The EU Energy Efficiency Directive, also known as the EU, is mainly to enable the entire EU to be used more effectively; to reduce unnecessary energy waste, which is what it means. For many electrical appliances and some industrial production equipment that ordinary people use in daily life, they have set a lot of standards for energy efficiency.
Speaking of the basic content module disassembly of this instruction, there are several different aspects:
Product energy efficiency standards, this standard, will specify specific energy efficiency levels for different types of products, such as refrigerators, washing machines, large appliances, lamps, motors, etc. – generally, they are divided into levels from A+++ to D. The higher the level, the more energy-saving the product!
In terms of energy use, that is, those manufacturers must clearly mark the energy efficiency information of the product so that consumers can see it at a glance when buying things, knowing that the product costs no electricity… In this way, they can help consumers make wiser choices.
There is also about energy (actually, it means auditing). For some large enterprises and institutions, it requires regular energy audits to see if there is any improvement in energy use and whether it can save energy more energy.
Let’s talk about the key implementation steps of this instruction:
1. First of all, the EU will determine which products and fields are covered. This scope is not casual, but has been determined after many experts' research and discussion! It involves many aspects such as industrial, construction, and consumer products we use everyday.
2. Then we will formulate specific energy efficiency standards, which will be updated and replaced according to technological development – not static! Generally, it may be revised every few years so that the standards can always keep up with the pace of technological progress.
3. Then each EU member state must convert these EU-level directives into their own national laws, which is a very important step~ This is to ensure that each country can be implemented and the member states must establish a special supervision and (that is, the meaning of implementation and implementation) mechanism.
4. Finally, it is about manufacturers, importers, etc. You must ensure that your products meet these latest energy efficiency standards before they can be sold in the EU market; if they do not meet the standards, the products cannot enter the EU market, so you must pay attention to this! Provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products!
Let’s answer some of the questions that you often ask (that’s the question):
Q: If the product does not meet the EU requirements, what are the negative consequences?
Answer: (The consequences) can be serious! First of all, products must not be sold or imported in the EU market; and manufacturers and importers may also face fines, and the amount of fines is still large. The specific regulations of each country may be different, but in short, it is definitely not a small amount! In addition, the (reputation) of the product will also be greatly damaged. Who will dare to buy a problematic product?
Compare the performance of products that meet the standards and do not meet the standards in the market:
Products that meet the standards are because they have good energy saving effects. Now consumers are paying more and more attention to environmental protection and energy saving, so this product is often more popular with consumers and has better sales; and they may also enjoy some government subsidies or policy benefits, and the cost-effectiveness will increase immediately!
EU Energy Efficiency Directive, which does not meet the standards, let alone cannot enter the EU market. Even if you sneak in, once you are found, you will be forced to be removed from the shelves and you will have to pay a fine, which will be a huge loss.
Finally, I personally think that EU is a particularly good thing for promoting global energy conservation and environmental protection! Although it may be necessary for companies to invest some costs to improve products and meet the requirements of the instructions at the beginning, in the long run, it is worthwhile to save money and protect the environment. Moreover, this can also promote enterprises to continuously carry out technological innovation and produce more energy-saving and efficient products, which is beneficial to the development of the entire society.
