市场监管总局批准发布 《家用电器产品再生材料使用规范》国家标准

Core Viewpoint - The National Standard for the Use of Recycled Materials in Household Appliances (GB/T 46730—2025) has been approved and will be implemented on May 1, 2026, aiming to promote green and low-carbon development in the industry through standardized application of recycled materials [1][2]. Group 1: Material Selection and Environmental Impact - The standard emphasizes that recycled materials must meet the design and usage requirements of household appliances, with key components needing verification tests to ensure reliability equivalent to virgin materials. It prioritizes the use of widely sourced, easily recyclable, and environmentally friendly recycled materials to minimize negative environmental impacts [1]. Group 2: Quality Control and Traceability Mechanism - A collaborative traceability mechanism is required among appliance manufacturers, component producers, and recycled material suppliers. This includes detailed record-keeping of procurement, production, inspection reports, and sales documents, which must be retained for at least five years to ensure the traceability of recycled materials throughout the entire process [1]. Group 3: Usage Rate Calculation and Classification - The standard standardizes the calculation method for the usage rate of recycled materials in household appliances, allowing for comparability across different companies and products. It introduces dual indicators of "post-consumer recycled material usage rate" and "post-consumer recycled plastic usage rate" for classification into three levels: A, A+, and A++, facilitating a scientific approach to guiding the industry's green transition [2].
