Energy Consumption Measurement. 11 3

5 Revision of Electricity Consumption Testing Procedure for Refrigerators (May 2006) Testing methods for refrigerators in Japan has been JIS C9801 which is compatible with ISO 8561 to measure annual electricity usage. But it was pointed out by a consumer organization that it does not necessarily reflect differences in electricity use depending on the set temperature, installation condition, or effect from outside temperature as shown in the figure. To reflect such discrepancy, JIS C9801 was revised on the 1 st May With the revised methodology to measure, JIS annual electricity consumption shows bigger figures than with old measurement method. This new method is being deliberating in IEC/TC59M 11 Energy Saving Labeling Scheme Energy Saving Labeling Program was started in Year The purpose of this program is to promote popularization of highly energy efficient products, by means of providing information to consumers on their energy efficient performance. Although it is a voluntary program based on JIS C9901, Energy Saving Labels are actively utilized in product catalogs by manufacturers and point of purchase of purchase displaysat at retail stores. As of September 2010, labeling is applied to the following 18 products: air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, fluorescent lights, TV sets, space heaters, gas cooking appliances, gas water heaters, oil water heaters, electric toilet seats, computers, magnetic disks, transformers, DVD recorders, rice cookers, micro wave ovens, routers, and switching units. 4

6 Uniform Energy Saving Label The Revised Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy enforced in April 2006 stipulates that retailers shall make efforts to provide information. In light of this, a guideline was formulated, including providing information by using uniform energy saving labels. The system started in October As of September, 2010, air conditioners, televisions, TV sets, electric refrigerators, lighting equipment and electric toilet seats the targets of this system. Uniform Energy Saving Label Multi stage rating system Energy saving performance is indicated in 5 stages, from 1 to 5 stars, from low to high performance of products offered in the market. In order to clarify the compliance level with the Top Runner standard, arrows are placed under the stars, showing achievement and non achievement. Energy saving labeling system Products which achieved the Top Runner standard carry a green e mark, while hl others carry an orange e mark. Achievement level and annual electricity consumption are also indicated. Expected annual electricity bill The expected annual electricity bill is indicated to show the energy consumption efficiency (annual electricity consumption) clearly. 11 Organizational Structure of Ministry, Economy, Trade and Industry Japan s energy conservation policies are deliberated by an Advisory Committee for Natural Resources and Energy. For the Top Runner Standard Values, deliberations are conducted by the Energy Efficiency Standards Subcommittee assisted and administered by an office in charge in the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy. Energy saving labeling and performance testing standards are stipulated in JIS. These measures are deliberated by Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC) in which Technical Regulations, Standards and Conformity Assessment Policy Unit is working as a secretariat. Policy coordination between regulator and standard setting body is important Minister s Secretariat Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Industrial Science and Technology Policy Bureau Technical Regulations, Standards and Conformity Assessment Policy Division Commerce and Information Policy Bureau Technical Information and Communication Electronics Division Agency for Natural Resources and Energy Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy Department Energy Efficiency and Conservation Division Policy coordination between regulator and standard setting body is important 5

7 Recommendation to APEC In order to secure the reliable energy saving scheme, accurate testing with adequate equipment and skilled testers based on the latest international standard is important. Capacity building is necessary. In order to mitigate a technical barrier to trade, performance testing standards should be harmonized, taking into account the variation of climate and situation of usage. Policy coordination is important between divisions in charge of energy saving policy and standard setting in each economy. APEC could be a appropriate forum to discuss the possibility of harmonization of standards d and labeling. li 6
