The study examined the post-monitoring programs under the energy efficiency labeling program in developed countries. This study suggests a few solutions to improve the post-monitoring activities under the program. First, samples should be selected from each category for the post-monitoring activities, taking account of the consumer's continuous buying behavior. Second, it is necessary to check of detailed label contents and to perform the frequent monitoring the reinforcement of the measurement of items which have violated labeling more than once over the past few years.

This study suggests a few solutions to improve the post-monitoring activities under the Energy Efficiency Labeling Program. First, samples should be selected from each category for the post-monitoring activities, taking account of the consumer's continuous buying behavior, while it is also important to form and operate a deliberation committee. Second, it is necessary to alleviate the checking process of the label content of 9 items which have never been violated the labeling regulation since 2005. This study suggests the detailed checking of label contents and the reinforcement of the measurement of 17 items which have violated labeling more than once over the past few years. Third, this study suggests that the entire post-monitoring process should be disclosed and be posted on the websites of related agencies and on the Internet in general.
