How to do China energy efficiency certification for switches?

Edit: GCDC  Affiliation: Certification Information  Views: 104  Release time: 2025-10-31

Against the backdrop of increasing attention to energy consumption of network devices, the energy efficiency performance of switches, as the core equipment of data centers and enterprise networks, has become an important indicator for measuring product quality. The Chinese energy efficiency labeling management system includes network communication equipment in the regulatory scope, making energy efficiency certification an important link in domestic market access.

 

Understand the core value of energy efficiency certification

The implementation of energy efficiency certification is mainly based on the following key considerations: policy compliance: According to the "Catalogue of Products Implementing Energy Efficiency Labeling in the People's Republic of China", switch products must be labeled with energy efficiency labeling. This certification is not only related to the legality of the product, but also an important manifestation of corporate social responsibility.


 

Step by step analysis of authentication process

Establishing certification standards is the primary step. It is necessary to refer to the national standard GB 21544 "Energy Efficiency Limits and Grades for Network Communication Equipment", which specifies the testing methods and grading requirements for switch energy efficiency.

The preparation of samples and materials is a crucial step in the success of certification. The technical documents that need to be prepared include core technical materials such as product specifications, electrical schematics, power consumption test reports, etc.

During the execution phase of certification testing, it is important to focus on the following aspects: typical power consumption testing: evaluating the energy consumption efficiency of measuring equipment under normal working conditions; calculating the energy consumption level per unit of data transmission; standby power consumption: detecting the power consumption of equipment in idle state.

 

Detailed Rules for Energy Efficiency Classification

The current standard divides switch energy efficiency into three levels: Level 1 energy efficiency represents the highest level of energy conservation and is the industry benchmark. Level 2 energy efficiency reflects the market average level and has strong competitiveness. Level 3 energy efficiency serves as the minimum threshold for market access.

 

Technical points of testing process

During the laboratory testing phase, special attention should be paid to ensuring that the testing environment meets the standard requirements, using calibrated precision testing instruments and strictly following the prescribed testing procedures

 

List of Certification Application Materials

The complete application materials should include: product energy efficiency testing report, energy efficiency labeling sample, product basic information summary table, production enterprise qualification certificate documents

 

Analysis of Common Technical Issues

Common difficulties encountered during the certification process include: high no-load losses, mainly due to insufficient optimization of power supply design, resulting in low work efficiency, reflecting significant losses in the energy conversion process of the equipment

 

Technical improvement plan

For common problems, the following solutions can be adopted: optimize the design of the power module, use high-efficiency network processors, improve the heat dissipation system design, and select high-quality electronic components

 

Management requirements for certification follow-up

After obtaining certification, attention should still be paid to: standardized use of labels: ensuring that energy efficiency labels are pasted in accordance with relevant regulations. Record information updates: timely reporting of product information changes to relevant departments. Annual supervision and inspection: cooperating with certification agencies to complete periodic audits

 

Professional implementation suggestions

To ensure the smooth progress of certification, it is recommended that companies introduce green design concepts during the product design phase, establish a sound product energy efficiency management system, and regularly conduct energy efficiency self inspections and improvements

 

Prospects for Certification Benefits

Passing the energy efficiency certification will bring multiple competitive advantages to products: meet the mandatory requirements of government procurement for energy-saving products, obtain the bidding qualification of large Internet enterprises, and improve the position of products in the same type of competition

 

Summary and Recommendations

The energy efficiency certification of switches in China is not only a compliance requirement, but also an effective mechanism to promote technological progress. Through systematic certification preparation and implementation, enterprises can comprehensively enhance the technological content and market competitiveness of their products.
