Energy Efficiency Testing for Asia Pacific
Green Mark (Taiwan)
Intertek provides testing for the Green Mark in our lab in Taiwan. The Green Mark program of R.O.C. (Taiwan) was launched in August 1992 by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA). The program is developed to promote recycling, pollution reduction, and resource conservation. It is a voluntary mark in Taiwan to show the product fulfills basic energy-efficiency and other requirements. The objective of awarding the Green Mark is to guide consumers in product purchasing and to encourage manufacturers to design and supply environmentally benign products.
Hong Kong Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme (HK EELS) Testing
To make it easier for the public to choose energy efficient products, Hong Kong’s Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) operates a voluntary Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme for appliances and equipment used in homes, offices and vehicles. The scheme aims to save energy by informing potential customers of the product's level of energy consumption and efficiency rating.
The scheme now covers seventeen types of household appliances and office equipment. In addition, the HK government proposes to introduce a mandatory Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme. Three kinds of products – room air conditioners, refrigerating appliances and compact fluorescent lamps – will be included in the initial phase of the mandatory Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme.
