GB/T 40863-2021Assessment technical specification for eco-design product—Motor products (English PDF)

3.1 (electric) motor

a motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy [Source: GB/T 2900.1-2008, 3.3.94]

3.2 Eco-design

the activity that, according to the concept of the whole life cycle, at the product design and development stage, systematically consider the impact of raw material acquisition, manufacturing, packaging and transportation, use and maintenance, and recycling on resources and the environment, strive to minimize resource consumption in the whole life cycle of products, use as little or no raw materials containing harmful substances as possible, reduce the generation and discharge of pollutants, so as to achieve environmental protection

NOTE: Also known as environmentally aware design. [Source: GB/T 32161-2015, 3.2, with modifications]

3.3 Eco-design product

products that meet the eco-design concept and evaluation requirements [Source: GB/T 32161-2015, 3.3]

3.4 Life cycle

a series of successive stages in a product system, from the acquisition of raw materials in nature or from natural resources to final disposal [Source: GB/T 24040-2008, 3.1]

3.5 Life cycle assessment

compilation and evaluation of inputs, outputs and their potential environmental impacts over the life cycle of a product system [Source: GB/T 24040-2008, 3.2]

4.1 Assessment principles

Product assessment should follow the following principles:

- Life cycle philosophy: Using the idea of life cycle, systematically consider the important environmental factors that have a greater impact on the environment at each stage in the entire life cycle of the product.

- Principle of combining qualitative and quantitative assessment: The implementation of eco-design product evaluation shall propose qualitative or quantitative evaluation criteria. If feasible, the selection of quantitative evaluation requirements is encouraged to more accurately reflect the environmental performance of the product.

4.2 Assessment methods

The assessment methods are as follows:

- Indicator assessment, including but not limited to:

- Product environmental protection requirements specified in laws and regulations;

- Other advanced environmental protection requirements for products, including but not limited to industry environmental protection policies, national (industry) standards, customer requirements, environmental protection signs or green procurement technical specifications.

- Life cycle assessment: Carry out product life cycle assessment according to GB/T 24040-2008, GB/T 24044 and GB/T 40100.

4.3 Assessment basis

Products shall be assessed as eco-designed products according to the following criteria:

- Meet the basic requirements for production enterprises (see Chapter 5);

- Meet the product evaluation index requirements (see Chapter 6), and provide relevant compliance documents;

- Carry out product life cycle assessment according to GB/T 24040-2008, GB/T 24044 and GB/T 40100. Provide ecological design evaluation report.

5.1 Management system requirements

The manufacturer should establish and effectively operate quality management systems, environmental management systems and occupational health and safety management systems in accordance with the requirements of GB/T 19001, GB/T 24001, GB/T 45001 (or equivalent standards). It should pass the third-party certification of quality management system, environmental management system and occupational health and safety management system.

5.2 Other basic requirements

Other basic requirements should include:

- Pollutant discharge meets the requirements of national or local pollutant discharge standards. The total amount of pollutants is controlled to reach the total pollutant discharge control target;

- Strictly implement relevant national standards for energy conservation and environmental protection and provide a list of standards. No major quality, safety and environmental pollution accidents in the past three years;

- Adopt advanced technology encouraged by the country. Do not use technologies, processes, equipment and related substances that are phased out or banned by the state or relevant departments;

- Solid waste has a special storage place. Avoid scattering, loss and leakage. Reduce the amount and hazard of solid waste. Make full and rational use and harmless disposal of solid waste;

- Carry out product eco-design according to relevant requirements of GB/T 24256.

Product quality, safety, energy saving and comprehensive utilization level shall meet the relevant requirements of national and industry standards.
