Requirements on Labelling and Inspectio n of Energy Consumption and Energ y 
Efficiency  Rating for Elect ric Pots 
 (Draft) 
 
Basis: Paragraph 4, Article 14 of the Energy Management Act 
Content:  
I. Scope of applicability: 
The Electric Pots denoted in  this Announce ment are those meeting the definition of 
Electric Pots as defined in CNS 12625, and pr omulgated by the Bureau of Standards, 
Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) of the Ministry  of Econom ic Affairs (MOEA) as products 
requiring inspection before m arketing. 
II. Method of test:  
The Nor malized Standing Loss per 24 h value of Electric Pots should be tested under the 
terms and in the m ethod which m ust satisfy the requirem ents set forth in the Chinese National 
Standards “CNS 12625 jElectric P ots”. 
III. Energy consumption rate and efficiency labelling:   
(I) Dimension of  Labelling  
90mm  long, 60mm  wide. 
(II) Specim en and specifications of labelling 

(III) The labelling should include the following item s: 
1. Product nam es(Electric P ots) 
2. Product m odel num ber 
3. Rated water capacity(Liters) 
 4. Normalized standing loss per 24 h value (kW h/24 h) 
5. Energy efficiency rating  
6. Annual electricity consum ption (kWh), which is calculated by the Nor malized 
standing loss per 24 h value (kW h/24 h) X 365 days/year. 
7. The year and announcem ent numbe r of the Announcem ent containing the Criteria 
for Energy Efficiency Rating of Electric Pots used for this rating determ ination 
8. Registration num ber for this rating 
9. Other text as designated by th e Central Com petent Authority  
(IV) Labelling posting: 
While displaying or m arketing the products , the dealer shall display or post the 
labelling on the front of the products, and sha ll not hide, destroy or adopt other m eans to 
render the labelling not r ecognizable by the consum ers. W hile manufacturing or 
importing the products, the produc t manufacturer or im porter shall display the labelling 
in the produ ct instructio n/manual, or place th e labelling in a prom inent area on the front 
of the products. 
(V)  Energy efficiency rating:  
The products shall be classified for energy efficiency rating based on the 
Normalized Standing L oss per 24 h value sh own in the following table and shall be 
remarked onto the energy efficiency labelling.

(VI) Post-m arket surveillan ce action s: 
While m onitoring the im plem entatio n of the energy efficien cy rating s cheme, the 
Central Competent Authority m ay conduct annual product sam pling and testing; the 
 Central Competent Authority m ay designate the sam pled products and the dealer shall 
send the product sam ples to designated testin g laboratory within the allowed tim e. In 
principle, the num ber of products first sam pled and tested shall be decided based on the 
sales num ber of the designated products of th e previous year, and one sam ple shall be 
tested out of 6,000 units of such products sol d. If less than 6,000 units were sold for that 
product in the prior year, one sa mple shall be tested. Noneth eless, the Central Com petent 
Authority m ay change the sam pling ratio based on actual needs.
