Protection class 3 For toxic (T) and extremely toxic (T+) substances and if the protection class2 is not enough, the measures of the protection class3 have to be realized. The following additional measures are required according to 10 of the German Ordinance on Hazardous Substances: Closed systems or Access restriction An example can be the welding of galvanized and coated materials. Protection class 4 For activities involving the use of c arcinogenic, mutagenic or fertility affecting substances, additional safeguards have to be realized if the limit values at the workplace according to 11 Ordinance on Hazardous Substances (protection class 4) are exceeded: eparation of the danger zone S Recirculation of exhaust air only for exceptional cases (cf. german TRGS 560) Among others, the protection class4 has to be fulfilled during welding of chromium-nickel steels.

Welding procedures

welding procedures
manual electric arc welding (manual e-welding)

application

in particular in building construction, but also in precision mechanics

method

electric arc burns between the electrode and the work piece (while feeding of direct or alternating current) stick electrode (filler material) depending on work piece and welding job encased by a suitable filler material welding with pure carbon dioxide or with a gas mixture of carbon dioxide, argon and oxygen in order to influence the welding compound in ccordance to the particular technological a requirements

danger

development of gas during the process of melting off high emission rates of substances which are hazardous to health
plasma cutting and plasma welding (plasma jet plasma arc welding)
cutting or welding of chromium nickel steels or aluminium micro welding e ngineering (e.g. sheets of 0.1mm thickness) main fields of application: container and machine construction, pipeline construction and aerospace industry
work carried out with plasma jet (plasma: conductive gas heated by electric arc) which enables a contact-free ignition of the electric arc the plasma jet is surrounded by a protective gas coating (e.g. a compound of argon with hydrogen), which protects the melting from oxidation, h erewith resulting in higher energy concentration as during the WIG process (gas tungsten-arc w elding) higher welding speeds possible and lesser distortion and tension, the work piece melts and one part vaporizes because of higher temperature of the plasma jet (up to and higher than 20000 C) oxidation of hydrocarbons while producing heat oxyacetylene welding procedures do not need electricity or cooling water a burner and a combustion gas bottle are sufficient for the electronic and finery industry, in case of higher need of energy in flame (e.g. manufacturing industry) oxygen or compressed air is fed to achieve the necessary temperature and intensity of the flame the mostly applied methods of oxyacetylene welding are: gas welding, torch brazing, oxygen torch cutting and flame cleaning the steel sheets are being compressed at one point by means of two opposing electrodes the welding current is being lead into the steel sheets by means of electrodes (mostly copper and copper alloys), which results in melting of the base material at the transition between the steel sheets
metal dusts, consisting of nitrogen oxide, low ozone concentration
active-gas metal-arc welding (MAG)
alloyed and higheralloyed steels
Increase of welding fume emission according to the augmentation of power, and decline after passage of a maximum decline of emission of welding fumes due to increasing fraction of raregas in the inert gas lower amount of fumes produced during MIG processes compared to MAG processes, but higher amount of ozone during MIG welding processes of aluminium high emissions of welding fumes very clean method, very few splatters, few harmful substances and few e missions of fumes pay attention to the roduction of ozone p almost no welding fume emission

oxyacetylene welding

inert-gas metal-arc welding (MIG)
high-alloyed steels, aluminium, aluminium alloys, copper, titan and other non-ferrite-metals
no active gas but instead induction of inert-gas (argon and helium and their compounds) to keep the aerial oxygen away from the welding seam

CLEANMASTER mechanical filter unit fitted with 2 suction elements
Appropriate to: dust suction during welding jobs using
non alloyed steels with very strong smoke emission.
Description Mobile suction and filter unit appro priated for up to two welding places. The suction arms can be easily regulated in all positions. The gross particles are separated in the pocket filter. Afterwards the air is guided through the pre filter into the particle filter (separation efficiency 99%) where even finest dusts and fumes are separated. The long lasting pocket filter extracts the gross particles from the air flow and therefore increases the lifetime of the particle filter. This minimizes considerably the consequential costs. The lifting device for the filter elements closes the filter airtight and forces the air through the filter elements. The air is evacuated on the backside of the unit through outlet grills and rises up. Thus, at a 1 m distance, no disturbing air flow is perceivable any more. A stable steel plate construction with a continuous powder coating guarantees a low maintenance operation even under rough conditions. The unit is fitted with a high-capacity fan with high negative pressure that guarantees a high air flow even if the filter is saturated.

