In order to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, implement the Energy Conservation Law of the People's Republic of China, the Standardization Law of the People's Republic of China, and the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Complete, Accurate and Comprehensive Implementation of the New Development Concept to Do a Good Job in Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality, the Action Plan for Carbon Peaking Before 2030, the National Standardization Development Outline, the 14th Five-Year Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction and other relevant requirements, continue to promote the updating, upgrading and application of energy-saving standards, and support the energy-saving and carbon-reduction transformation of key areas and industries, Accelerate the research and development, promotion and application of advanced technologies for energy conservation and carbon reduction, and resolutely curb the blind development of high-energy-consumption, high-emission, and low-level projects.

Energy-saving standards are the foundation of the national energy-saving system, and they are also an important support for promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction in the whole society. Mandatory energy consumption quota standards and mandatory energy efficiency standards are the basic requirements to meet the requirements of energy conservation management, and must be implemented in accordance with the law. Up to now, China has issued and implemented 108 national standards for mandatory energy consumption limits, 66 mandatory national standards for energy efficiency, and 190 recommended national standards for energy conservation, and the basic establishment of the energy-saving standard system has played an important role in promoting technological innovation, promoting industrial upgrading, and accelerating green and low-carbon development. All regions, relevant departments and industries should attach great importance to the standardization of energy conservation, accelerate the update and upgrading of energy conservation standards in accordance with the law, effectively strengthen the application and implementation of energy conservation standards, and constantly consolidate the foundation of energy conservation work, so as to actively and steadily promote carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and accelerate the green transformation of development mode to provide strong support.

(A) to speed up the formulation and revision of a number of key areas of energy conservation standards. Organize and implement the "14th Five-Year Plan" 100 energy-saving and carbon-reduction standard improvement actions. In the industrial field, we will speed up the revision of the mandatory energy consumption quota standards for petrochemical, chemical, steel, non-ferrous metals, building materials, machinery and other industries, improve the mandatory energy efficiency standards for key energy-using products and equipment such as motors, fans, pumps, compressors, electric welding machines, and industrial boilers, and strive to achieve internationally advanced standard indicators. In the field of energy, we will speed up the development of energy-saving technical standards related to the clean and efficient use of coal, the use of new and renewable energy, oil and gas storage and transportation, pipeline transportation, and key equipment for power transmission and distribution. In the field of urban and rural construction, we will formulate and revise standards for building energy conservation, green buildings, green construction, and energy conservation of rural residential buildings, and improve product standards related to energy conservation in buildings and municipal infrastructure. In the field of transportation, we will improve the design, construction, operation, monitoring and evaluation of energy-saving and carbon-reduction transportation infrastructure and transportation equipment. In the field of public institutions, accelerate the formulation and revision of evaluation standards for energy-saving institutions, green schools, green hospitals, green venues, etc. In the field of agriculture and rural areas, we will accelerate the research and formulation of technical standards for energy conservation and carbon reduction in the production process of planting and aquaculture, and improve the energy conservation and carbon reduction standards for facility agriculture and agricultural machinery.

(2) Steadily increase the requirements for energy consumption limits in key energy-using industries。 The mandatory energy consumption quota standards for key energy-using industries are divided into advanced values, access values and limit values. Among them, the advanced value is benchmarked against the leading level of energy efficiency in the same industry at home or abroad, and in principle, its value should represent the energy efficiency level of about 5% of the industry; The access value is the energy efficiency level that must be met by new production capacity such as new construction and reconstruction and expansion projects, and in principle, its value should represent the energy efficiency level of about 20% of the industry; The limit value is the energy efficiency level that the production of existing enterprises must achieve, and the value principle should be to eliminate a certain proportion of the existing high-energy-consuming backward production capacity, and eliminate about 20% of the backward products and production capacity on the basis of energy-saving transformation. The access and limit values of the mandatory energy consumption quota standards of the industries involved in the "Energy Efficiency Benchmarking Levels and Benchmark Levels in Key Areas of High Energy-Consuming Industries (2021 Edition)" and "Benchmarking Levels and Benchmark Levels in Key Areas of Clean and Efficient Coal Utilization (2022 Edition)" should be coordinated with the current benchmarking and benchmark levels.

(3) Continue to improve the energy efficiency level of key energy-using products and equipment. The mandatory energy efficiency standards for key energy-using products and equipment are divided into 3 levels (some are 5 levels). Among them, the level 1 should be the leading level of energy efficiency of similar energy-using products and equipment in China or international, and in principle, its value should represent the energy efficiency level of about 5% of similar energy-using products and equipment; Level 2 is used as the basis for energy-saving product certification and equipment procurement for new construction and expansion projects, and in principle, its value should represent the energy efficiency level of about 20% of similar energy-using products and equipment; Level 3 (or Level 5) is the minimum energy efficiency level threshold for energy-using products and equipment to enter the market, according to the technical characteristics and energy efficiency status of various energy-using products and equipment, in principle, about 20% of backward energy-using products and equipment should be eliminated. The products and equipment involved in the "Advanced Level of Energy Efficiency, Energy Saving Level and Access Level of Key Energy-using Products and Equipment (2022 Edition)" shall be coordinated with the current advanced level, energy saving level and access level of the mandatory energy efficiency standards of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 (or Level 5).

(4) Continuously expand the coverage of energy-saving standards. Accelerate the formulation and revision of energy-saving standards for new infrastructure such as data centers and communication base stations, as well as cold chain logistics, new household appliances, etc., and make up for the shortcomings of energy-saving standards in key areas.
