On October 17, 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) issued a notice on the enactment of the revised implementation rules for the energy label markings of two products: multi-connected air-condition (heat pump) units and electric fans (hereinafter referred to as “the Implementation Rules”). The revised implementation rules will come into effect on November 1, 2022.
The revised Implementation Rules on Energy Efficiency Labelling for Multi-connected Air-condition (heat pump) Units and Implementation Rules on Energy Efficiency Labelling for Electric Fan will be valid for 5 years. Relevant products that are newly produced/sold after the implementation date shall follow the rules. An interim period will be given to imported products that are imported or finish manufacturing before November 1, 2022: such product can conform to implementation requirements after November 1, 2024.
