Solar energy efficiency labeling (3) _ smoke child

Do, rather than doing nothing at all! solar water heater is the minimum allowable value if a level 5, 90% of products shortlisted, what substantive significance in the interview process, many people in the industry, shaking his head. Is the rejection of 50% of the product to the door on meaningful? no matter how national policies, in the final analysis, the solar thermal industry is China's economy on the whole chess a pawn. Energy efficiency labeling system for raising the level of energy-saving products, energy consumption, the society has played a certain effect, but really to "Paste" into the household appliance manufacturers and consumers mind, much remains to be done. Energy efficiency labeling, "standard" shall. "" Whether solar energy efficiency labeling finally what standards classified according to the standards of its own authority and operability is unquestionable. If the source did not clarify, surely it is looks behind. Solar water heating system efficiency indicators focused on two points: collector and hot, how effective these points, the product quality can only be guaranteed by half, the other half depends on installation. Setup also does not have a unified standard, due to the geographical environment and its variations. Install links on how to estimate the energy efficiency of the current or a blind?. National development and Reform Commission, the national standardization Management Board and other departments jointly proposed solar industry should establish "household solar water heating systems limited values of energy-efficiency rating of standard, solar Enterprise energy efficiency labeling of assessment will be based on this standard. National Solar Standardization Technical Committee in March, Wuhan City, Hubei Province solar exhibition taking part of the Exhibitor products for evaluation, measurement data as a standard formulation effectiveness level of technical support, the national standardization Technical Committee with the Chinese solar thermal industry Federation, solar industry association, the national solar quality supervision and testing center to complete the work early. Detection capabilities in urgent need of improvement. The national testing center official running only one South North three, one in Beijing, one in Wuhan, one in Yunnan. In 2008 the Wuhan industry annual meeting, national solar water heater products quality supervision and testing center (Wuhan) Chief Engineer, Zhang Li said that the detection of existing problems in General in the national testing center is an urgent need to improve the level of hardware, followed by the national inspection limitations, it is difficult to cover the sectors most enterprises, it is difficult to do testing of all items. We cannot help but ask, when several Center test results comparable will not ? country solar water heater products quality supervision and testing center (Wuhan) Chief Engineer, Zhang Li we technically possible to take a number of ways, because first we all three units in one of the first, in the United Nations on UTP that project for a comparison, on solar water heater comparison results in a specified range, that is a good base to avoid this issue, we also develop specific measures, for example, we are in strict accordance with the national standard 191 and 18708 this programme, in the programme of the wide, through a discussion to determine the scope of this to a suitable range as much as possible and then further assurance; second, our solar units including our units require their own in the former must bring all facilities are in accordance with standard requirements to verification, the revised values to engage in. In addition to specific detection time, because of the tight time schedule, may end in mid-May, so according to weather conditions, our three sites have done the appropriate number of conventions. Market supervision, the much-needed strengthening. With the provisions on marking annotations, you need to check whether the system is identified, our energy efficiency labeling system mode is "enterprise self declaration + record + market supervision", if the law was not enacted strict supervision related sector, violators without strong disciplinary and legal becomes a dead letter. Implementing energy efficiency labeling, still need to carrot and stick. To market a full range of statistics and monitoring, requires a large amount of manpower and resources, in addition to strict quality inspection departments of Government, industry associations and enterprises should establish self monitoring mechanisms currently trades in the inputs and the intensity is still far from enough. As part of the Government, as an industry organization, you should assume the market supervision, management responsibilities. As the market gradually standardized in the future like energy efficiency labeling such enterprises will self declarative identify more and more. Establish a comprehensive supervision, publicity, punishment mechanisms is imminent. Checks must be regular and irregular, not qualified enterprises, products should clearly inform consumers, and must not be a mentor. But unqualified products should immediately withdraw from the sales terminal. For liar should also be given to severe penalties. The only way to make the attempt to trick consumers, enterprises, and in severe punishment, but not before attempting to identify a bad business to various deceive consumers. Energy efficiency labeling for consumers understand. And home appliance energy efficiency labeling on the contrary, the main appliance energy efficiency labeling is the power consumption is indicated, the main solar energy efficiency labeling should be identified on energy-saving capacity. This is probably the characteristics of solar energy efficiency label. This not only makes the solar water heater and water heater and gas water heater to Queens, but also to positive, positive point of guide consumers health spending. Energy efficiency labeling itself should be a piece of that paper, do not use some consumers do not understand, because of information asymmetry, consumers have in the consumerVulnerable process, consumers do not understand that some poor quality product. To improving the scientific literacy of consumers, businesses and industry really the consumer's point of view, on the ground to do many things. Zhejiang beauty big solar energy industry co., Ltd. Chairman Ronald Zhisheng solar water heater to implement energy efficiency labeling will undoubtedly increase product cost, for those who have reached the standard of the product concerned, as long as subsidies knowledge can, however, for those who do not meet the standard of enterprises, need a replacement part, such costs will inevitably rises, to the heavy burden of enterprises, resulting in a number of small and medium-sized product prices, however, people buy products when you see the energy efficiency labeling will produce the quality product identity. Energy efficiency labeling enforcement does not necessarily lead to industry reshuffle, but eventually obtain energy efficiency labeling for enterprises, through energy efficiency label promotion quickly to market, access to certain market share. To be sure, solar energy efficiency labeling for implement will eliminate some energy efficiency levels low. Editor's Note: in the energy-saving emission reduction of big situation, in low-carbon economy has become a global focus, low energy products more and more consumers, solar water heater itself as a product of energy saving and environmental protection, energy efficiency, but few have the knowledge, through energy efficiency labeling of distinction for solar water heaters, while also allowing sanliujiudeng consumer energy understanding more concrete. At present, the world has 37 countries and regions to implement energy