CEL

Introducing QR code for the China Energy Label (CEL).Back in spring the Chinese authorities AQSIQ (General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of P.R. China) and NDRC (National Development and Reform Commission) drafted a change of the energy efficiency labeling. The intention is to make it easier for Chinese consumers to check on the energy efficiency of a product using online media.See below example:[caption id="attachment_1345" align="alignnone" width="182"] credit: 24.08.2016: https://www.cnca.gov.cn/xxgk/ggxx/2016/201608/W020160803588217825962.pdf[/caption]With immediate effect the labels have to be adjusted and get approval from the China Energy Label Center (CELC). Starting October 1^st 2016 the import of products to China carrying the old efficiency label will be problematic.What has also changed is that web shops have to include the QR-code in their product description. Distributors have to do incoming goods inspections, to check on the CELC-registration and ensure that only conformal goods are traded.For more information please contact:Cisema China Certification GmbHTel.: +49 89 4161 7389 - 00Fax: +49 89 7484 9956info@cisema.dewww.cisema.com

Energy efficiency labeling requirements for electric motors in the People's Republic ChinaThe two recent successive announcements with numbers 136 and 137 of the ELAC (Energy Label Administration of China) re-regulate the energy efficiency labeling of electric motors in the People's Republic China. In addition, the update of GB standard 18613-2006 with number GB 18613-2012 was implemented without transition. Currently, the old label is accepted still, but for the next annual report to the ELAC, the current standard must be specified. For this reason, the type of tests must be carried out according to GB 18613-2012 as soon as possible.Currently, the energy efficiency labeling is valid for electric drives for 3-phase asynchronous motors. In the future, synchronous motors with permanent magnets and 3-phase induction motors will be affected also.More information on energy efficiency labeling in the VR China can be obtained from us.
