The difference between China's energy efficiency label and China's energy conservation label

The difference between China's energy efficiency label and China's energy conservation label:



China's energy efficiency label is mandatory, while China's energy conservation label is voluntary.


The China energy efficiency label, also known as the energy efficiency rating label, is an information label affixed to energy-consuming products or their smallest packaging, indicating the product's energy efficiency level and other performance indicators. Its purpose is to provide necessary information for users and consumers' purchasing decisions, guiding and helping consumers choose high-efficiency, energy-saving products.


More than 100 countries worldwide have implemented energy efficiency labeling systems. The label is a color-coded label with a blue and white background, divided into five levels: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Level 1 indicates that the product reaches international advanced levels and is the most energy-efficient (lowest energy consumption); Level 2 indicates relatively energy-efficient; Level 3 indicates that the product's energy efficiency is at the average level of the Chinese market; Level 4 indicates that the product's energy efficiency is below the market average; Level 5 is a market access indicator, and products below this level are not allowed to be produced or sold. The energy efficiency label is a colored label with an adhesive back and the words "CHINA ENERGY LABEL" on the top. It is usually affixed to the front panel of the product.


Certification Process


1. Sample Testing: Samples need to be sent to a qualified laboratory for testing and a contractual report (5-7 business days).


2. Registration: An account needs to be registered first. A qualified energy efficiency report needs to be submitted to the system, and relevant information needs to be filled in for registration. (Account registration: 5 business days + registration: 1 business day)

Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued

图片
 Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued my country's first mandatory national standard, the "Technical Specification for Safety of Power Banks," was published on March 31, 2026, and will officially take effect on April 1, 2027. This standard aims to end long-standing problems in the power bank industry, such as falsely advertised capacity, substandard battery cells, and frequent safety incidents. The new regulation introduces several stringent technical requirements, mandating that battery cells pass a needle penetration test (without catching fire or exploding), and strengthening thermal abuse testing; it also adds tests for whole-device drop and crushing, requires products to be labeled with a safe service life, and improves various protection mechanisms.

EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2 EU Electronics Standards

图片
To reduce e-waste, the EU is committed to promoting a unified charging technology and interface that supports a variety of electronic products. On November 23, 2022, the EU issued Directive EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2, requiring electronic product manufacturers to use USB-C charging interface technology in their products. It also requires small and medium-sized portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and cameras, as well as laptops, to comply with the USB-C charging interface requirement by 2024 and 2026, respectively. The IEC 62680 testing equipment GRL-USB-PD-C2-EPR, formerly the USB-IF Association's USB PD certification testing instrument, performs PD protocol certification testing. IEC 62680-1-2 and IEC 62680-1-3 incorporate the USB-IF USB PD and Type-C specifications and are currently used for protocol testing and certification corresponding to IEC 62680. IEC 62680-1-2 primarily defines the USB PD power supply specification; IEC 62680-1-3 is a specification ...

What is FDA Certification & What is FDA Registration?

 What is FDA Certification & What is FDA Registration? I. What is the FDA? The FDA, authorized by the U.S. Congress (the federal government), is the highest law enforcement agency specializing in food and drug regulation. Its full name is the Food and Drug Administration. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as FDA certification; the FDA itself has stated this. Generally, when people talk about FDA certification, they are referring to the following three types: FDA registration, FDA testing, and FDA approval. ① FDA Registration: Companies exporting food, drugs, and medical devices to the United States must register with the FDA, listing their company and products. Otherwise, customs clearance will be denied; this is a mandatory requirement. ② FDA Testing: FDA testing primarily refers to safety testing of food contact materials, testing of product contact packaging, biocompatibility testing of medical products, and clinical safety testing. ③ FDA Approval: This usually appli...
