6 Overall Framework China Energy Label Effective time 1 st March 2005 Authorities NDRC AQSIQ CNCA Authorized implementing CNIS agency Property Mandatory Label type Graded label, totally 3 grades or 5 grades, Grade 1 is the best Technical reference National energy efficiency standards Implementation mode Manufacturers self-declare + Label registration + Market surveillance Usage manufacturers and importers are responsible for printing and attaching it Testing National energy efficiency standards Testing agency Either in manufacturers labs or the third-party ones, but need to go through inspection and be approved by CNIS Market surveillance AQSIQ, NDRC and local quality supervision and inspection bureaus CEL give clear information to consumers, enabling them to take into account the energy performance of products in their purchase decision. Target products 13 catalogues have been announced, covering 35 end-use products

12 Why to Introduce QR Code into CEL 1 Currently, to expand consumption is an important engine for driving the economic growth from the sight of Central Government. The State Council has proposed to expand and upgrade consumption, increase the supply of high-quality products and services, seize the opportunities of high-end consumption and lead the industrial upgrade by consumption upgrade. The end-use products such as household appliances belong to the most traditional consumption area, and the previous energy label can only provide single and limited information that is difficult to support the superior and green consumption. 2 Supervision and enforcement are important approaches to ensure the quality of energy consuming products. However, the registered information of previous energy labels cannot be easily accessed and queried, and the enforcement personnel must take along laptops and Internet card, which increases the difficulty and cost for law enforcement, and reduces their motivation and efficiency. 3 China has made positive progresses in Internet technology, industrial applications, cross-border integration, and other information technologies. The smartphones are popular among the people rapidly, and QR code information technology is widely and successfully applied in enterprise business license, train tickets, e- certificates, etc. The State Council has released the guidelines for proactively promoting the Internet + action. 4 The education level of consumers are improved, and they have changed from passive acceptance to active acquirement.

13 What can be brought by CEL with QR Code 1 QR information code can bear massive product and service information, improve the transparency, openness and availability of product quality information, improve the consumption experience, enrich the consumption service contents, and better guide green and superior consumption. 2 3 makes it possible to obtain the comprehensive product information in real time with smartphone only, which significantly improves the convenience and timeliness of supervision, enriches the type of law enforcement, and provides important guarantee for combating false labels and improving product quality. Integrate the full-chain superior resources for choose, use, repair and replace of manufacturers and the industry, serve for the enterprise operation, enhance the interaction between manufacturers and consumers, help manufacturers to promote excellent energy-saving products and consumers to obtain valueadded services other than energy efficiency, and promote the healthy development of the industry.

pilot promotion activities for QR code CEL together with 35 manufacturers since 2015, 10 products were covered, and the experiences were summarized based hereon.

14 How to Put it into Practice NDRC and AQSIQ Order No.35 Regulation on China Energy Label was revised and formally put into implementation on October 1st, 2016 Pilot Promotion CEL implementing organization CNIS has launched the voluntary pilot promotion activities for QR code CEL together with 35 manufacturers since 2015, 10 products were covered, and the experiences were summarized based hereon. Included in law Energy label shall include the following basic information: (1) Name or short name of the manufacturer; (2) Product specification and model; (3) Energy efficiency grade; (4) Energy efficiency indexes; (5) Number of mandatory national standards regarding energy efficiency followed; (6) Energy efficiency information code.
