos that meet the criteria for Energy Smart Appliances.

SmartThings Energy and Optimal Scheduling

Consumers can access these efficiency features through the SmartThings app, which now includes an Optimal Scheduling tool. This feature allows the app to automatically run appliances during off-peak hours when electricity is often cheaper or more abundant. By automating these tasks, the system reduces the manual effort required for users to manage their home energy footprint.

The adoption of the EU Code of Conduct is part of a broader effort to integrate home appliances into the modern energy transition. As more devices become compatible with this standard, users will have more flexibility in how they manage high-energy tasks. Samsung stated that these connected appliances are a key part of helping households handle the shift toward more sustainable energy use.

Current owners of compatible Samsung appliances can find these energy-saving options within the SmartThings Energy section of the mobile application. The company continues to expand its list of registered devices to ensure a wider range of products supports the interoperability goals set by the European Union.
