Ukraine Energy efficiency labeling
Energy efficiency labeling
Energy efficiency and energy efficiency are two words, which, because of a rise in price of energy resources in the last year in Ukraine, began to sound more often. Regardless of the sphere of use, household or industrial, for the sake of economy, everyone is now trying to purchase equipment with the lowest energy consumption. In order for the consumer to determine how efficient the device uses energy resources, it is necessary to conduct a procedure for evaluating the energy efficiency of the device and mark it with the appropriate sign.
Energy labeling has become an indispensable source of information when choosing equipment for customers who prefer energy saving appliances.
The labeling of energy efficiency classes shows the efficiency of energy use by appliances during their operation.
The energy efficiency class is labeled in 7 main classes, from A (lowest consumption) to G (the most energy-intensive), depending on the number of kW consumed by the equipment. After the product reaches the energy efficiency class A, additional classes A +, A ++, A +++
Such household appliances are subject to marking:
• refrigerators
• freezers
• air-conditioners
• monitors and printers
• Microwave ovens
• incandescent lamps, lighting equipment
• washing machines • dishwashers
• TVs
• heating appliances
• Boilers
• photocopiers
• Electric hobs and ovens
Industrial equipment (pumps, heat exchangers, electric motors, generators, etc.) and road transport are also marked.
Labeling may be necessary in the following cases:
1. Competitive advantage.
In the present situation with the increase in the cost of energy resources in the country, many consumers began to pay attention to the economic efficiency of household appliances. But with the choice of technology, between domestic and foreign, as a rule, the choice falls on foreign, tk. all foreign technology is labeled energy efficiency class, and domestic - no, which leads the buyer to the idea of low efficiency of domestic products.
2. Export of products to the EU.
EU countries are prohibited from importing products of energy efficiency classes F and G. And without assigning an energy efficiency class, one can not prove that the product has a class higher than F or G.
Certification of energy efficiency consists of the following stages:
• testing;
• analysis of the received data;
• decision on certification;
• factory control;
• issuance of a permit to use the energy efficiency certification mark;
• market monitoring.
The stages listed above are carried out by experts of the certification center, and the manufacturer only provides all the necessary information.
"Import of products of energy efficiency classes F and G is banned to EU countries"
Energy efficiency in the European Union
According to the Directives of the EU Commission on Transport and Energy 92/75 / CEE, 95/12 / CE, 94/2 / CE, 2003/66 / CE, 96/89 / CE, etc., most household appliances, cars, packages light bulbs key consumer characteristics of the product should be indicated on the label of energy efficiency (DIRECTIVE 2009/125 / EC).
According to the 2010/30 / EC DER-active, the class of energy efficiency can be labeled as household and industrial equipment. The labeled label, in addition to the energy efficiency class, also contains information on the technical characteristics of the product, depending on its type.
In Ukraine, the following standards apply to energy efficiency:
• The technical regulations of the kitchen lamps of the incentive power station, the stability of the electricity, the solidification regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated December 27, 2008, No. 1144.
• The technical regulations of the energy-efficient markuvania motivated the fridges, the freezers of those comlexes, the solidifications I designate to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on 07/08/2013 №702.
• The technical regulation of the energy-efficient marking of the pre-roll machines, solidification, is set by Kabinetu Ministr of Ukraine dated 07.08.2013 No. 702