Adding carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) to Earth's atmosphere, with no other changes, will make the planet's surface warmer. Greenhouse gases create a natural greenhouse effect without which temperatures on Earth would be an estimated 30 C (54 F) lower, so that Earth would be uninhabitable. It is therefore not correct to say that there is a debate between those who "believe in" and "oppose" the greenhouse effect as such. Rather, the debate concerns the net effect of the addition of greenhouse gases when allowing for compounding or mitigating factors. One example of an important feedback process is ice-albedo feedback. The increased CO2 in the atmosphere warms the Earth's surface and leads to melting of ice near the poles. As the ice melts, land or open water takes its place. Both land and open water are on average less reflective than ice, and thus absorb more solar radiation. This causes more warming, which in turn causes more melting, and this cycle continues. Due to the thermal inertia of the Earth's oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects, the Earth's current climate is not in equilibrium with the forcing imposed by increased greenhouse gases. Climate commitment studies indicate that, even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at present day levels, a further warming of about 0.5 C (0.9 F) would still occur
NOTE: Every Spaniard is responsible of emitting to the atmosphere 10 tons of CO2 yearly (carbon footprint). The States will be fined for every additional ton emitted from 2012 and on. There is a Stock Exchange where the companies can buy and sell emission rights. CO2 comes from the burning of fossil fuels like petrol, coal and natural gas created inside the Earth million years ago and in which the carbon generated accumulated. 3. GREENHOUSE EFFECT The greenhouse effect, discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824 and first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896, is the process in which the emission of infrared radiation by an atmosphere warms a planet's surface. In the case of the Earth, without these greenhouse gases its surface would be up to 30C cooler. The name comes from an incorrect analogy with the way in which greenhouses are heated by the sun in order to facilitate plant growth. In addition to the Earth, Mars and especially Venus have greenhouse effects. In common parlance, the term "greenhouse effect" may be used to refer either to the natural greenhouse effect, due to naturally occurring greenhouse gases, or to the enhanced (anthropogenic) greenhouse effect, which results from gases emitted as a result of human activities (see also global warming, scientific opinion on climate change and attribution of recent climate change).

The Earth receives energy from the Sun in the form of radiation. The Earth reflects about 30% of the incident solar flux; the remaining 70% is absorbed, warming the land, atmosphere and oceans, and powering life on this planet. To the extent that the Earth is in a steady state, the energy stored in the atmosphere and ocean does not change in time, so energy equal to the absorbed solar radiation must be radiated back to space. Earth radiates energy into space as black-body radiation, which maintains a thermal equilibrium. This thermal, infrared radiation increases with increasing temperature. One can think of the Earth's temperature as being determined by the infrared flux needed to balance the absorbed solar flux.

