The China Energy Label (CEL; zh, 中国能效标识, p=zhōngguó néngxiào biāozhì, s=中国能效标识) is an energy consumption label for products in China, similar to the European Union energy label
EU Directive 92/75/EC (1992) established an energy consumption labelling scheme. The directive was implemented by several other directives thus most white goods, light bulb packaging and cars must have an EU Energy Label clearly displayed when o ...

are obligated to attach a CEL label to their goods to inform China-based consumers of the product's energy efficiency Energy efficiency may refer to:
* Energy efficiency (physics), the ratio between the useful output and input of an energy conversion process
** Electrical efficiency, useful power output per electrical power consumed
** Mechanical efficiency, a rat ...
. The label includes the product's energy efficiency class (1–5) as well as information regarding its energy consumption.
Targets
The CEL shows the level ofenergy consumption
Energy consumption is the amount of energy used.
Biology
In the body, energy consumption is part of energy homeostasis. It derived from food energy. Energy consumption in the body is a product of the basal metabolic rate and the physical acti ...
and, thus, the energy efficiency of a product. The CEL aims to encourage customers to buy energy efficient products. The target to increase energy efficiency and the acceptance of Chinese consumers towards energy efficient products is highly important, since China is the world's largest energy consumer.
Responsible authority
Applications are to be filed at the China Energy Label Center (CELC), which is the main authority for CEL-classification.Products requiring CEL
Since the introduction of China Energy Label in 2005, more than 25 product groups have become CEL-mandatory, while additional classes are continually being added to the product catalogue. For every product that requires CEL, a GB-Standard has been implemented. Among the CEL mandatory products are: * Motors * Gas kettles * Photocopiers * Water kettles * Refrigerators * Air compressors * Air conditioners * Washing machines * Flat-screen televisions * Fluorescent tubeSee also
