Energy Saving

Climatic change is an urgent environmental issue. Almost every activity of human beings may produce greenhouse gases. This is a big challenge we encounter when facing the climatic change issue.

As the energy saving and carbon reduction become a tendency,

the green requirements of electromechanical and electronic products are focusing on the waste of energy and cost that occurs invisibly due to efficiency conversion and in the standby mode.

As the statistical figures of the International Energy Agency (IEA) show, the power consumption of a household in standby mode in developed countries represents about 3-11% of its total power consumption. As the number of digital smart household appliances increases dramatically, the power consumption in standby mode will increase quickly if no improvement measures are taken.

For this, environmental regulations have been formulated one after another in the major market of the world to specify more strict and concrete green product statements. Regulations of power consumption are continuously established for household appliances and audio/video products to meet the requirements of Kyoto Protocol and achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gases. In this way, manufacturers may introduce the concept of energy efficiency conversion and low stand-by power to more products at the design stage to mitigate the greenhouse effect and reduce the wastes of energy and cost.

 

Unlike the regulations focusing on safety and restrictions, more and more countries, such as Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), New Zealand and Australia (E3), Mexico (CONUEE, Etiqueta de eficiencia energetica), Europe (ErP), USA (DOC), China (CECP), and Korea (K-MEPS), require that relevant products shall be attached with a power consumption label. This then becomes a standard for export of products to other countries.  No products without such label are allowed to sell in other countries.  The purpose of these measures are to ensure that consumers can understand the power consumption and energy saving level of the products they buy.  Some countries establish stricter regulations. For example, NRCan requests the manufacturers who allege compliance of their products with energy regulations must obtain a third-party certificate as a proof.

 

Products must be subject to different regulatory requirements depending on the factors of the environment where they are used.
