What does the China Energy Label (CEL) entail?

The China Energy Label (CEL) is used to show the energy efficiency level of an energy-consuming product. It is similar to the EU Energy Label. It provides consumers with the information they need when they are making purchasing decisions, to guide and help them to choose energy-efficient products.

The label should contain the following information about the product:
1) The name of the manufacturer or its abbreviation;
2) Model and specifications;
3) Energy efficiency level;
4) Energy consumption amount;
5) The serial number of the applicable GB standards for energy efficiency.

Importers and manufacturers can determine the energy efficiency of their products by conducting a test via their own testing lab or authorize a designated testing institution to run the test and determine it for them.
