Lighting Energy Certification Promotes Industrial Technology Progress

According to statistics, China's lighting power consumption accounts for about 12% of the total electricity consumption in the society. Experts estimate that using high-efficiency lighting products instead of traditional low-efficiency lighting products can save 60% to 80%. If 10 watt energy-saving lamps replace incandescent lamps of 60 watts of similar brightness, 1.2 billion of them will be promoted nationwide. Energy-saving lamps work 4 hours a day, the annual savings of electricity is equivalent to the annual power generation capacity of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, close to the total electricity consumption of a central province. In modernization, lighting and energy saving are of great significance.

The implementation of lighting energy-saving measures, the country's minimum investment, the most effective results. From July 18, 2006, China has included energy-saving certification products in the government procurement catalog. In order to further expand the scope of government procurement of energy-saving products and increase government procurement efforts for energy-saving products, according to the "Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Establishing a System of Compulsory Purchase of Energy-saving Products by the Government" and the "Opinions on the Implementation of Government Procurement of Energy-saving Products," the Ministry of Finance and the State In July 2010, the National Development and Reform Commission again adjusted and announced the eighth issue of the “Government Procurement List for Energy-saving Products” to identify air conditioners and lighting products (including double-ended fluorescent lamps, self-ballasted fluorescent lamps, single-end fluorescent lamps, and tubular fluorescent ballasts). Nine types of products, such as TVs, electric water heaters, computers, printers, monitors, toilets, and taps, are government-mandated energy-saving products.

Lighting products that have been certified for energy conservation include self-ballasted fluorescent lamps for general lighting, double-ended fluorescent lamps for general lighting, single-end fluorescent lamps, high-pressure sodium lamps, metal halide lamps, ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps, and towns for high-pressure sodium lamps. Ballasts, Ballasts for Metal Halide Lamps and Road Lighting Systems. Through two years of technical research and development, the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) will soon carry out energy-saving certifications for semiconductor (LED) lighting products, including LE D road/tunnel lighting products, LE D downlights and reflective self-ballasted LEDs. Light three products.

CQC is the national certification authority for energy-saving products and has established a certification and labeling system for high-efficiency lighting appliances. The products in the government procurement catalog of energy-saving products are all required to be certified by the “Quality” mark of CQC before they can be adopted by government procurement.

According to the principle of voluntariness, companies can apply for energy-saving certification. If an application product meets the requirements of product energy efficiency standards (or technical specifications) and energy-saving product certification implementation rules, and is verified by CQC, it can obtain China's energy-saving product certification issued by CQC. certificate. After signing the "Certificate of Certification and Marking Agreement" with CQC, the company may use the certification certificate and "section" mark on the certified product advertisements and promotional materials.
