On 16 June 2022, China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI) issued a notice to recruit members for the drafting group of the association standard “Green Design Product Evaluation Technical Specification – On-vehicle Electronic Systems”.

Applicants interested in joining the drafting group must meet the following basic requirements:

  • Organizations and persons which are engaged in activities such as production, application, R&D, testing, certification, education, etc., within the field of on-vehicle electronics, having rich practical experience and a high theoretical level, and are familiar with the development and trends of on-vehicle electronics industry and technology.
  • Actively participate in the standardization work, making constructive contributions to the standards formulation process.
  • Perform the responsibilities and obligations of the members of the drafting group, and cooperate with CESA and the leading drafter of the standard to carry out related work.

Applications to join had to be submitted to CESI by 20 July 2022.

The Green Design Product Evaluation System is a recommended product evaluation system led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The system conducts green evaluation on 190 products in various industries, such as petrochemicals, steel, nonferrous metals, building materials, machinery, light industry, electronics, and communications. 192 standards, most of which are association standards, have been adopted by the system so far. The evaluation results, if positive, may be taken as one of key eligibility requirements for receiving financial subsidies and preferential credit, and for participating in government procurement and commercial bidding.

The Green Design Product Evaluation System currently evaluates 24 products in the electronics industry, based on 24 sector and association standards developed by CESI. Therefore it can be expected that Green Design Product Evaluation Technical Specification – On-vehicle Electronic Systems will too be adopted by the system once completed, thus affecting the competition of on-board electronic equipment and systems in the Chinese market. Relevant overseas enterprises are advised to actively participate in the formulation of this standard. Please contact us if assistance is needed.
