——On the Eup Directive Certification Dialogue Intertek Intertek Tianxiang Group Asia Pacific Energy Efficiency Business Development Director Wang Wei
On July 6, 2005, the European Parliament and the European Commission officially announced the Framework Directive 2005/32/EC (hereinafter referred to as the EuP Directive) on the Ecodesign Requirements for Energy Products, which takes into account the resources and energy of the product throughout its life cycle. Consumption and environmental impact.
The Directive also addresses EU Directive 92/42/EEC on new gas or liquid fuel hot water boiler energy efficiency requirements and Directive 96/57/EC on energy efficiency requirements for domestic refrigerators, freezers and their assemblies and The Directive 2000/55/EC on Fluorescent Lamp Ballast Energy Requirements has been revised and requires EU member states to complete the domestic legislation and administrative requirements required by the directive by August 11, 2007 (but subject to actual conditions, all The conversion work of member states may be postponed until 2009.)
According to Wang Wei, Director of Energy Efficiency Business Development of Intertek Asia Pacific, this year, the European Union will officially introduce the "External Power Supply and Battery Charger Directive" and other external power supplies, set-top boxes, standby and shutdown power consumption, street lighting. Implementation rules for EuP directives for five products, including equipment and office lighting. At the same time, the European Commission also said that the product implementation rules covered by other EuP directives will be introduced early next year - in this case, how should Chinese appliance companies prepare?
Certification requirements bundled with CE
"Electrical appliances": In recent years, the EU has issued a number of environmental protection directives, such as the WEEE and RoHS directives. These two directives have been implemented, and Chinese companies have made a lot of preparations for this. Excuse me, is the EuP Directive similar to these two instructions in terms of implementation and certification?
Wang Wei: Although they are all environmental protection directives, the EuP directive covers a wider range of topics. It focuses on the environmental impact of products in design, production, transportation, use, recycling, etc., or products from "cradle to grave" "The ecological performance." There are also major differences in certification. WEEE and RoHS directive certification is a single certification, and the certification of the product EuP directive is a mandatory certification involving multiple environmental factors entering the EU market. An important part of the compulsory certification of the European market. If the company's products want to mark the CE, they must comply with the EuP directive. As an example, the mandatory CE certification for a common household appliance such as a household refrigerator in the future will include three aspects: electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and eco-design performance.
"Electric Appliances": What kind of products need to comply with the EuP Directive? Do you include all home appliances?
Wang Wei: The EuP Directive is for energy-using products, but does not include transportation. At the same time, the products involved in the Directive need to meet the following three conditions: the annual sales volume of similar products in the European market is not less than 200,000 units; the product has a significant impact on the European environment; the potential for improving the eco-design performance of the product is large and will not Excessively increase costs. According to this definition, there is no doubt that most home appliances meet the conditions of energy-using products in the EuP Directive.
"Electric Appliances": But the implementation rules of these five categories of products that will come into effect this year do not seem to involve major electrical products?
Wang Wei: The five types of products and functions that first introduced the implementation rules are: external power supply, set-top box, standby and shutdown power consumption, street lighting equipment, office lighting equipment, refrigerators, water heaters and other household appliances are in the process of being formulated. It is planned to be introduced early next year. It is estimated that the energy consumption requirements of refrigerators and other products will adopt the energy consumption requirements of the current EU energy efficiency standards. As far as we know, some refrigerator companies are already actively preparing.
Intertek offers comprehensive EuP test evaluation services
"Electric Appliances": Not only do companies need to prepare for the EuP Directive, but as a certification body, Intertek needs to understand the specific requirements of the EuP Directive in order to serve the enterprise. What has Intertek done in this regard?
Wang Wei: China is the largest production base for energy products exported to Europe. We, Intertek professionals in China and European colleagues, work together to actively prepare for the implementation of the EuP Directive. At present, we have begun to help some enterprises including lamps and refrigerators to do evaluation certification.
"Electric Appliances": What services can Intertek do for the company in terms of EuP certification?
Wang Wei: At present, Intertek can provide four services for enterprises in the EuP Directive: First, training services can help companies understand EuP, understand life cycle assessment, and understand the preparations for enterprises that comply with EuP directives. The second is the assessment service, which provides a comprehensive ecological assessment based on the products provided by the company, including evaluation of the agreement, assessment of product energy efficiency, materials, noise, recycling, etc. At the same time, we can also evaluate the production of the company. Third, according to the results of the assessment, provide testing, reporting, consulting and other services for enterprises. Fourth, if the product passes the assessment, we can issue a declaration of conformity and a certificate of accreditation to the company.
