The China Energy Label System for household refrigerators and room air conditioners came into force on 1st March 2005.
The China Energy Label System for household refrigerators and room air conditioners came into force on 1st March 2005.
The China Energy Label System has been established and is controlled by three organisations: the National Development and Reform Commission, the State General Administration for Quality Supervision and the Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ); and the Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) of PR of China.
In addition these, the China National Institute of Standardisation is the Government agency administering the scheme.
All manufacturers wishing to market their household refrigerators or room air conditioners in China need to meet the requirements of the new standards.
This approval consists of: self-declaration of compliance (similar to CE marking); registration with the Government-authorised organisation; and a market surveillance (handled by the agent or importer).
Products that are subject to the Compulsory China Energy Label scheme must declare the energy efficiency in the product user manual and mark the product with a label.
Manufacturers should therefore apply for the registration with the authorised body within a maximum of 30 days after use of the energy label on your product.
The standards that must be met are: GB12021.2-2003 for household refrigerators; and GB12021.2-2004 for room air conditioners.
With TUV Rheinland Group, the approval procedure is composed of three stages that can be carried out in just few weeks.
First is the product evaluation against the applicable standard - this can be done by the manufacturer itself or by an accredited third party organisation (such as TUV).
Second is the supply of the documentation to TUV.
Finally, after a successful review, the registration information will be published on the relevant Chinese Government web page and a notice sent to the manufacturer from TUV via e-mail confirming that the application has been completed successfully.
All the documents should be in Chinese language (or when the documents are in a foreign language, Chinese translation should be attached).
All registration information will be in Chinese language.
After TUV has received all the completed documents, the company will need only ten days to arrange registration and to give access to the Chinese market.
No samples need to be sent to China for evaluation and a factory inspection is not required; the local importer will take full responsibilities for the supervision of the scheme.
