Engaging APEC Economies in Smart Appliance Standards Development
This project led by Australia aimed to engage APEC economies in developing Smart Appliance Standards for air conditioners and other appliances. The project emphasized international standards processes and promoting harmonization of standards for smart appliances. A workshop was held in Seoul with over 40 delegates from 9 economies, including presentations from manufacturers like Electrolux, Daikin, and Panasonic. Outputs included an agenda, attendees list, and presentations. Participants called for various actions to facilitate information exchange, international standardization efforts, and harmonization of standards. The outcomes of the workshop are to be reported to the Energy Working Group.

APEC Project EWG 01 2011T Engagement by APEC economies in smart appliance standards for air conditioners led by Australia Department of Climate Change & Energy Efficiency February 2012
Aims of this project are to : engage APEC economies in the development of Smart Appliance Standards for Air Conditioners and Other Appliances with a particular emphasis on international standards processes; and promote international harmonisation of standards for smart appliances.
Workshop on smart appliance standards Two day workshop held in Seoul, 10 -11 November 2011, immediately after EGEE&C meeting 38 Over 40 delegates from 9 APEC economies Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, USA Mix of policy people, utilities, appliance manufacturers Presentations updating smart appliance standards developments in several economies Presentations from manufacturers Electrolux, Daikin, Panasonic (LG, Samsung also present)
Outputs Agenda, attendees list and presentations are at http://www.egeec.apec.org/www/egeec/webnews.php?Dom ainID=17&NewsID=223 Communiqu : draft agreed by delegates, final circulated later, no objections (but not yet posted on the site)
Participants called for following actions Establishment of a framework for continuing exchange of information about smart appliance developments within APEC. Such a framework should include manufacturers, electricity utilities and policy-makers. Participation by APEC economies in the smart appliance standardisation work of the IEC (especially TC59) and the ISO. Establishment of a framework for co-ordination of APEC views on standardisation matters relating to smart appliances being considered by IEC and ISO. Continuing efforts to develop international standards for smart appliances as a means of facilitating trade, while recognising that the needs and priorities of economies may differ. Continuing efforts to harmonise emerging national and regional standards for smart appliances For the chair of the EGEE&C to report on the outcomes of this workshop to the Energy Working Group and to co-ordinate the activities of the Expert Groups to deliver on the directions from the 2011 Leaders Declaration
Participants called for following actions To report the outcomes of the Workshop to the EGEE&C. To accept the proposal from the delegate of the USA to include the Workshop outcomes under the Smart Grids Element of the Energy Smart Communities Initiative (ESCI). To request the Australian delegate to investigate options for resourcing further work within APEC to support the development and harmonisation of international smart appliance standards.
Developments since IEC has established a Project Committee on smart grid standards (PC 118) Led by China National Committee First meeting was in Tianjin 8-9 February 2012 IEC Technical Committee 59 is setting up a Working Group on smart appliance standards Raises question of most effective role for APEC APEC only forum that has engaged manufacturers direct so far DCCEE now reconsidering international strategy
