Regulatory basis
According to the "Energy-saving mark energy consumption Benchmark and Marking Method for Export Signs and Evacuation Direction Indicators" (Announcement of the Energy Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2012), if export signs and evacuation direction indicator products are to obtain energy-saving marks, they must meet the following requirements.

Scope of application
- Only applicable to exit signs and evacuation direction signs.
- Before applying for the energy-saving mark, products must first meet the approved standards of the Fire Protection Department of the Ministry of the Interior before they can enter the energy efficiency testing and review process.
Test conditions
Regulations have strict regulations on the test environment to ensure the fairness and consistency of the results：
- The test ambient temperature should be maintained at 20-27℃ and air flow interference should be avoided.
- The voltage and frequency must be stable, and the range of variation must not exceed ±0.5%.
- The total harmonic distortion of the power supply must be less than 3%.
Energy efficiency benchmarking and grading
The product will be graded according to the input power. The lower the power, the more energy-saving it means.：
- Class A: Input power is less than 6W
- Class B: Input power is less than 4W
- Class C: Input power is less than 3W
Marking specification
Must be clearly marked on the product or packaging：
- User name and address
- Manufacturer information (must be added when the agent sells)
- Power consumption (accurate to one decimal point)
Jinghong recommends
- Manufacturers should plan product development and sample delivery in advance to avoid inconsistent labeling or energy efficiency that will affect the time to market.
- Compliance conditions should be included in the design phase to reduce late rework.
- Jinghong Inspection has the capabilities of energy efficiency testing, optical performance testing, and regulatory consultation, and can assist manufacturers in completing the application requirements for energy-saving labels at once.
Jinghong Inspection will continue to track the latest regulatory developments and provide complete product testing and compliance advice services to help the industry successfully respond to the requirements of the new version of the recognized benchmark.
