Refrigerator new national standard will be implemented to buy a refrigerator you want to see the energy efficiency logo

[PConline News] Consumers will definitely pay attention to the energy efficiency label of household appliances when they buy large appliances. In particular, for household appliances such as air-conditioner refrigerators that consume a lot of power, energy efficiency labeling is an important reference standard, and in October 1 After the day, if you want to buy a Refrigerator, you need to pay attention to the energy efficiency label of the refrigerator, because the newly revised “Limits and energy efficiency ratings for household refrigerators” will be formally implemented on October 1, 2016, 2008. The standard of the edition will become history, and there will be many changes in the energy efficiency label of the refrigerator.

The new standard is more realistic

The most significant change in the newly revised “Limitations and energy efficiency ratings for household refrigerators” focuses on using energy efficiency labels to represent the actual energy consumption of refrigerators. The new standard increases the standard power consumption and load power consumption of refrigerators. The overall power consumption is defined as the total amount of electricity consumed in a 24-hour period when the refrigerator is used by a simulated user (including the increase in the power consumption of the refrigerator). This indicator will also be applied to refrigeration and refrigeration. The performance of the room's comprehensive energy efficiency index plays an important role.

Requirements for more stringent, energy-efficient products will be reduced

Under the new standard, the energy efficiency index of refrigerators will be increased a lot, that is to say, higher energy efficiency levels will be more energy-efficient than the same level as the old ones. According to relevant sources, under the new standard, the energy consumption of energy-efficient Class 1 products is about 40% lower than that of the original energy efficiency Class 1 products. This increase in demand will make the proportion of refrigerators with an energy efficiency rating of Class 1 on the market as a whole. The original 85% dropped to about 5%, and almost 100% of the refrigerators can reach energy efficiency grade 2 or above, and the proportion of refrigerators with the second-level energy efficiency will be sharply reduced to 10%-20. %.

The category is more refined

The new standard adds wine storage cabinets, embedded refrigerators, and the classification of refrigerator products is more refined. Vertical and horizontal products will be separated.

What does the new standard mean?

1. For consumers, the reference value of energy efficiency labeling will be enhanced and closer to life, but the energy efficiency level 1 or 2 products will be reduced. Under the new standard, products with energy efficiency level 1 or 2 will be achieved. Need to give better energy efficiency performance, which may also make this part of the product price increase.

2. For manufacturers, the new standard is a new challenge to the product. In the face of more stringent standards, manufacturers must come up with better products so that they can achieve better energy efficiency performance. Natural energy efficiency performance can also be achieved. Promote product sales.

3, for the entire refrigerator industry, it may be a shuffle, the new standard will promote the application and development of energy-saving technologies, it is also likely to eliminate a part of low-end products.

Comments: After the implementation of the new standard, we really need to look for new energy efficiency labels when we go to buy a refrigerator, and the reference value of the new energy efficiency label will be greatly improved than before, and it is also relatively It's easy to tell if the product is good or bad.