Solar radiation at top of atmosphere and at Earth's surface. The visible solar radiation heats the surface, not the atmosphere, whereas most of the infrared radiation escaping to space is emitted from the upper atmosphere, not the surface. The infrared photons emitted by the surface are mostly absorbed by the atmosphere and do not escape directly to space. The reason why this results in a warming of the surface is most easily understood by starting with a model of a purely radiative greenhouse effect, in which one ignores the fact that a large part of the energy transfer in the atmosphere is not in fact radiative, but associated with convection (sensible heat transport) and the evaporation and condensation of water vapor, or latent heat transport. In this purely radiative case, one can think of the atmosphere as emitting infrared radiation both upwards and downwards. The upward infrared flux emitted by the surface must balance not only the absorbed solar flux but also this downward infrared flux emitted by the atmosphere. The surface temperature will rise until it generates thermal radiation equivalent to the sum of these two incident radiation streams. A more realistic picture taking into account the convective and latent heat fluxes is somewhat more complex. But the following simple model captures the
Revised / Date: 2007 Page N: 7 of 64
essence. The starting point is to note that the opacity of the atmosphere to infrared radiation determines the height in the atmosphere from which most of the photons emitted to space are emitted. If the atmosphere is more opaque, the typical photon escaping to space will be emitted from higher in the atmosphere, because one then has to go to higher altitudes to see out to space in the infrared. Since the emission of infrared radiation is a function of temperature, it is the temperature of the atmosphere at this emission level that is effectively determined by the requirement that the emitted flux balance the absorbed solar flux. But the temperature of the atmosphere generally decreases with height above the surface, at a rate of roughly 6.5 C per kilometer on average, until one reaches the stratosphere 10-15 km above the surface. (Most infrared photons escaping to space are emitted by the troposphere, the region bounded by the surface and the stratosphere, so we can ignore the stratosphere in this simple picture.) A very simple model, but one that proves to be remarkably useful, involves the assumption that this temperature profile is simply fixed, by the nonradiative energy fluxes. Given the temperature at the emission level of the infrared flux escaping to space, one then computes the surface temperature by increasing temperature at the rate of 6.5 C per kilometer, the environmental lapse rate, until one reaches the surface. The more opaque the atmosphere, and the higher the emission level of the escaping infrared radiation, the warmer the surface, since one then needs to follow this lapse rate over a larger distance in the vertical. While less intuitive than the purely radiative greenhouse effect, this less familiar radiative-convective picture is the starting point for most discussions of the greenhouse effect in the climate modeling literature. The term "greenhouse effect" is a source of confusion in that actual greenhouses do not warm by this same mechanism The greenhouse gases Quantum mechanics provides the basis for computing the interactions between molecules and radiation. Most of this interaction occurs when the frequency of the radiation closely matches that of the spectral lines of the molecule, determined by the quantization of the modes of vibration and rotation of the molecule. (The electronic excitations are generally not relevant for infrared radiation, as they require energy larger than that in an infrared photon.) The width of a spectral line is an important element in understanding its importance for the absorption of radiation. In the Earths atmosphere these spectral widths are primarily determined by pressure broadening, which is the distortion of the spectrum due to the collision with another molecule. Most of the infrared absorption in the atmosphere can be thought of as occurring while two molecules are colliding. The absorption due to a photon interacting with a lone molecule is relatively small. This three-body aspect of the problem, one photon and two molecules, makes direct quantum mechanical computation for

Revised / Date: 2007 Page N: 8 of 64
molecules of interest more challenging. Careful laboratory spectroscopic measurements, rather than ab initio quantum mechanical computations, provide the basis for most of the radiative transfer calculations used in studies of the atmosphere. The molecules/atoms that constitute the bulk of the atmosphere; oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2) and argon; do not interact with infrared radiation significantly. While the oxygen and nitrogen molecules can vibrate, because of their symmetry these vibrations do not create any transient charge separation that enhances the interaction with radiation. In the Earths atmosphere, the dominant infrared absorbing gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone (O3), these molecules being floppier so that their rotation/vibration modes are more easily excited. For example, carbon dioxide is a linear molecule, but it has an important vibrational mode in which the molecule bends with the carbon in the middle moving one way and the oxygens on the ends moving the other way, creating some charge separation, a dipole moment. A substantial part of the greenhouse effect due to carbon dioxide exists because this vibration is easily excited by infrared radiation. Clouds are also very important infrared absorbers. Therefore, water has multiple effects on infrared radiation, through its vapor phase and through its condensed phases. Other absorbers of significance include methane, nitrous oxide and the chlorofluorocarbons. Discussion of the relative importance of different infrared absorbers are confused by the overlap between the spectral lines due to different gases, widened by pressure broadening. As a result, the absorption due to one gas cannot be thought of as independent of the presence of other gases. One convenient approach is to remove the chosen constituent, leaving all other absorbers, and the temperatures, untouched, and monitoring the infrared radiation escaping to space. The reduction in infrared absorption is then a measure of the importance of that constituent. More precisely, define the greenhouse effect (GE) to be the difference between the infrared radiation that the surface would radiate to space if there were no atmosphere and the actual infrared radiation escaping to space. Then compute the percentage reduction in GE when a constituent is removed. The table below is computed by this method, using a particular 1-dimensional model of the atmosphere. More recent 3D computations lead to similar results.

