Future product labels
may tell everything
By LOUISE COOK
Associated Press Writer
The federal government is
trying to take some of the
guesswork out of shopping by
encouraging manufacturers to
provide labels telling con
sumers everything from how
well a product performs to how
much noise it makes.
Most of the programs are still
in their infancy, but officials
said efforts will be made to
avoid overlapping labels and
duplication of information.

The latest move is a Com
merce Department program on
performance. The program,
which is strictly voluntary on
the part of the manufacturers,
is designed to give information
on such things as load capacity,
strength and durability so shop
pers are better able to compare
competing models and brands
of appliances and other prod
ucts.
The data will be provided by
manufacturers on the basis of
tests developed by the Com
merce Department’s National
Bureau of Standards. The gov
ernment itself will not do the
actual testing.
Other federal programs in the
area of product information
include a proposal by the Envi
ronmental Protection Agency
for noise labels and efforts by
the Federal Energy Adminis
tration to help shoppers learn
about operating costs and ener
gy consumption of appliances.
Thus far, the performance la
beling project is limited to a
one-year pilot program which
began June 24. The first step,
according to officials, is to de
cide which products should be
labeled and both consumers and
manufacturers have been asked
for suggestions.
The government hopes to de
velop labels for between one
and three products in the first
year. At the end of the 12-month
period, the results will be
evaluated so officials can
decide whether to continue the
program.
Robert Mills of the Office of
Product Standards said last
week that the office was still
collecting comments, but hoped

to have recommendations

“We would then publish pro
posed labels and proposed
