the higher decimal.
Article 3
Depending on the score obtained, the following colour codes are used to display the index:
1. Score greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1.9: dark red, Pantone

The mandatory signage for the display of the durability index is the graphic representation con-
sisting of the words ‘durability index’ and the pictogram indicating the score of the index below
it
The font size of the digits in the score out of 10 must be at least the same as the font size of the
digits in the on-shelf price label. Any adjustment to the size of this signage must retain the pro-
portions of the elements.
Where the index is also affixed directly to each model unit or to the packaging by means of la-
