Hi Rich, The doc's stated purpose for the mark is as follows:
"The international efficiency marking protocol provides a system for EPS manufacturers to designate the minimum efficiency performance of an EPS, *so that finished product manufacturers and government representatives can easily determine a unit’s efficiency. *" Class VI is more stringent than Class V, and has been mandatory in the US since February 2016.