efficiency labeling system, successfully slowed the electrical appliances, equipment and other energy consumption growth, encourage technology development, market competition, efficiency, product sales and market transformation has also a very effective and achieved significant energy saving, environmental protection and economic efficiency. The data show that the world as a result of the implementation of energy efficiency labeling scheme annual energy conservation worth up to $ 800 million. Nearly two years of practice has shown that energy efficiency labeling system to promote the improvement of energy-efficient products and energy-saving technology advances, the promotion of energy-using products in the market to efficient market transformation, energy consumption in the specification of product market, energy conservation, the protection of the environment plays an important role. Based on rigorous energy situation and the effectiveness of implementation, notably energy efficiency labeling system is imperative for intensive promotion. For related enterprises, they face not only a challenge, there are many more opportunities. Appendix Australia: Government is responsible for the implementation of the authority validation in order to ensure high quality implementation and improve reliability, the Australia Government implemented a national inspection and supervision of local government. Country checks refers to the retail shop purchase samples sent to the authorized independent laboratory testing to verify the accuracy of the energy efficiency labeling information. Because Australia is the Federal States, each State adopt supervisory measures also have their own characteristics. As Western Australia State are not affixed in the product identified by the retailer for warning, and to initiate proceedings, the amount of the fine in the prosecution of the 3000-8000 US dollars, retailers need to pay 450 ~ 1000 dollars in costs. Victoria introduce products in 2003, the unqualified, all surveyed retailers have been advised of the level of energy efficiency products and product announcements are not eligible. In the test, the Government and industry in a consensus on the test procedures, and use the NATA accredited laboratory, using national and international laboratories for loop test. In the test product sampling consensus, for example according to the statistical methods for sampling, you can consider complaints from competitors, consumer complaints. United States: United States private type certification was issued in 1975, the earliest of energy policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), to major home appliances has established the energy-saving plan. Mandatory energy efficiency labeling by the Federal Trade Commission in 1980. United States compulsory energy efficiency standards, identity and voluntary identification is implemented by the different departments of the organization. In April 1993, the then President Clinton signed the decree that requires all federal agencies of the Government procurement must be an "Energy Star" identifies the product, not only so that the "Energy Star" labeling system highly successful, making it the energy-saving benchmark for many countries. In the United States, energy efficiency standards and labeling for implement is a mixture of: industry-supported third-party authentication mechanism and the market policies between competitors (i.e.: competitors if it is found that the opponent's products do not meet requirements, will be reported). For mandatory market access system, the United States requested that sell a new product, the manufacturer or supplier to the Energy Department to submit a certification report. The report includes products of energy efficiency data and complete declaration of conformity. In addition, the supplier also requires each sale of a certain type of product is to submit a report, save for a period of not less than two years of testing record, when the Department of energy requirements for their records. Declaration of conformity must ensure compliance with energy-saving standards for the product; all required tests according to the proper test procedure; the information reported is true, accurate and complete; producers of punishment for offenders is very clear. Tunisia and the Philippines: the Government-controlled certification guarantees that each product of energy efficiency is the most complex methods: on all forthcoming on the market of products for random sampling test, the test organization under Government control. The Philippines has been using this method for many years. Tunisia's refrigerator energy efficiency labeling projects have also adopted this approach. In Tunisia, the market for each type of product is represented by a Government run by the laboratory for testing. Laboratory for each model of a single sample for testing. If producers accept test results, will be marked in the energy-efficiency label. Energy efficiency labeling by the Government Printing and made available to producers. If the manufacturer does not accept test results, they need their own money on the same model of other samples for further testing. Tests allow their presence. In order to reduce market sales of the product and sent for testing of samplesExist between the Government of Tunisia of error, also intend to market the random drawing some product verification testing. Canada: the minimum allowable values for the establishment of a mandatory certification system for Canada's natural resources department is responsible for a series of energy-efficient system of monitoring and enforcement procedures. Oversight requirements include: minimum energy performance standards, energy efficiency, energy efficiency labeling (EnerGuide), qualified identification (by the standards Council of Canada accreditation body), import requirements. Canada's implementation and supervision system mainly includes the following: monitoring and enforcement requirements of the laws and regulations: regulation of the dealer and the administrative burden to a minimum extent rely on partners (provincial governments, other federal government departments, certification bodies, etc.); through a third-party validation and monitoring; product independent testing; dealer self monitoring; Canada Customs on imported products to border checks; verify the import product information e-mail address (the same database) market research and for qualified and energy efficiency labeling for on-site inspection; public compliance policy: from promotion/education to the accused, including penalty; implementation and supervision of activities including: producers, distributors of self-monitoring; independent certification body for third-party monitoring; by government authorities (including the Ministry of natural resources Canada-designated agency, provincial partners, Canada Customs and border services). Measures include: conduct market research; testing; report on importation and the energy efficiency of electronic monitoring from the dealer, manufacturer, and customer complaints and tips. Japan: product leadership plan and most countries have taken the mandatory minimum energy performance standards (MEPS), Japan launched the "product leadership program" (Top Runner Program) to facilitate comparison between products, and to set energy efficiency targets for household appliances. Use the methods of the basic idea is: manufacturers will produce higher than current market's most energy-efficient products even better products. This method since 1998 began to set goals. Japan's energy efficiency labeling system can roughly be divided into the following categories: for product manufacturers of energy-saving identification system; the product vendor's consolidated energy conservation labeling system and vendor evaluation system, and designed for Office equipment for the energy star logo.
