德国莱茵TÜV认证 TÜV Rheinland Accreditation

Bahrain 巴林

德国莱茵TÜV香港公司近日获得官方批准，成为巴林测试和计量局(BTMD)授权的能效注册认可机构。

TÜV Rheinland Hong Kong Ltd. has been designated by Bahrain Testing and Metrology Directorate (BTMD) as a Notified Body for Energy Efficiency Labelling and MEPS for air conditioners, thereby able to provide technical approval and registration services to manufacturers and importers.

The regulation is defined in Bahrain’s ministerial decree No.70/2015 and has been in force since 20 February 2016. Previously all registrations could only be submitted by the local vendor (importer) in Bahrain to the EWA (Electricity and Water Authority). Starting now the registration scheme is open to designated 3rd party Notified Bodies. Overseas Manufacturers can now directly apply to the Notified Body, providing a more efficient integrated process which can combine multiple approvals together with the Bahrain Energy Efficiency Registrations, such as G-mark, Oman Energy Label etc.

The scope of the regulation covers single-package (such as window type) and split-system non-ducted air conditioners using air- and water-cooled condensers and heat pumps employing air-cooled condensers and ducted air-conditioners using air-to-air heat pumps for the residential, commercial and industrial sector.
Cooling capacities up to 70,000 Btu/h (20 kW) are considered.

4417.2中的某些被列为风险级别3的产品可能不是管控的申报产品 (declared article)，而某些申报产品 (declared article)则在公报中不被视为风险级别3产品。

On March 19 2021, New South Wales published latest Government Gazette. The requirement for NSW is further deviated from the 4417.2. Some of risk level 3 product in 4417.2 may not be a declared article  and some of declared article in Gazette is not considered as risk level 3.

Summary of changes:

There is one specific relaxation in type Range pushing back the current published date by one year from 28 June 2021 to 2022.

Addition of Submersible pumps to the list. Date of application is 2023.

Addition of the international standard as an option for Arc Welders with the addition of a minor Australian deviation in the specification to ensure low flammability.

Clarification of a term ‘separate’ used in the gazette.

Clarification in the definition of DC Isolator. “and includes the dedicated individual enclosure (if any),”

Azerbaijan 阿塞拜疆

阿塞拜疆认证中心 (Azerbaijan Accreditation Center, AZAK) 于2020年12月底以正式信函表明，目前该国EMC审核认证单位仅有一家”PROBO LLC”。以往发证单位 AzeSERT(AZS) 核发的证书都包含EMC，自今年起若产品为Safety及EMC强制项目，需申请两张证书，Safety证书由”AZS”核发，EMC 证书由”PROBO, LLC”核发。

At the end of December 2020, Azerbaijan Accreditation Center confirmed in an official letter, that Certification body “AzeSERT (AZS)” didn‘t have the accreditation to issue EMC approval anymore.

Previously, certification body “AZS” issued certificates that covered both safety and EMC. From this year, the only certification body that has accreditation to issue EMC certificate is “PROBO, LLC”.

If manufacturers have Safety approval from “AZS”, it is therefore necessary to get an additional approval from “PROBO LLC” that covers the EMC requirement for compliance in Azerbaijan.
