Agenda:
1. Follow-up of Energy Labeling letter 2. Update on the drafting of 4 Key Issues 3. Lobby Plan 4. Chair Election 5. Forward Agenda
Minutes: 1. Follow-up of Energy Labeling Letter Business Manager briefed the members feedback got from CNCA and CNIS regarding the Energy-labeling letter. It was agreed that a follow-up meeting should be seek with Wang Ruohong from CNIS. If the implementation date cannot be further extended, a meeting with the department of AQSIQ which is charge of market supervision would be requested.
2. Update on the drafting of 4 Key Issues (an updated version can be find as attached) RoHS Members had no further comments/suggestions on Xie Dong’s latest version.
WEEE Members discussed the pros & cons of using weight versus number as a way to measure and monitor lamps. It was agreed that number would make more sense. Zhang Junbin suggested expanding the recommendation part by suggesting a specific road map (ie 1year research + 1 to 2 years trail + 1 to 2 years legislation). Philips will update this part by the end of the week.
EUP After careful consideration and discussion, the members felt that it is hard to approach this issue from international companies’ prospective. We are not in a position to address the government’s main concern which is the potential laying off of workers. Therefore, it was suggested that Standardization would replace EUP as a key recommendation. Again, Philips will draft this part within 2 weeks.
Efficiency Labeling Members were fine with the draft by Junbin Zhang.