Revised / Date: 2007 Page N: 9 of 64
(Source: Ramanathan and Coakley, Rev. Geophys and Space Phys., (1978)) By this particular measure, water vapor can be thought of as providing 36% of the greenhouse effect, and carbon dioxide 12%, but the effect of removal of both of these constituents will be greater than 48%. An additional proviso is that these numbers are computed holding the cloud distribution fixed. But removing water vapor from the atmosphere while holding clouds fixed is not likely to be physically relevant. In addition, the effects of a given gas are typically nonlinear in the amount of that gas, since the absorption by the gas at one level in the atmosphere can remove photons that would otherwise interact with the gas at another altitude. The kinds of estimates presented in the table, while often encountered in the controversies surrounding global warming, must be treated with caution. Different estimates found in different sources typically result from different definitions and do not reflect uncertainties in the underlying radiative transfer.

Details Each European Union member state will adopt its own enforcement and implementation policies using the directive as a guide. Therefore, there could be as many different versions of the directive as there are states in the EU. RoHS is often referred to as the lead-free directive, but it restricts the use of the following 6 substances: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Lead Mercury Cadmium Hexavalent chromium (Chromium VI or Cr6+) Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)
PBB and PBDE are flame retardants used in some plastics. The maximum concentrations are 0.1% or 1000ppm (except for Cadmium, which is limited to 0.01% or 100 ppm) by weight of homogeneous material. This means that the limits do not apply to the weight of the finished product, or even to a component, but to any single substance that could (theoretically) be separated mechanicallyfor example, the sheath on a cable or the tinning on a component lead. As an example, a radio comprises a case, screws, washers, a circuit board, speakers, etc. A circuit board comprises a bare PCB, ICs, resistors, switches etc. A switch comprises a case, a lever, a spring, contacts, pins, etc. The contact might comprise a copper strip with a surface coating. Everything that can be identified as a homogeneous material must meet the limit. So if it turns out that the case was made of plastic with 2,300 ppm (0.23%)
Revised / Date: 2007 Page N: 14 of 64
PBB used as a flame retardant, then the entire radio would fail the requirements of the directive. In an effort to close RoHS loopholes, in May 2006 the European Commission was asked to review two currently excluded product categories (monitoring and control equipment) for future inclusion in the products that must fall into RoHS compliance. In addition the commission entertains requests for deadline extensions or for exclusions by substance categories, substance location or weight. Note that batteries are not included within the scope of RoHS. However, in Europe, batteries are under the European Commission's 1991 Battery Directive (91/157/EEC, which was recently increased in scope and approved in the form of the new battery directive, version 2003/0282 COD, which will be official when submitted to and published in the EU's Official Journal. While the first Battery Directive addressed possible trade barrier issues brought about by disparate European member states' implementation, the new directive more explicitly highlights improving and protecting the environment from the negative effects of the waste contained in batteries. It also contains a program for more ambitious recycling of industrial, automotive, and consumer batteries, gradually increasing the rate of manufacturer-provided collection sites to 45% by 2016. It also sets limits of 5 ppm mercury and 20 ppm cadmium to batteries except those used in medical, emergency, or portable power-tool devices. Though not setting quantitative limits on quantities of lead, lead-acid, nickel, and nickel-cadmium in batteries, it cites a need to restrict these substances and provide for recycling up to 75% of batteries with these substances. There are also provisions for marking the batteries with symbols in regard to metal content and recycling collection information. The directive applies to equipment as defined by a section of the WEEE directive. These are the following: Large and small household appliances. IT equipment. Telecommunications equipment (although infrastructure equipment is exempt in some countries) Consumer equipment. Lighting equipmentincluding light bulbs. Electronic and electrical tools. Toys, leisure, and sports equipment. Automatic dispensers. It does not apply to fixed industrial plant and tools. Compliance is the responsibility of the company that puts the product on the market, as defined in the Directive; components and sub-assemblies are not responsible for product compliance. Of course, given the fact that the regulation is applied at the homogeneous material level, data on substance concentrations needs to be

