What is the difference between a label and a certificate?

A certificate provides evidence of the quality of a single megawatt hour of electrical energy.

A label provides the consumer with proof of the quality of supplied energy, according to an agreed set of criteria. The claims made by such labels may be supported by the supplier, by proving that it owns a certificate for each megawatt hour of supplied energy during the period of supply.
