Mandatory directives for producers and importers

 

All producers and importers must comply with the directive to ensure that the products produced and imported meet the minimum energy efficiency standards required by the directive. Manufacturers and importers shall pass the test conducted by the recognized third-party certification body to obtain the compliance energy efficiency report and certificate.

 

NRCan and ERP, gems, CEC and other energy efficiency requirements are similar. However, in order to control the most stringent energy efficiency requirements, NRCan needs to inspect the factory, and there is a certificate after the application, and there are relevant annual fees. The application is basically based on a single model