Their work in Europe and world-wide is both successful and transparent.

Incorporated as a private limited liability company under Belgian law (socit prive responsabilit limite, s.p.r.l.), PRO EUROPE is headquartered in 1200 Brussels, Rue Martin V 40. The president is Bernard Hrodin (Eco-Emballages S.A.), its Managing Director is Joachim Quoden, and Angela Emons (DSD) and Pascal Gislais (Eco Emballages) act jointly as its Secretary General.
PRO EUROPE offers inter alia a forum for cooperation of the national organisations. Its functions are as follows: Based on uniform regulations, it grants the right to use the mark "Der Grne Punkt" (the "Green Dot") to nationally recognised systems set up by fillers, packaging producers and retailers to implement the European Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste dated December 20, 1994. It develops and checks criteria governing the award of the mark the "Green Dot" to manufacturers, distributors and fillers of packaging and/or packed products in agreement with the European Anti-Trust Commissions. With the cooperation of national collection and recovery systems, the "Green Dot" is to be made into a trade mark of European dimension. The partners of PRO EUROPE are committed to respecting the common meaning of the logo as follows: The mark the "Green Dot" on packaging means that, for such packaging, a financial contribution has been paid to a national packaging recovery company that has been set up in accordance with the principles defined in the European Directive No. 94/62 and its national law. Network of exchange of information and experience working groups: - Prevention - International marketing concepts - Technical matters - PRO EUROPE Congress + communication - System development - Lobbying An intensive exchange of opinions and experience between the collection and recovery systems is the first step towards the concrete implementation of the European Packaging Directive in each Member State. PRO EUROPE wants to support and promote this dialogue.

Legal basis Europes waste problems are still growing. After all, each inhabitant of the EU Member States produces between 250 and 620 kilograms of household waste per year. About 25 to 30 percent of this is packaging waste. The European Union reacted to the significant drop in landfill capacities and declining resources with the Packaging Directive which came into force on December 31, 1994: By the year 2001, all Member States had to introduce systems for the collection and recovery of packaging and to recover between 50 percent as a minimum and 65 percent as a maximum of the packaging waste (with the exception of Portugal, Greece and Ireland for which the date of compliance with the recovery targets has been postponed until 2005). It is up to the individual countries to decide how they wish to achieve the recovery and recycling targets set forth in the EU Packaging Directive 94/62/EC. Some countries created the legal basis for national implementation of the European Directive in 1996. Other countries had made a start before this. The prevention and recycling of packaging can only be realised all over Europe if the EU Member States work together. If manufacturers were forced to attach different national trade marks to the packaging, this would certainly obstruct the import/export trade. The "Packaging Recovery Organisation Europe s.p.r.l." (PRO EUROPE), which is domiciled in Brussels, was founded to avoid trade barriers like this from the very beginning. In the meantime European Parliament, the European Council and the European Commission agreed to a revision of the Packaging Directive which came into force on February 18, 2004 (2004/12/EC). In the following you can see an overview about the old and the new recovery and recycling quotas which all member states have to fulfil:

