It is reported that the Brazilian government recently issued the Order of the Cabinet, the new on air conditioning, gas water heaters, stoves, gas stoves and refrigerators, refrigerator minimum energy efficiency standards, according to regulations, manufacturers and importers will be December 31, 2012 from the implementation of the new energy efficiency standards; wholesalers and retailers will be December 31, 2013 from the implementation of the new standards, In addition, split and cassette type air conditioner floor flat top of the latest energy efficiency standards for these products will take effect after the effective date of the year.

Standard main contents are: 9000 per hour for stand-alone flow to 20000Btu window air conditioners, new minimum energy efficiency standards for the 2.30 to 2.78w/w, separate air-conditioning minimum energy efficiency standards for 2.60w/w; instantaneous heating type gas water heater should be 76% of the energy efficiency requirements, the volume up to 250 liters storage-type water heater should reach 72% of the energy efficiency requirements; stove is required to achieve 57% energy efficiency standards; gas furnace is required to achieve 37% energy efficiency standards; conventional refrigerator maximum energy consumption of 1113, horizontal refrigerator 1162; frost-free refrigerator maximum energy consumption 1174.

It is reported that from 2009, China became Brazil's largest trading partner in South America, Brazil is China's largest trading partner as the world's two major emerging economies, China and Brazil's trade is becoming more frequent. China's exports to Brazil's main products are machinery, electrical and electronic products and accessories, automobiles, chemical products and clothing, etc. With the national emphasis on environmental protection, energy efficiency of electrical products more and more stringent requirements, the U.S., EU, New Zealand and other countries have introduced energy efficiency standards, which the Chinese home appliance products export enterprises raised new challenges and technological innovation requires inspection and quarantine departments to remind the relevant export enterprises: To prompt attention to national home appliance products, energy efficiency standards updates, advance preparations to cope with risk-averse. At the same time, emphasis on product quality, improve production processes and technology research,Under the new standards for production, to meet the minimum energy efficiency standards from the source to avoid damage caused by the recall notification, if necessary, can be entrusted to the relevant standards of the importing country in accordance with the laboratory energy efficiency testing.
