Do you really understand this? Energy Appliance Label Interpretation

November 04, 2021

[PConline Talk] Energy conservation and environmental protection have been the focus of the past few years. With the gradual improvement of people’s awareness of energy conservation, more and more people are paying more attention to their energy-saving capabilities when they purchase home appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and televisions. Presumably we all know that many household appliances carry energy efficiency labels, but can you really understand the specific meaning of this energy efficiency label? Or just to know that it is blind to buy the products with the highest level of energy efficiency, and to spend the most money in pursuit of the highest power-saving ability. Living a life always pays attention to worth (of course, local tycoons are pleased), really read the meaning of energy efficiency logo, according to their own use to match more suitable products, perhaps this is the wise choice.

What is the Chinese energy efficiency label?

Energy efficiency labeling, also known as energy efficiency labeling, is an information label that represents a product's energy efficiency rating and other performance indicators. Its purpose is to provide users and consumers with the necessary information for purchasing decisions to guide and help consumers select energy-efficient energy-saving products.


China Energy Efficiency Label

China’s earliest energy efficiency labeling system was implemented from March 1, 2005. At that time, only the air conditioners and refrigerators were involved. In the subsequent system update, TV, water heaters, washing machines, induction cookers and other products are gradually added. And as technology continues to increase, energy efficiency rating standards continue to rise. The energy efficiency signs that we can see in the market are generally divided into two types, one is the third-level energy efficiency, and the other is the five-level energy efficiency. Then, when we buy household appliances, whether the higher the energy efficiency level (the smaller the number) is, the lower the power consumption is, the more appropriate it is. I believe many consumers will have this idea.

Energy efficiency labeling information

To be sure, the higher the energy efficiency level (the smaller the number), the lower the power consumption of the product. However, if you combine home use habits, it may not be the best deal to purchase the product with the lowest power consumption. This starts with the specific meaning of the energy efficiency label.


Flat panel TV energy efficiency rating

Flat panel TV energy efficiency rating is divided into 3 levels, of which the highest level of energy efficiency. All levels of flat-panel television energy efficiency index should be revised in accordance with the relevant provisions of GB/T 8170, retain two significant figures, repair value should not be less than the specified value. For refrigerators, washing machines and other products generally have five energy efficiency rating.


LCD TV energy efficiency logo

LCD TV energy efficiency indicators above indicate the manufacturer's name and product model, the middle of the energy efficiency rating, while the bottom is marked with the LCD TV energy efficiency index EEI and passive standby power, which is the general LCD TV energy efficiency indicators include the parameter information.

Another meaning of energy efficiency rating

In fact, in addition to distinguishing the difference in power consumption, the energy efficiency level has another meaning. For the five-level energy efficiency standard, the Chinese-developed Tier 1 standard is the goal of general corporate efforts, Tier 2 represents energy-efficient products, Tier 3 and Tier 4 represent the national average, and Tier 5 products are products that will be phased out in the future. The lowest threshold. In other words, the energy efficiency products at Grades 3 and 4 are general-level products that are already basically suitable for ordinary households. If you are pursuing better energy-saving capabilities, Level 2 energy efficiency products are preferred. Then for the third-level energy efficiency standards, the second-level energy efficiency is energy-saving products.


China Energy Efficiency Label

Why not choose an energy efficiency product? Everyone needs to combine their own needs, usage habits, economic budgets and other conditions when buying home appliances. Take the air conditioning that previously had five energy efficiency signs (new standard air conditioning is generally a three-level energy efficiency), the small 1 horse and 1 air conditioner work continuously for 10 hours to save 1.5 kWh, do not need to use such a long time every day The family does not need to deliberately choose the product with the highest energy efficiency ratio. At present, the price levels of air conditioners in the 1st and 5th class of energy efficiency on the market may differ by more than a thousand yuan. Therefore, for homes with very short usage times, some 4-5-level air conditioners with energy efficiency can also be considered. Some experts also pointed out that the second-level energy efficiency ratio is actually a "critical point." According to calculations, the air-conditioning effect of an average household using a Class 2 energy efficiency ratio is usually the best.

Buy household appliances, pay attention to identify energy efficiency labels

With the development of science and technology, China's energy-saving standards for home appliances have also been increased step by step, so many products are faced with the situation. However, there are also many black-hearted manufacturers who continue to sell these unqualified products privately, resulting in the coexistence of old and new standards, and consumers cannot really buy more energy-efficient products.


China Energy Efficiency Label

From October 1, 2013, new energy efficiency standards such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners were formally implemented to replace the 2004 energy efficiency standards. The difference between these two standards, in short, is that the new version is higher than the old one. In the purchase of home appliances, pay attention to the latest national standards of Chinese energy efficiency label products, otherwise it is very likely to be black heart merchant pit to buy back illegal products.

Summary: When purchasing household electrical appliances, be sure to recognize two points: (1) Try not to blindly and irrationally purchase first-class energy efficiency products; (2) Identify Chinese energy efficiency labels and pay attention to distinguish between old and new standard products. In general, Grade 2 and Grade 3 products are more suitable for Grade 5 energy efficiency, and Grade 2 Energy Efficiency Grade 3 is more appropriate. The higher the price of energy-saving products, the different needs, habits, and family environment generally determine which product is most suitable. This is the family that will live. As the saying goes, the best is not necessarily the best for you! Finally, I hope everyone can use the most appropriate pay to buy the most comfortable experience!