General Information The Spanish state has transposted the European Directive 94/62/EC into the Packaging and Packaging Waste Act 11/97. This law states that there are two options open to fillers, retailers, distributors and handlers of packaged products: a Deposit and Return System or join an Integrated Management System. ECOEMBALAJES ESPAA, S.A. (ECOEMBES) was founded by Spanish trade and industry in order to develop an Integrated Management System to implement this legislation, and already boasts 12.000 member companies and has signed agreements with 100 government authorities. The purpose of Ecoembes is to run systems created for selective collection of household packaging waste in order to carry out a subsequent treatment and
Revised / Date: 2007 Page N: 28 of 64
packaging waste recovery and, therefore, to minimize the impact of packaging waste and to make a better use of the materials. Organisation In anticipation of the Act and at the initiative of 57 companies and business associations, Ecoembalajes Espaa, S.A. (Ecoembes) was set up on the 22nd November, 1996. All the business sectors involved in recycling, packagers, retailers and distributors, producers of raw materials and recyclers are represented in the company. Ecoembes's decision-making bodies consist of Shareholders, the Board of Directors made up by 55 representatives, Delegated Commission, Auditing Commission, Management Commission and Technical Materials Commissions. The shareholders are made by 55% Packagers, 20% Retail and Distribution, 20% Raw Materials and 5% Recyclers. Ecoembes currently employees nearly 82 people. Facts & Figures

The number of materials, screws and closing devices is reduced to facilitate recycling. The resources used in the production of our models are environmentally friendly, guaranteeing the environmental quality in the air, ground and in the aquatic environment. With that goal we carry controls and periodic measures according to the law in force such as emissions recently measured checking that they are under the limits fixed in all the atmospheric emissions. There are no industrial wastes at all and dangerous residues are stored and delivered periodically to an authorised manager. In fact we are below the limit established by the law to be considered a small producer of dangerous residues Furthermore we have a system of environmental management to control and improve its environmental indicators. The lateral cuttings of plastic are 100% recycled and are refuelled in the productive process. There is also a minimising plan of the packages generated with the product, with aims of yearly reduction in the kg generated by unit in the market MICROWAVES The main reason why there are no labels in microwaves is that the microwaves is an appliance which saves energy for its own concept of operation. Since it is so quick in the preparation and heating of the foods it does not consume much energy although its power can be very high. The energy is the power multiplied by time and in the case of microwaves the time is very short and thus the energy is low. In the production of the microwaves we fulfil all the legal requirements regarding environment , above all regarding the new RoHS Directive which restricts 6 substances very dangerous. All the materials used in the microwaves are recyclable and can be reused at the end of their life. The microwaves are designed to facilitate its quartering at the end of life, making easier its reciclying. WASHING MACHINES AND DISHWASHERS We are in line with RohS directive and with all the European directives that can be applied to all our products.

