In recent years, China's air-conditioning industry has been developing rapidly, not only in the domestic market with stable development, but also in the export market with strong performance. Especially in the 2024 frozen year, air conditioning companies in the overseas market successfully on top, become the core driving force of industrial growth, 2024 China's air conditioning exports are expected to be close to 80 million units. In order to ensure that the industry is stable and far-reaching, to help Chinese air conditioning enterprises in the international arena shine, China Chamber of Commerce for the Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products and the China Electrical Appliance Research Institute are carrying out the export of room air-conditioner energy efficiency carbon efficiency level “industry standard drafting work. It is reported that the standard is expected to be released within the year.

For air conditioning companies, the importance of the export market is becoming more and more prominent. Especially in the 2024 freezing year, in many overseas markets by the high temperature, the world trade barriers are becoming more serious and geopolitical crises and other factors, has been for many years to maintain a positive growth in China's air-conditioning exports, and further showed an explosive high-speed growth trend.
However, with the rapid development of economic globalization and green low-carbonization, the international competition for products is becoming more and more intense. Standardization is an effective means to coordinate technical barriers to trade and simplify trade, and the formulation of export standards can provide a basis for export product quality and promote the development of international trade. In particular, in order to cope with climate change and improve the ecological environment, the international community has taken a variety of measures to restrict and use environmentally friendly refrigerants, and put forward higher requirements for air conditioning energy efficiency. In this context, the development of “export room air conditioner energy efficiency carbon efficiency level” in line with the current realistic needs of air-conditioning manufacturing enterprises, has an important industrial significance, will not only help optimize the air-conditioning products export market competition environment, but also promote foreign trade resources to energy-saving low-carbon products tilt to promote the green development of the foreign trade industry chain, supply chain.
Divided into five carbon efficiency level
At present, China's air conditioning industry adopts the energy efficiency standard GB21455-2019 “Room Air Conditioner Energy Efficiency Limit Values and Energy Efficiency Levels”, which puts forward high requirements in terms of energy efficiency indicators. Since the working conditions in China and other countries are not the same, the test methods of energy efficiency standards adopted are also different. For this reason, through the standardization, up to the standard, the standard drafting group to determine the “export room air conditioner energy efficiency carbon efficiency level” of the indicators for the export of enterprises to provide a standard basis.
Unlike the domestic air conditioning energy efficiency standards only to energy efficiency to grade, “export room air conditioner energy efficiency carbon efficiency level” using energy efficiency and carbon efficiency two indicators for grading. According to the China Chamber of Commerce for the Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products Home Appliances Branch Secretary General Zhou Nan, “export room air conditioner energy efficiency carbon efficiency level”, the export of air conditioners in various regions of energy efficiency and carbon efficiency are divided into five levels. Among them, in the division of carbon efficiency level, A level based on reaching China's energy efficiency level 1, the use of R290 refrigerant (GWP value is the smallest) of the export air conditioner calculations, E level based on reaching China's energy efficiency level 5, the use of R410A refrigerant (GWP value is the largest) of the export of air conditioner calculations, according to the difference between the A, E two levels of carbon efficiency than the level of the index value, equal parts to confirm the carbon efficiency ratio of the three levels of B, C, D The carbon efficiency ratio indicator values for the three grades B, C and D will be recognized in equal parts based on the difference between the carbon efficiency ratio indicator values for the two grades A and E.
Under the background of dual-carbon targets at home and abroad, the household appliance industry is facing the challenge of green and low-carbon transformation, and carrying out the carbon footprint of household appliances will effectively help the industry explore the technical path of energy saving and carbon reduction. In terms of the carbon accounting method, Zhou Nan said that the calculation method of the “Export Room Air Conditioner Energy Efficiency Carbon Rating” and T/CHEAA 0027-2023 “General Rules for Carbon Footprint Accounting of Household Electrical Appliances” are basically the same, which is the calculation of carbon footprints under the functional unit of the product.
For the significance of the development of the “Export Room Air Conditioner Energy Efficiency Carbon Rating”, Zhou Nan believes that it is the active use of standardization means to comprehensively deepen the bi-lateral and multi-lateral practical cooperation and interconnection with countries and regions along the routes in the area of standardization, to promote the conversion and application of domestic standards with foreign standards, to carry out the mutual recognition of standards, and to promote the compatibility of China's standards with the international standard system. “In the process of 'Chinese standards going out', priority can be given to promoting the export of air-conditioning energy efficiency to developing countries along the 'Belt and Road' through 'green foreign aid', where energy efficiency standards are lower than those of China. standards lower than China's developing countries to promote the export of air conditioner energy efficiency carbon efficiency level standards.” Zhou Nan said, next, China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products will play a platform advantage, and the main enterprises and relevant departments and institutions to accelerate the development of green trade standards and certification system construction pace, and actively promote China's standards “go out”, to promote the international cooperation in the field of low-carbon and mutual recognition of standards.
