Recently, a message for the Chinese household electrical appliance enterprises export business, the fight a bit big.

In recent years, some of the emerging markets of technical trade measures are in line with developed markets, for our home appliance export enterprises, is not good news. This means that future access to emerging markets may face more and more thresholds.

Of course, this threshold is not just the cost of certification fees back to drama. Behind may also be faced with product structure and design adjustments. So all the next household electrical appliance enterprises must take precautions, ahead of time to know in advance to deal with!

Two months ago, the Gulf seven countries (UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen) jointly issued the "GCC Low Voltage Electrical Equipment Technical Regulations", requiring compulsory certification of most of the white goods And small appliances, including air conditioning, washing machines, home refrigerators, fans and microwave ovens, including 13 varieties.

It is worth noting that the GCC (GCC) product certification is only valid for one year and needs to be reapplied after expiration. In this case, the annual cost of household electrical appliance enterprises will increase the number of times.

Guangdong Province from the export enterprises to see, in order to obtain such products GCC certification, the majority of corporate shipments pressure is not small. Data show that from January to June 2016, China's exports to the seven Gulf electrical products totaled about 70 billion US dollars, accounting for 12% of the total exports of the region. Gulf seven countries accounted for more than 70% of China's total exports of home appliances.

As a result of the application for GCC certification, at least three months in advance to apply for, and is responsible for the approval of the GCC standards for summer holidays for up to 3 months, so the household electrical appliance enterprises get together to apply for the phenomenon, many customer clearance affected.

According to the Zhongshan Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the average cost of each product certification over 20,000 yuan, the product model, export volume of small business burden is not small. Expected to complete the certification testing costs will grow about 30%. TCL air conditioning quality certification department director Liu Biqing said the company used to bid for the GCC certification costs more than 140 million, the future there are follow-up models to be applied, the cost will increase.

In addition, the new regulations on the technical requirements significantly improved. After the implementation of the new regulations, electrical products in addition to the technical regulations must meet the safety regulations listed in the project, but also must meet the EMC requirements of electromagnetic compatibility.

In order to meet the requirements, some companies or products will be redesigned, the replacement of circuit boards, components and even motor, which will significantly increase the cost of time and capital costs. Similarly, the cost of adjusting a set of product supply chains such as design and molds, replacement materials and even suppliers, and so on, may be several times the cost of certification testing.

Next, for household electrical appliance enterprises, not only for emerging countries, home appliances export business is not good for other countries, home appliances export business is getting harder and harder. Which is forcing more and more Chinese enterprises must accelerate the implementation of global management transformation, to promote the localization of manufacturing and marketing!
