Basic introduction

In August 2004, the national development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine of the people's Republic of China jointly formulated and issued the measures for the administration of energy efficiency labeling (hereinafter referred to as the measures), which indicates that China will implement the energy efficiency labeling system.
China energy efficiency label is an information label attached to the product or the smallest package of the product. It is used to indicate the energy efficiency level and other performance indicators of energy consuming products. It provides necessary information for users and consumers to make purchase decisions, so as to guide users and consumers to choose energy-efficient products. The establishment and implementation of energy efficiency labeling system is of great significance to improve the energy efficiency of energy consuming equipment, enhance the awareness of energy conservation of consumers, accelerate the construction of energy-saving society, and alleviate the energy constraint contradiction faced by building a well-off society in an all-round way.
According to the measures, the national development and Reform Commission, the AQSIQ and the CNCA are responsible for the establishment and implementation of the energy efficiency labeling system. All products listed in the catalogue shall be marked with a unified energy efficiency label on the obvious part of the product or the smallest package of the product, and shall be explained in the product manual. Energy efficiency labeling adopts the implementation mode of self declaration and filing of producers or importers, and strengthening supervision and management by relevant government departments.
China's energy efficiency labeling system was implemented on March 1, 2005
In accordance with the provisions of the measures, the national development and Reform Commission, the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and certification administration of the people's Republic of China formulated and issued the product catalog of the people's Republic of China implementing energy efficiency labeling (the first batch), the basic pattern of China's energy efficiency labeling, the implementation rules of energy efficiency labeling for household ice boxes, and the implementation rules for energy efficiency labeling of room air conditioners (No. 71, 2004). Since March 1, 2005, energy efficiency labeling system will be implemented for refrigerators and air conditioners.
The energy efficiency label is on a blue and white background, with the words "China energy label" on the top and sticky on the back, which is required to be pasted on the front panel of the product. The structure of the logo can be divided into background information column, energy efficiency level display column and product related index display column. As an information label, the energy efficiency label intuitively indicates the energy efficiency level, energy consumption index and other important performance indicators of energy consumption products. The energy efficiency grade is the most important index to judge whether the product is energy-saving. The lower the energy efficiency level of the product, the higher the energy efficiency, the better the energy-saving effect and the more power saving. At present, China's energy efficiency label divides energy efficiency into five grades: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Level 1 indicates that the product has reached the international advanced level, with the most power saving, that is, the lowest energy consumption; Level 2 means more power saving; Grade 3 indicates that the energy efficiency of the product is the average level of China's market; Grade 4 indicates that the energy efficiency of the product is lower than the market average; Grade 5 is the market access index. Products below the level are not allowed to be produced and sold. In order to popularize the awareness of energy saving and efficiency increasing among various consumer groups, the energy efficiency rating display board uses three forms of expression to directly express the energy efficiency level information: first, the text part "low, medium, high energy consumption"; Second, the digital part "1, 2, 3, 4, 5"; Third, according to the emotion represented by color, the grade indicator color code is arranged, in which red represents prohibition, orange represents warning, and green represents environmental protection and energy conservation.
Therefore, energy efficiency labeling can enable consumers to compare the energy-saving effects of different products, so that consumers can buy more energy-saving and more money-saving products.

Scope of product certification

Certification process

Step 1: product testing
Energy efficiency test shall be conducted in qualified laboratory.
According to the corresponding national energy efficiency standards, the center will issue an energy efficiency test report. The test report is an important basis for the energy consumption index of the product energy efficiency label. The original report shall be submitted to the energy efficiency label management center for review and record.

Step 2: making energy efficiency standard fabric

In order to maintain the seriousness of the labeling system, facilitate market supervision, and effectively improve consumers' recognition and cognitive ability, China's energy efficiency labeling has strict uniform requirements. The basic styles of energy efficiency labels, shapes, colors, patterns and overall layout of various products are consistent, but the dimensions and energy consumption indicators are different. Therefore, enterprises should make energy efficiency labels according to the requirements of corresponding product implementation rules.
Please click to download the energy efficiency label sample in CorelDRAW format. Open it with CorelDRAW version 11.0 or above (with Founder font library) to mark the name of manufacturer, specification and model, energy efficiency grade and energy efficiency index. The energy efficiency grade and energy efficiency index shall be determined according to the test report. The energy efficiency index shall not exceed the value range of corresponding energy efficiency grade, and the energy efficiency index of the tested sample shall meet the marked value in the energy efficiency label.
The energy efficiency label should be printed with 80 grams of coated paper and pasted on the obvious position of the product or the smallest package with self-adhesive. A sample of identification shall be provided for review when filing.

Step 3: fill in the record information online
The first step is to register enterprise users in China energy efficiency label network (www.energylabel. Gov.cn). The basic information of the enterprise must be provided, and the registration will be completed after the administrator's review (about 3 days).
After successful registration, log in and add information related to product filing, mainly the information marked by energy efficiency label.
For more detailed information, please refer to the "service guide" column on the left of the home page of China energy efficiency labeling network.

Step 4: submit the required text materials for filing
Submit the following text materials to China Energy Efficiency Label Management Center:
Copy of the manufacturer's business license or registration certificate;
Enterprise information form of energy efficiency label filing;
Energy efficiency label samples; (see Step 2)
Record form of energy efficiency label;
Energy efficiency test report; (see Step 1)
When brand authorization or OEM production is involved, it is required to provide:
Authorization for brand use;
Energy efficiency label filing OEM statement;
If the producer is an enterprise registered overseas, the importer is also one of the responsible parties. Therefore, it is also necessary to provide:
Copy of the importer's business license or registration certificate;
Information form of importer enterprise;
A copy of the relevant contract signed between the importer and the foreign producer;
After receiving the written filing materials, the energy efficiency label management center generally gives feedback or rectification within 10 working days. After filing, it will be published on China energy efficiency labeling network, and relevant information can be inquired according to record number, producer name or model.
