Core Viewpoint - The joint notice issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology marks a significant step in the implementation of the product carbon footprint labeling certification system in China, transitioning from policy framework to practical application [1] Group 1: Certification Details - The first batch of product carbon footprint labeling certification pilot includes 17 specific products such as lithium-ion batteries, photovoltaic modules, steel products, textile products, room air conditioners, computers, small power motors, tires, electrolytic aluminum, cement, engineered wood, and wooden flooring [1] - The release of this directory indicates a focused approach on specific products, which will be complemented by upcoming specialized certification implementation rules [1] Group 2: Implementation Framework - The initiative aims to establish a comprehensive product carbon footprint labeling certification scheme that covers the entire lifecycle of products [1] - The certification framework will provide enterprises and certification bodies with a practical, applicable, and verifiable implementation guide [1]

Core Viewpoint - The "Pilot Work Plan for Product Carbon Footprint Labeling Certification in Anhui Province" aims to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the lithium battery and photovoltaic industries by achieving specific carbon footprint certification goals by 2025 and 2027 [1][2]. Group 1: Goals and Timeline - By 2025, more than 10 lithium battery and photovoltaic products in Anhui Province are expected to obtain carbon footprint labeling certification [1]. - By 2027, over 50 lithium battery and photovoltaic products are targeted for certification, with the formation of more than 5 typical cases to reduce carbon emissions throughout their lifecycle [1]. Group 2: Key Tasks - The plan focuses on three core areas: technology, data, and application, deploying 7 key tasks [1][2]. Technology - Strengthening technical support and improving the carbon measurement traceability system to enhance carbon emission data quality [1]. - Developing national standards for carbon footprint accounting of lithium battery and photovoltaic products [1]. Data - Establishing a comprehensive "dual carbon" management platform in Anhui Province to enhance carbon emission data analysis and expand the carbon footprint database [1]. - Increasing investment in carbon footprint-related production inspection equipment and human resources to manage carbon footprints throughout the product lifecycle [1]. Application - Integrating product carbon footprint into green factory evaluations to encourage upstream and downstream enterprises to enhance carbon footprint management [2]. - Expanding pilot programs to guide enterprises in carbon footprint quantification and management, and promoting data sharing and mutual recognition of carbon footprint data [2].

Group 1 - The National Certification and Accreditation Administration has officially released the "General Implementation Rules for Product Carbon Footprint Label Certification (Trial)" marking a significant breakthrough in establishing a unified product carbon footprint certification system in China [1] - The newly published rules serve as an important technical document for conducting product carbon footprint label certification activities, clarifying the scope, certification model, process, label style, and management requirements [1] - The carbon footprint label features a green design with a "footprint" pattern to represent the carbon footprint concept, providing consumers with clear and accessible information on product carbon emissions [1] Group 2 - A pilot program for carbon footprint label certification is being conducted in 25 provinces, focusing on key products such as lithium batteries, photovoltaic products, electronic appliances, tires, electrolytic aluminum, and phosphate ammonium [2] - Shandong province is responsible for the pilot program for tire products, while Kunming city in Yunnan province is focusing on phosphate ammonium products, both working on research and policy development for the certification system [2] - The State Administration for Market Regulation plans to enhance collaboration and data sharing among relevant departments to support the steady advancement of pilot projects, aiming to create replicable and promotable experiences for the green transformation of the economy [2]
