First, the machinery and electronic products need to undergo carbon footprint accounting using internationally and domestically recognized standards. After verification by third-party certification bodies listed on the whitelist, they obtain internationally and domestically recognized carbon footprint certificates to ensure the compliance of product carbon data.
Next, the company submits an application for carbon labeling, which is reviewed and approved by the expert committee of the China Machinery and Electronic Products Import and Export Chamber of Commerce. Products that meet the requirements can obtain the China Carbon Label for Machinery and Electronic Products.
Finally, machinery and electronic products that have obtained the carbon label will have their carbon information disclosed on the "", receiving traffic support. Additionally, the product carbon information will be automatically synchronized with relevant applications and procurement scenarios, effectively promoting the value of green and low-carbon products.
By empowering the green and low-carbon value of products, the China Carbon Label for Machinery and Electronic Products can help products gain differential competitive advantages, enter green procurement whitelists, obtain support from national policies, and smoothly navigate green trade barriers for overseas expansion. It represents a landmark pilot project in China's efforts to establish a product carbon labeling and certification system.
