TV exports to the U.S. compulsory energy efficiency labels to be affixed

October 27, 2010, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) adopted a final rule TV EnergyGuide label (Final Rule). May 10, 2011 after the production of the TV must display the EnergyGuide label, so buy the TV out more about different types of consumers and product information on energy consumption. A recent FTC for "Electric labeling requirements" (Appliance Labeling Rule) requirements of the amendments to be affixed in the new TV on the familiar yellow and black energy efficiency labels. The removable label has already appeared in domestic appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, TV sets it will provide the estimated annual energy costs as well as compared with other similar models such as the cost of the scope of useful information. FTC requires disclosure in the new TV affixed to the main content of the two labels: first, the TV's estimated annual energy costs; second, and other similar TV screen size comparison of the annual energy costs. Final rule requirements, a new label should be able to see from the TV front. Manufacturers can use a triangular or rectangular label (horizontal or vertical) labels. From July 11, 2011, the revised rules will require sellers to the TV Web site should display a full EnergyGuide label icon. Inspection and quarantine departments suggested that the strict energy efficiency standards will help the industry reshuffle purification, enterprises should take the initiative in an active interest in foreign energy efficiency standards and labeling requirements at the same time, measures taken from the following breakthroughs: First, attention to energy efficiency standards, will focus on product safety, appearance, etc. transferred to the energy efficiency of the attention, considering the size of the production life cycle energy consumption, according to requirements of importing countries to do energy efficiency standards for energy consumption evaluation work. Second, technological innovation, and actively improve product energy-efficient design, to take positive and effective energy efficiency index of the technical means to accelerate the development of energy saving methods and devices, and used in line with the energy use requirements of energy-saving environment-friendly raw materials and parts, to energy efficiency as a priority product design considerations, to ensure the smooth export of products. (Fuck Dan) Toy exports to Japan will limit the use of phthalates The end of September 2010, the Japanese Health Ministry released a report on phthalates amendment bill a restraining order. Under the new regulations, restricted by the two kinds of phthalates to 6. From September 6, 2011, the production or imports of toys and shall comply with the new regulations. Restrictions on the use of 6 phthalates are: dibutyl phthalate (DBP), phthalic acid (2 - ethylhexyl) (DEHP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP ), isodecyl phthalate ester (DIDP), isononyl phthalate ester (DINP), octyl phthalate (DNOP). At the same time the new regulations also clearly not the six phthalates in toys for the production of regulations and the content of the specified quality of materials shall not be greater than the 0.1% limit. Phthalates is a plasticizer widely used in toys, food packaging materials, wallpaper, plastic models and other plastic products. Containing phthalates plastic toys or children's products may be put into the mouth of a child, if placed on long enough, it will lead to the dissolution of phthalates in excess of safety standards and endanger children's liver and kidneys, but also may cause 儿童性早熟. At present, the Chinese-made children's toys in the increasing share of global output, and its annual output value of more than a thousand billion and children's products manufactured in Ningbo is a large city. According to Ningbo Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Statistics: January to October this year, Ningbo's exports to Japan a total of 598 batches of children's toys, together $ 10,005,000, up first ten months of 2009, 394 batches of toys to Japan, 7181000 dollars, respectively, rising by 51.8% and 39.2%, showing very strong growth momentum. At present, the developed countries on imported goods contained in the content of phthalate esters have very strict rules, product communications, return is also a toy exports in recent years, the problems often encountered. This time, the introduction of new restrictions that will be on export toy companies have been affected, because the current number of toy manufacturers in order to save costs, will be used when you need to add plasticizers phthalates, and the Japan decision to limit the use of such material terms, means that the related production companies must look for other alternatives, which directly affects the production costs and profit margins, but also indirectly affect the export of China's toy products competitive. Therefore, the restraining order this if we do not pay close attention and take active countermeasures, will inevitably cause a significant impact. In view of this, the inspection and quarantine departments to remind the toy export enterprises in the export of toys and children's products in Japan should pay attention to the following aspects: First, pay attention to the lost days of phthalates in children's products to control the use, through alternative The use or product upgrades, avoiding phthalates used in production. Second, the enterprise is still in use, pay attention to quality control and limits on pre-shipment inspection, do not return because of excessive lead, then lead to unnecessary losses. Third, note that the new regulations take effect, the related technical indicators do early detection of certification. Fourth, note that the study collection of standard regulations for new regulations to make a positive adjustment in the increasingly stringent international markets grasp the initiative.
