The European Union Intends To Improve The Energy Efficiency Standard &Nbsp For Household Appliances. At Present, Only 2 Of Our Export Refrigerators Are Up To Standard.

At present in China

Yesterday, the EU's plan to raise energy efficiency standards for household appliances has poured cold water into the current export situation of domestic refrigerators.

It is reported that

It is understood that from 2003, the energy efficiency grades of refrigerator products are divided into 4 grades from B to A++. Recently, the A+++ grade products are newly added to the product energy efficiency grade, which is 60% more than that of A-class products.

In the European Union region, the products with the highest level of energy efficiency at present technology level are only about 10%.

Wang Jianguo, President of the refrigeration division of the United States refrigeration group, said that it is not difficult to achieve the EU standard, but the gradual upgrading of energy efficiency is also the trend.

According to China Customs related data, in 2009, China exported 15 million 380 thousand refrigerators. The European Union has become an important market for China's fridge exports. It is estimated that the refrigerators exported to the EU account for about 20%-25% of China's fridge exports.

China's exports of refrigerators are mainly concentrated in Hisense Kelon, Omar, Mei, Haier and other export enterprises, and small businesses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces also occupy a certain proportion.

Insiders pointed out that if upgrading the energy efficiency grade of refrigerators, it is necessary to upgrade the production line, which is insufficient for financial strength.
