NDRC, AQSIQ and CNCA on October 17, 2008 jointly issued "The People's Republic of China to implement energy efficiency labeling of the product catalog (fourth)," the implementation details and related products . This directory contains the storage-type
Water Heater Other six types of products, and provides for the six types of products must be from March 1, 2009 price increase implemented energy-efficiency labeling. At present, the storage-type electric
Water heater Mandatory labeling has entered the countdown stage. With growing consumer awareness of, and the guidance of national energy policies, energy conservation has become a marketing tool for many enterprises, storage-type electric water heater will also be upgraded into an energy war era.
A positive attitude toward big business
Storage-type electric water heater energy efficiency standards, "storage-type electric water heater limit value of energy efficiency and energy efficiency rating" on November 1, 2008 began the formal implementation of its storage-type electric water heater to the energy efficiency rating is divided into five. One is the most energy-efficient products; two are energy-saving evaluation value, the product energy efficiency to achieve Level 2 or above on a voluntary basis to the certification body for energy-saving product certification, by testing and factory inspection qualified to receive certification and paste the energy label; 5 Class is limited to the value of energy efficiency for the market access threshold, lower than the value of the product will not be on the market.
In accordance with the relevant provisions of the March 1 this year, the storage-type electric water heaters will be mandatory labeling. The reporter called the electric water heater business and found that the labeling for the major companies are very positive attitude.
Haier electric water heater relevant person in charge told the "China Electronics News" reporter: "Haier to the standard one year ahead of the product was validated, and combined with the strategic positioning and market demand, adjust their product mix, and then with the implementation of standards, for energy efficiency for the record label. "
Million and Southern District manager Lawrence Wong also said with certainty: "thousand and will be in effect on March 1 in accordance with the provisions of unconditional product labeling." Siemens
Home Appliances Tang Jianrong, director of products, said: "Siemens has a special logo to implement energy efficiency group, responsible for energy efficiency standards analysis, implementation and enforcement." Macro, Whirlpool and other business executives said, has been actively engaging in the work related to labeling.
Needs to be emphasized that the electric water heater, including water, that is heat and heat pump water heater, electric water heater as the work of these three principles and evaluation indicators have great differences, therefore, these three criteria for electric water heater were developed. The labeling for the storage-type electric water heater products.
Business objective response to pressure Although the storage-type electric water heater
mandatory labeling has entered the countdown stage, but the reaction from the industry, energy efficiency compliance for major corporations product pressure is not obvious.
Compared with some countries, China's electric water heater market relatively late start, the enforcement of energy efficiency labeling system is relatively late, but the starting point for our water heater products, technology is not low. Many companies took part in product design as an important index of energy considered.
Relevant person in charge of Haier, said electric water heater, Haier now has no less than five energy-efficient products. Siemens Tang Jianrong said that Siemens was established in 2005 on energy efficiency testing laboratory to study water heater energy savings, has accumulated a wealth of experience. Million, and Lawrence Wong said: "million and electric water heater now mostly three and four energy-efficient products, not five energy efficiency products."
CNIS energy-efficiency labeling management center Deputy Director Wang Ruohong also predicted the labeling would be more successful. The one hand, electric water heater market is relatively mature, companies have realized the significance of energy-efficiency labeling the other hand, since the electric water heater is the development and implementation of energy efficiency standards since the company has been in the energy-saving technologies have improved products.
However, this does not mean that there is no pressure on the industry. Wang Ruohong said the market an energy-efficient products and rare.
