Shenzhen's thousands of enterprises' electromechanical products face "energy saving and environmental protection test"
An EU energy conservation and environmental protection directive called EUP will be upgraded to the law of its member states in mid-August, and this hugely-affected “energy-saving and environmental protection big stick†will once again be sent to China's mechanical and electrical products. The person in charge of the Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said in an interview yesterday that about 1,000 export enterprises in Shenzhen will face the “energy conservation and environmental protection test†and recommend that enterprises take active measures to deal with them as soon as possible. Environmental protection directives improve access threshold 专家 Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau experts pointed out that the EUP Directive is an energy-using product eco-design framework directive issued by the European Union on July 6, 2005. On August 11 this year, the directive will be converted into EU member states. Law.
The Directive covers all electricity products and requires environmental protection at all stages of product design, production, maintenance, final elimination, recycling and disposal. Manufacturers have to do a lot of tedious work, such as attaching the CE mark to the product; conducting a conformity assessment; establishing an ecological file; ensuring compliance assessment; the documents related to the assessment need to be retained for 10 years; the declaration of conformity must be retained for 10 years, etc. .
According to the instructions, the specific implementation rules of related products will be launched from 2007 to 2010. The latest information obtained indicates that the order is first implemented from the following products: boilers and hybrid boilers, water heaters, computers, copiers, fax machines, scanners, televisions, battery holders, office lighting, air conditioners, fans, refrigerators, etc. .
Experts pointed out that the directive is the third more stringent environmental protection directive issued by the European Union after the ROHS and WEEE directives, and the threshold is higher. Products that do not comply with the EUP directive will not be able to enter the EU market, which makes China's mechanical and electrical products exported to the EU face an unprecedented test.
Corporate costs will increase dramatically
Experts said that after the EU EU Directive came into effect, it will help to raise corporate awareness of green environmental protection and promote the adjustment of corporate product structure. However, from the current point of view, the negative impact of the directive on Chinese companies is very obvious, directly damaging the export cost advantage of enterprises. According to preliminary research, the implementation of the EUP directive will increase the cost of the three aspects of the enterprise, namely the cost of new design, the cost of considering the life cycle, and the cost of product conformity assessment.
“More critically, the directive has made Chinese companies more passive in international competition.†The head of the Electrical and Mechanical Department of the Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau pointed out that compared with the WEEE and ROHS directives, the EUP directive involves design and manufacturing. The use, maintenance, recycling and post-processing of an entire industry chain requires designers to consider not only functionality, performance, materials, structure, appearance, versatility, safety, packaging, cost, standards, certification when designing new products. And other conventional factors, but also consider the impact of the entire product life cycle on energy, the environment, and natural resources.
Since the EUP directive requires product design to comply with relevant EU energy conservation standards, this is a completely unfamiliar issue for most Chinese local brand product designers, which is equivalent to a design revolution, and its difficulty can be imagined. The EU has fully prepared for the implementation of the EUP Directive. Some foreign-funded enterprises also have environmental goals in their long-term strategic planning, and they also have good reserves in terms of technology. Deep enterprises need to pay attention to "green design"
“The EUP directive has a great impact on the products of Shenzhen enterprises.†According to the survey results of Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, Shenzhen is an important production and export base for China's electrical and electronic and electronic information products. There are more than 3,000 existing electromechanical products production and export enterprises, and annual mechanical and electrical products. The total import and export volume is about 39 billion US dollars, of which about 8 billion US dollars are exported to the EU.
Experts from Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau found that Shenzhen related enterprises are facing many difficulties. For example, due to the relevant specifications and standards of the directives, the product design is difficult to meet the requirements of the directives; the product cycle cannot be mastered; and the environmental design of its products is improved. There are still gaps in technology and the EU.
The inspection and quarantine department recommends that the relevant departments grasp the specifications of each product as early as possible, guide the enterprise to carry out design improvement as soon as possible, and formulate the identification criteria for the significant impact of the products in each stage of the supply chain on the environment as soon as possible, so that the enterprise can determine the environmental impact based on the test results. At the same time, promote environmental design reference standards, establish an environmental design assessment system, help companies collect and organize product-related environmental data, establish an "ecological specification", obtain a "green pass" to the EU, and reduce corporate costs.
Relevant persons of the Shenzhen Household Electrical Appliances Association pointed out that production enterprises must emphasize "green design", from the perspective of energy conservation and environmental protection, reduce the types of materials used, and adopt a design that is easy to disassemble, thereby reducing the cost of recycling in the future.
