On August 23, 2024, GB44499-2024 "Specification for Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances" (hereinafter referred to as the "Standard for Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection of Household Appliances") was released and will be officially implemented on September 1, 2029. The energy-saving and environmental protection standards for household appliances were born under the dual factors of simplifying mandatory standards by the National Standards Committee and achieving the "dual carbon" goal. They propose energy-saving and environmental protection technical requirements for each stage of the product life cycle in the form of standards, aiming to minimize resource and energy consumption in the life cycle of household appliances.
Our company specializes in the production of copper filter drier, Access Valve, Copper fittings, Service valves, Branch pipes, brass union, brass nuts, Aluminum fittings manufacture. We will produce products that better meet various standards to serve industry needs. We welcome you to discuss cooperation.
At present, there is no universal standard in China that specifies energy-saving and environmental protection requirements for household appliances. In order to ensure the effective conservation of resources and energy in the home appliance industry, and to establish and continuously improve the energy conservation and environmental protection standard system in the home appliance industry, it is necessary to formulate basic and mandatory standards for energy conservation and environmental protection of home appliances. Therefore, the release of energy-saving and environmental protection standards for household appliances has attracted high attention.
So, what content should enterprises focus on in the energy-saving and environmental protection standards for household appliances?
Enterprises should focus on three aspects. One is energy efficiency requirements. The standard specifies the energy efficiency levels and testing methods for various electrical products, requiring manufacturers to ensure that the products meet the minimum energy efficiency standards specified. The second is environmentally friendly materials and design. Standards restrict or prohibit the use of certain harmful substances, promote green design concepts, and reduce environmental impacts throughout the product lifecycle. The appendix provides a method for calculating the renewable utilization rate of products, guiding product design to fully consider the ease of material recycling, disassembly, and regeneration. The third is identification and information disclosure. The standard clearly specifies the requirements for identification or usage instructions during the installation process and recycling stage.
The requirements for restricted substances in the energy-saving and environmental protection standards for household appliances have also attracted the attention of enterprises. Angel's relevant person in charge believes that companies need to focus on the requirements of standards for hazardous substances and the updates of usage instructions.
In addition, the scope of application, coverage stages, effectiveness of judgment criteria, specific requirements for life cycle stages, indicators and evaluation methods for recycling rate requirements are also topics of significant discussion during the standard setting process.
