Certification Introduction:

On August 4, 2006, Hong Kong formulated a Mandatory Energy Efficiency Labeling Scheme. Since 1995, Hong Kong has implemented a voluntary Energy Efficiency Labeling Scheme for household appliances and office equipment and motor vehicles. Hong Kong will introduce a mandatory energy efficiency Labeling scheme for sub-room air conditioners, refrigeration appliances and compact fluorescent lamps. Local manufacturers or importers must register the model of their products with the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, and affix Energy Efficiency Labels on the registered products in the prescribed form before placing them on the Hong Kong market. In 2011, Hong Kong Energy Label launched the "Energy Efficiency Labeling Scheme" for LED lighting products: refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, energy-saving lamps, LED lamps, electric clothes dryers, storage-type electric water heaters and rice cookers.
