Electric light sources that do not meet the new label requirements will not be allowed. Sold in the United States.
According to the requirements of the regulations, the new label will replace the original single mode of distinguishing various types of electric light sources by power. It requires increasing luminous flux, annual energy consumption cost, average life, color temperature, mercury content, energy source efficiency and toxic and harmful substances. Relevant information. The content of the new label will enable consumers to clearly identify the energy saving and environmental protection levels of different electric light sources. While encouraging the use of energy-efficient products such as self-ballasted fluorescent lamps and LED lamps, the low-efficiency electric light source products such as incandescent bulbs will eventually be withdrawn. American market.
In this regard, the inspection and quarantine department reminds relevant export enterprises:
First, we must know the foreign notifications and technical trade barriers related to our products in a timely manner through various channels. For example, we can directly understand the latest requirements through the official publications of Federal Register of the United States and the official lic ial of the United States, or through the domestic WTO/ The TBT organization's website obtains relevant Chinese materials;
Second, we must pay attention to the energy efficiency design of products, improve the product structure and production process through the research, development and utilization of energy-saving technologies, and improve the energy efficiency level of our products. At the same time, the energy efficiency level and related information of products should be correctly in accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations. The format is reflected on the product label;
Third, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation with energy-testing qualification laboratories, regularly standardize and sample products, analyze the key components of the products and problems in the production process, and continuously improve the energy efficiency indicators of the products.
