In the context of global energy shortage, all nations are committed to introduce the relevant energy-saving legislations/standards to regulate the efficiency performance of imported products. For consumers, choosing green energy-saving products is becoming an emerging trend. To help manufacturers successfully offset the effects of 'efficiency' barriers and seize the market, TÜV SÜD, the world's leading third-party certification service organization, promotes the specific identification of energy certification- TÜV SÜD Energy Mark.
What is TÜV SÜD Energy Mark?
TÜV SÜD Energy Mark, a voluntary certification mark developed by TÜV SÜD Group, is typically used for the energy efficiency performance of electrical and electronic products. All the products carrying TÜV SÜD Energy Mark shall pass the rigorous third-party test and meet the energy efficiency requirements of target markets. Besides, quality assurance measures, such as annual factory inspection and verification test per year will be applied to the Energy Mark. In order to deliver more third party information to consumers, a small label to identify the major parameters of energy efficiency of the products is also attached next to the Energy Mark.
Which products/standards does the TÜV SÜD Energy Mark apply to?
TÜV SÜD Energy Mark is applicable to all electrical & electronic products for which power consumption and energy efficiency are defined in specific national and/or international standards, including household appliances, lighting products, IT/AV products, and so on. Latest valid national and/or international recognized standards shall be used as test methods.
What's the benefit of TÜV SÜD Energy Mark?
TÜV SÜD Energy Mark represents that the product and its manufacturing process can guarantee a good energy efficiency performance through rigorous assessment conducted by TÜV SÜD. It also demonstrates a retailer's or manufacturer's compliance to energy efficiency requirements of target markets. By printing TÜV SÜD Energy Mark on the products, packages and promotional materials, enterprises can advocate the 'low carbon' trend more easily and thus take up more market shares. Consumers can also rely on the credible data from TÜV SÜD Energy Mark to select efficient products from the market.
