Flat stick energy efficiency standard enters energy efficiency upgrade channel

On March 1st, the “Regulations for the Implementation of Energy Efficiency Labels for Flat TVs” was formally implemented. From this day onwards, flat-panel TVs must be marked with a national uniform blue-and-white color energy efficiency label in a prominent position to indicate the energy efficiency level of the TV. Flat panel TVs are the seventh batch of products that have been incorporated into the energy efficiency regulatory system. It is recalled that the product industries that previously implemented the energy efficiency labeling system have therefore moved towards a path of energy saving and efficient development. Will the color TV industry also change its development track accordingly?

There is no pressure in the labeling of enterprises. There will be no large-scale delisting in the color TV industry. The passive standby power for flat-panel TVs in the national mandatory standard GB24850-2010 "Limited value and energy efficiency rating for flat-panel TVs" that began on December 1 last year. Limited, but also divided the energy efficiency rating of flat-panel TVs. Among them, the highest level of energy efficiency is the most efficient product; the second level is the evaluation value of energy conservation, and is the minimum requirement for the certification of energy saving products; and the third level is the limit value, which is the minimum market access threshold. Products that fail to meet the requirements of the minimum energy efficiency index specified in the standard or exceed the maximum passive standby power requirements will not be able to enter the market.

After the implementation of the energy efficiency labeling system, flat-panel TVs will be labelled; products that fail to meet the energy efficiency threshold will not be labelled. However, this does not mean that the TV industry will experience a large-scale wave of delisting. With current energy efficiency thresholds, companies can easily cross over.

Previously, the National Quality Supervision and Inspection Center for Radio and TV Products has been tracking changes in flat panel TV energy efficiency products since 2008 and has conducted multiple rounds of tests. In early 2010, there were 5 LCD TVs achieving a level of energy efficiency and 1 plasma TV; 17 LCD TVs with a level 2 energy efficiency level and 5 plasma TVs; and 31 LCD TVs with a level 3 energy efficiency level. Taiwan and plasma TVs are 3; unqualified LCD TVs are 0 and plasma TVs are 0.

Xie Yudi, manager of the Technical Department of the National Radio and TV Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, told the China Electronics News reporter: “Since we are testing products that are sent and tested, this does not mean that there are no unqualified products on the market.” This means that companies The energy efficiency of the products submitted for inspection has reached the standard, but there may be cases where the products fail to meet the standards.

However, according to the “Regulations for the Implementation of Energy Efficiency Labels for Flat-panel Televisions”, flat-panel TV products covered by energy efficiency standards that are shipped or imported from March 1, 2011 must be labeled with energy efficiency labels. Products delivered or imported before March 1, 2011 may be delayed until March 1, 2012. In other words, there is a one-year buffer period for products that fail to meet the standards. It is difficult for companies to digest this part of the product. Therefore, at present, color TV companies can be said to be relatively relaxed in the face of energy efficiency regulation.

Shao Jiancheng, general manager of the multimedia research and development center of Hisense Electric Co., Ltd., told the China Electronics News reporter: “Hisense’s current products are in full compliance with standards.” Hu Hongxiang, Deputy Chief Engineer of the Development Department of Haier Group’s Information Products Division, gave a report to “China Electronics News” The answer is: "Haier currently does not have a product inventory that does not meet the standards. It has already been digested and digested, and the technology has improved technological improvements."

Promoting the industry to speed up energy-saving upgrades TV manufacturers have reduced the proportion of energy-efficiency products at level 3. From the perspective of the development of energy-efficiency labeling systems for products such as refrigerators and air-conditioners, both industries have rapidly embarked on energy-saving technology upgrades driven by policies. The roads, and industry companies have all experienced the test of the improvement of the energy efficiency threshold brought about by the revision of the energy efficiency labeling system. At present, in these two industries, energy-saving products occupy the mainstream position, and the competition among enterprises is also constantly escalating around energy-saving technologies.

With the increase in the size and function of flat-screen TVs, the energy consumption of large-size flat-panel TVs cannot be ignored. One of the goals of the implementation of flat energy efficiency standards and energy efficiency labeling system is to promote the industry to achieve energy-saving upgrades.

At present, there have already been cases where TV manufacturers have reduced the proportion of Grade 3 energy efficiency products, and they have actively developed and promoted more energy-saving products. For example, Panasonic announced that its full range of VIERA plasma TVs has passed the national level 1 flat-panel television energy efficiency test. At present, mainstream TV companies such as Skyworth, Konka, Samsung and Sharp have all accelerated the launch of energy-saving flat-panel TVs. In the color TV market, energy-saving winds have become popular.

In addition, channel providers are also pushing for sales of energy-saving flat-panel TVs. The reporter learned that Suning has launched the “One Thousand-store Electricity Subsidy Program” in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Chengdu, Tianjin, Shenyang, Chongqing, Wuhan, and other cities. Consumers can purchase flat-panel TVs and receive up to 10 years of energy-saving electricity rates. subsidy.

Reporters saw in the appliance store, many LED TVs rely on energy-saving advantages, much consumer attention. Leveraging on the implementation of the energy efficiency labeling system, LED sales are expected to accelerate growth. “In 2010, LED TVs experienced explosive growth. The annual average price fell by 56% year-on-year, and sales volume increased by 2621.6% year-on-year.” said Li Jixiang, deputy chairman of China Yikang, “expect LED backlight technology in LCD TVs in 2011. The product will continue to grow rapidly."

Enterprises need to treat labeling with integrity. The intensity of energy efficiency supervision will continue to increase. Enterprises need to treat the labeling system of energy efficiency in China labeling. The “mode of corporate self-declaration + record-keeping + social supervision” is the mode of implementation. This is actually testing companies. The degree of integrity.

The reporter learned that the Energy Efficiency Label Management Center of the China National Institute of Standardization regularly conducts special inspections of the energy efficiency label market, and has exposed companies that failed to implement the energy efficiency labeling system in accordance with regulations. In addition, the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China will also conduct random inspections of national products from time to time. The local supervision agencies will also supervise whether products are affixed with logos and logos in compliance with the regulations, and energy efficiency supervision will continue to increase.

In November last year, the national radio and television product quality inspection center conducted another test on some color TV sets. As a result, the average energy efficiency index of LCD TVs was 1.16. Among them, the number of products that cannot meet the requirements of the 0.6 lowest energy efficiency index is one, accounting for 1% of the total number of products, the products that belong to the third grade of the energy efficiency index account for 33.9% of the total number of products, and the products that belong to the energy efficiency index second grade account for the total With 35.8% of the product quantity, the proportion of LCD TVs that meet the requirements of energy-saving products has increased significantly. Of the total of 109 LCD TVs, 32 have reached the level of energy efficiency index. The average value of the energy efficiency index for plasma TVs tested was 1.20. There were no unqualified products, and the ratio of Grade 1 energy efficiency products reached 66.7%.

The relevant person in charge of the national radio and television product quality inspection center stated: "We hope that television production companies can attach great importance to it. Once the sales of the products are confirmed, they will not be able to meet the standards. The production companies will be severely dealt with by the relevant state departments."