Other daily advices: You have to fill the refrigerator leaving some space by the walls, that way is improved the inner circulation of air ( especially in No Frost refrigerators) Do not introduce hot foods, because they take cold away and impose an extra regime to the refrigerator, apart from contributing to the formation of ice in the walls. Foods must be placed tidy in the most suitable places for every conservation requirement (contrarily to what people think, the coldest area in the refrigerator is the lower part over the grocery drawers). The ideal temperature to keep foods oscillate between 3 and 5, below 3 C the consume increases uselessly. We also get good results keeping the temperature in the refrigerator between 3 C in the coldest compartment and 10 C in the hottest one.
Revised / Date: 2007 Page N: 49 of 64
It is advisable to adjust the thermostat in the intermediate position in such a way that cold is guaranteed but without cooling too much. The coldest positions apart from being useless for the good conservation of foods can increase the consume by 10-15%. When foods are frozen you have to use the coldest temperature but then you have to adjust the temperature of the freezer in the position of conservation. Take out of the refrigerator in advance the foods you have to heat (especially frozen foods) in such a way that temperature increases gradually in a natural way: that way less energy will be consumed to cool them uselessly and less also to heat them. Furthermore, a gradual process of change from one low temperature to a higher one is much more healthy. Close always well the door. It is important to take out or introduce the foods quickly, avoiding to have the door open for a long time. Opening the door of a freezer means in most of the cases make the compressor start again and subsequently consume more energy. The consumption can double if the doors open and close a lot of times especially if the refrigerator is empty. Defrost the products in the refrigerator. That way, the cold accumulated in the refrigerator is used to cool the others. Once installed the refrigerator again at home, wait at least 4 hours before connecting it, in order the refrigerant recuperates the right position. Do not introduce hot foods in the refrigerator or in the freezer. Avoid foods touch the wall at the back of the refrigerator. It avoids a good circulation of cold air. Try hard there is an adequate and continuous ventilation inside in order the foods do not damage. The bottles with sparkling drinks if they freeze can break. For an adequate conservation of foods, the freezer must be at -18 C.

CALCULATOR DISHWASHERS

An A class dishwasher consumes 257 kw/h yearly, 36% less than a D class one and 54% less than a G class one. Foreseeing a useful life of 10 years it would consume 3003 kw/h yearly less than a G class dishwasher, avoiding the emission to the atmosphere of 1261 kg Co2 and it would save 238 Euros. The rest of energy classes would imply an additional expense with respect to an A class dishwasher.

Energy efficiency begins at home with efficient appliances

March 2007

Business as usual is not sustainable
Potential of reducing CO2 emissions by 22 million tons per year
Significant improvements over the past 20+ years
The average washing machine today consumes 44% less energy and 62% less water compared to the average machine of 1985. Todays best refrigerator consumes only one fourth of a typical refrigerator from 1990.

This is the result of:

voluntary commitments energy labels competition
kWh/day kWh/year /year 1.100 1.82 0.46

Savings to make

This new refrigerator cost 25 to run for one year, or 375 over 15 years
The refrigerator from 1990 costs 100 /year to run that is 1500 over 15 years
And yet, despite all our efforts and despite the fact that the consumer can reduce electricity cost with ~75/year, transformation is not taking place.

A huge waste of energy

Product average life time is 13 years
50 year old appliances can still be found in use
Consumers see a value in old appliances as long as they still work. Running cost and environmental impact are disregarded or not known.
We are marketing more efficient appliances, but it is not enough to guarantee transformation
We call on governments to play a more active role to achieve the needed societal change
The Energy efficiency plan is a golden opportunity
to make Europe more energy efficient.
We call on governments to investigate market transformation instruments to complement traditional policies such as labelling and product efficiency.
With only labelling and efficiency measures, the real effect of CO2 reduction will come in approximately 10 years.
Why wait that long and cause unnecessary CO2 emissions in the meantime ?

Potential to reduce CO2 emissions with 22Mt/year
.by replacing the 188 million old inefficient appliances that are installed in the households, by current technologies.

6% of the Kyoto target

12 Thermo-electric power plants
Replacing 188 million outdated large appliances would provide savings of up to 44 TWh, which is eqivalent to 12 new u thermo- lectric e plants (of 500 MW each).
Policy for energy efficiency is not enough
In order to be successful, a policy for our sector must be based upon 3 elements:
1. Energy efficient technology
2. Mandatory energy labelling
3. Diffusion of state-of-the-art technology
The potential is not utilised with performance standards and labelling reqirements alone. u
Incentives schemes to promote early replacement are essential.

In summary

CECED manufacturers are committed to develop and deliver efficient appliances to consumers.
We expect that the authorities: deploy incentive schemes to promote the replacement of outdated appliances. sustain a fair return on investment which is the pre- ondition for any further investments. c
