Background

1. Practice and Experience of Promoting Efficient Lighting in China The International Conference on Green Industry in AsiaHan Wei China Standard Certification Center (CSC) September 11th, 2009

2. The electricity consumption for lighting accounted for about 12% of the total electricity consumption in China. Lighting will consume a greater percentage of China's growing electricity demand during the high speed economic development. Lighting is listed as one of the Top Ten Energy Conservation Projects of 11th Five-Year Plan of China. Background

3. China is the world’s leading manufacturer of lighting products and holds the key to improving the quality and efficiency of the lighting products and lowering the cost of high quality, high efficiency lighting products throughout the world. At present, China has more than 5,000 lighting appliance producers, including about 1,000 light source producers, about 3,000 lighting fixture producers and about 1,000 producers of electrical auxiliaries and other related products. China is the world's largest manufacturer of energy-saving lamps, producing around 80 percent of the global supply, yet it is still a long way from lighting itself in an energy friendly way. 2006: CFL：produced 2.4 billion/ exported 1.7 billion IL：produced 4.3 billion/ exported 2.4 billion Background

4. Production of GLS and ESL in China

5. Sales of China’s Lighting Industry - Total

6. Initial purchase costs of energy-saving lamps are higher; Consumer awareness of lighting electricity saving is low; Some low-quality products with poor efficiency have easy access to the market and have damaged the confidence of consumers. The manufacturing technique capacity of the lighting products is partly still low and not sufficient; Major Problems

7. Developed Energy Efficiency Standards for a range of lighting products Developed effective labelling and certification programmes for lighting products Strengthened the capabilities of support institutions (e.g testing facilities) within China Developed lighting standards for buildings Improved the performance of lighting test laboratories in China Developed and implemented market based approaches to enhance the market structure and increase the market demand pull for efficient lighting products, including Quality Commitment Programmes, Market Aggregation actions, Utility based programmes, support for lighting initiatives within Energy Management Companies, Consumer Education programmes, etc China Green Lighting Initiatives With GEF grant supports, China has been initiating series of green lighting capacity building projects in last 10 years:

8. Energy Efficiency Standard and Labeling Programmes

13. Regulation and Incentive Policies

14. On December 17, 2004, MOF and NDRC jointly issued the Procurement Policy for Energy Efficient Products. Government agencies at all levels (public sector non-profits units and organizations) are required in the procurement process to give priority to products certified as energy-efficient. The List of Energy-Efficient Products for the Government procurement scheme draws on the results of China national energy efficiency endorsement labeling programme. The energy-efficiency product list has been updated in a timely manner. Government Procurement for EE labeled Products • Product List of Government EE • Procurement • Air Conditioner • Refrigerator • Lighting Products • Double-capped FLs • CFLs • Single-capped FLs • Ballast for FLs • High-pressure sodium lamp • Ballast for high-pressure sodium lamp • TVs • Water Heater • Motor • Computer • Printer • Fax • Copier • Transformer • Monitor • Adaptor

15. State Council Circular No. [2007]15 （二十九）加大实施能效标识和节能节水产品认证管理力度。加快实施强制性能效标识制度，扩大能效标识应用范围，今年发布《实行能效标识产品目录（第三批）》。加强对能效标识的监督管理，强化社会监督、举报和投诉处理机制，开展专项市场监督检查和抽查，严厉查处违法违规行为。推动节能、节水和环境标志产品认证，规范认证行为，扩展认证范围，在家用电器、照明等产品领域建立有效的国际协调互认制度。 • Article 29: Enhance the implementation of EE standard and certification scheme…Establish the harmonization system for home appliances and lighting products. • Article 38: Develop the tax incentive policy for the EE products • Article 45:Reinforce the Government EE procurement…Compulsory for office equipments and lighting products （三十八）制定和完善鼓励节能减排的税收政策。抓紧制定节能、节水、资源综合利用和环保产品（设备、技术）目录及相应税收优惠政策。 （四十五）加强政府机构节能和绿色采购。认真落实《节能产品政府采购实施意见》和《环境标志产品政府采购实施意见》，进一步完善政府采购节能和环境标志产品清单制度，不断扩大节能和环境标志产品政府采购范围。对空调机、计算机、打印机、显示器、复印机等办公设备和照明产品、用水器具，由同等优先采购改为强制采购高效节能、节水、环境标志产品。建立节能和环境标志产品政府采购评审体系和监督制度，保证节能和绿色采购工作落到实处。

16. In 2008 Chinese governments have launched a Financial Subsidies Fund of Promoting High Efficient Lighting Products for the next three years. 2008: 60 million 2009: 120 million The permitted suppliers and the agreed supply prices should be determined by uniform bidding, and the winners sell the products to end-uses at beneficial prices Bulk users will receive a subsidy of 30% price discount on each high efficient lighting product. Urban and rural residents will receive a subsidy of 50% price discount on each high efficient lighting product. The subsidy programs are implemented through the network of the local energy conservation service centers. Energy Efficient Lighting Products Subsidy Programme

17. Project of Phasing out Incandescent Lamps and Promoting Energy-saving Lamps in China

18. In 2008 a new project proposal of Phasing out Incandescent Lamps and Promoting Energy-saving Lamps in China was submitted to GEF and was approved for a GEF funding of USD14 million early this year. The objective of the PILESLAMP project is to enhance the promotion and higher utilization of energy saving lamps (ESLs) in China through the transformation of the local lighting products market and develop a roadmap of the phasing-out of incandescent lamp production and sale in China. Project Objective

21. Regional and International Collaboration

22. Asia: Barrier Removal to the Cost-Effective Development and Implementation of Energy Efficiency Standards and Labeling Project (BRESL) (UNDP/GEF) • BRESL is aimed at rapidly accelerating the adoption and implementation of energy standards and labels (ES&L) in Asia, and in so doing bring about energy savings from the use of energy efficient appliances/equipment. • The project also facilitates harmonization of test procedures, standards and labels among developing countries in Asia, when appropriate. • Target Countries: Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Pakistan • Products covered by BRSEL: • Refrigerators • Room air conditioners • Electric motors • Ballasts for FLs • Electric fans • Compact fluorescent lamps • Rice cookers

23. Background A global labelling program for EE lighting products Seed funding by GEF and implemented in 7 countries by IFC starting in 1998 In 2005, China Standard Certification Center was authorized by IFC to administrate the Phase 2 ELI program Government agencies and utilities can specify and procure ELI products to help build markets, lowering their risk without having to do all the technical work on their own. Manufacturers benefit from a third-party quality certification, distinguishing their products from lesser quality products. Distributors and retailers can use ELI specifications to assure quality lighting products for their customers. ELI Global Labelling Program www.efficientlighting.net

24. Further improve the technical capacity of the lighting manufactures to produce more high quality and efficient products Incentive policies for lighting products are considered by the governments to encourage the production and use of energy conservation products Promote the use and application of high technology lighting products, e.g. LED products, ceramic metal-halide lamps, etc. Improve the existed standards, expand the products category for energy efficient standard and labeling and improve the supervision and management Coordination and mutual recognition with international energy efficiency lighting standards and labels Strengthen the international collaboration in the process of phasing out GLS.
