Latest market access trends of air conditioner and refrigerator refrigeration products in the international market

1、 Air conditioner

Thailand

Thailand TISI issued an announcement on August 11 to publicly solicit opinions on the draft regulation on the energy efficiency of room air conditioners. The draft requires that room air conditioners comply with the standard of "Room Air Conditioners: Energy Efficiency (TIS 2134 – 25XX)" and are applicable to the following products:

● Room air conditioner with total net refrigerating capacity not exceeding 18000 W (rated voltage of single-phase air conditioner not exceeding 250 V and rated voltage of polyphase air conditioner not exceeding 600 V);

● Duct type air conditioner intended to operate at an external static pressure of less than 25 Pa with a net total refrigerating capacity of less than 8000 W;

● Condenser and fan coil assemblies.

The deadline for feedback is 60 days after the release date.

 

Israel

On August 17, 2022, the Ministry of Economy and Industry of Israel announced the revision of the third annex of the Standards Law, adding the standard SI 994 Part 1 "Air conditioner" to the list of standards. According to this standard, products can be imported according to the declaration that they conform to international standards.

Standard SI 994 Part 1: Air conditioning: Requirements for safety and operation, which can be one of the following:

1. Type 0 and 01 equipment;

2. Equipment that does not comply with energy regulations (efficiency). High energy, high energy mark and rating Air conditioning high energy in 2004;

3. According to ISO 817 standard, the cooling gas is not A1 type device;

4. Equipment meeting all these requirements:

● Equipment without molded plug;

● Equipment whose fuses do not conform to the standard SI 60277 SI 60245

 

Ukraine

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine issued Resolution No. 1023 on September 13, 2022, approving the technical regulations on ecological design requirements for space heaters, coolers, high-temperature industrial coolers and fan coil units.

The main purpose of the resolution is to improve the energy and environmental performance of these products. The resolution harmonizes the requirements of Ukraine with Commission Regulation (EC) 2016/2281 concerning the ecological design requirements for air heating products, cooling products, high-temperature process coolers and fan coil units.

In addition, the resolution added air heating products, cooling products, high-temperature freezers and fan coils to the list of products subject to national market supervision by the national market supervision authority in accordance with resolution 1069 of December 28, 2016.
Products covered include:

● Air heating products with rated calorific value not exceeding 1MW;

● Cooling products and high-temperature process coolers with rated cooling capacity not exceeding 2MW;

● Fan coil unit.

After this technical regulation comes into force, there is a 4-year transition period. After the transition period, the ecological design requirements in Annex 2 will become mandatory.

 

 

2、 Refrigerator

Korea

On August 31, 2022, the Korean Energy Agency announced the latest standard implementation date of each MEPS mandatory product, reminding manufacturers to pay attention to the standard date of each product on the energy label of refrigerators.
The date of each MEPS product standard in this bulletin is recorded as August 30, 2022.

 

Britain

The British Ministry of Commerce, Energy and Industrial Strategy issued a 0065/22 announcement: from September 8, 2022, when household refrigerators and household refrigeration appliances are subject to UK UKCA certification, they need to meet the new requirements supplemented in the announcement based on the standard EN 60335-2-24:2010+A11:2020.

Article 24.8 of the original standard EN 60335-2-24:2010/A11:2020 on motor running capacitance will be replaced by Article 24.8 of IEC 60335-224:2010;

In the original standard EN 60335-2-24:2010/A11:2020, the contents of accessible thermal insulation materials and non-metallic materials on the back of Article 30.2 are deleted;

Article 30.2.101 of the original standard EN 60335-2-24:2010/A11:2020 is replaced by Article 22.117 of IEC 60335-224:2010.

 

India

On September 15, the Energy Efficiency Authority of India (BEE) issued an important instruction for manufacturers/licensees of frost free refrigerators (FFR) and direct cooling refrigerators (DCR): the date of "replacement of old and new labels" is postponed to September 30 and will not be postponed.
