The China National Institute of Standardization (CNIS) held the Academic Meeting on 20th Anniversary of China Energy Label in Beijing on June 27. The event took place during the 35th National Energy Conservation Publicity Week, which ran from June 23 to 29.
Approximately 200 representatives from relevant government departments, research institutions, industry organizations, and enterprises attended the meeting. Officers from the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, and the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), as well as CNIS President Luo Fangping attended and addressed the meeting.
Representatives from research institutions and enterprises discussed the current status of energy conservation and policy development. They reviewed the implementation of the energy labeling system, and shared the latest advancements in energy-saving technologies, standards and product labeling domestically and internationally.
At the meeting, CNIS released the Report on 20 Years of China Energy Labeling Program. According to the report, the energy labeling system has made significant achievements in supporting policies, leading technological upgrades, improving energy efficiency, facilitating green consumption, and contributing to energy conservation and carbon reduction. The system now covers 45 product categories, with over 26,000 registered enterprises, and more than 4 million registered product models. It has cumulatively saved more than 4.28 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity. The China Energy Label is now one of the world’s most widely implemented energy labeling systems, boasting the largest market scale and most notable energy-saving effect.
A new version of the China Energy Label online platform was also launched at the event. Additionally, CNIS and leading enterprises jointly launched an initiative to make a commitment to better implementing the system. CNIS will continue to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the labeling system, supporting China’s goals of achieving carbon peak and neutrality, and advancing the green transformation of the economy and society.
