1 Items and Evaluation Criteria Electric refrigerators Electric freezers Electric refrigerator- freezers Evaluation Criteria 1 Energy consumption rate does not exceed the result, rounded down to eliminate decimals, of the standard energy consumption rate calculated using the formula for each category listed in Table multiplied by 100165. 2 Substances that harm the ozone layer is not used as refrigerant or expanding agent for insulation. 3 Hydro-fluorocarbon so-called CFC alternative is not used as refrigerant or expanding agent for insulation. 4 Content information of specific chemical substances lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium VI compound, PBB, PBDE can be easily obtained on websites and labels. Factors for Consideration 1 Refrigerant and expanding agent for insulation with a global warming potential that is as low as possible. 2 The item is designed with consideration for long-term use and conservation of resources. It should be designed so that it can be easily dismantled and its materials separated to facilitate refurbishment and reuse, based on the evaluation criteria of the Law to Promote Effective Use of Resources. 3 The item is made of as large amount of recycled plastic as possible if plastic components are used. 4 Organic solvent or paint with as low odor as possible is used as coating. 5 Packaging and stowage is to be as simple as possible and take into account ease of recycling and reduced environmental impact upon disposal. 6 A system for the collection and reuserecycling of packaging, etc. is considered. Note: 1. Electric refrigerators, electric freezers, and electric refrigerator-freezers that meet any of the following criteria will not be considered as Electric refrigerators, Electric freezers, or Electric refrigerator-freezers under consideration in the evaluation criteria of this section. a. Those that use thermo-element. b. Those that were manufactured for professional use. c. Those that use an absorber. 2. Labeling of content information of specific chemical substances will be indicated in accordance with JIS C 0950:2008 The marking for presence of the specific chemical substances for electrical and electronic equipment. Item 4 in Evaluation Criteria does not apply to Electric freezers. 3. Recycled plastic denotes part or all of plastic once used as a part of a useful product that has been discarded, remnants discarded during the manufacturing process, or the recyclereuse of defective articles This excludes, however, plastic that has been 92 recycled in the process of manufacturing the product. 4. In order to manage chemical substances adequately, each procurement organization is to manage and maintain content information of specific chemical substances until the machine is discarded. 5. Evaluation Criteria 1 will be assumed as follows. a. As for Refrigerators with a rated internal volume is up to 250 93 storage area aside from the freezer room, and round the decimals up if five or more and down if four or less. unit: L V2: Adjusted internal volume to the standard internal volume of the freezer, multiply 2.20 for three-star type freezer, 1.87 for two-star type freezer, and 1.54 for one-star type freezer, and round the decimals up if five or more and down if four or less. unit: L 2. Energy consumption efficiency for Electric Refrigerators and Electric Refrigerator-freezers is calculated according to “3 Energy Consumption Efficiency M easurement Types 2,” in M inistry of Economy, Trade and Industry notification No.34 M arch 1, 2013, based on the Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy. 3. Energy consumption efficiency for Electric Freezers is calculated according to “3 Energy Consumption Efficiency M easurement Types 2,” in M inistry of Economy, Trade and Industry notification No.35 M arch 1, 2013, based on the Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy. 2 Target Setting Guideline Ratio of the number of refrigerators, etc. refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers meeting the criteria to the total number of refrigerators, etc. to be purchased including leaserental agreements in the fiscal year. 94 7-2. Television Receivers 1 Items and Evaluation Criteria Television Receivers Evaluation Criteria 1For television receivers that employ cathode-ray tube referred to as cathode-ray tube television hereinafter, energy consumption rate does not exceed the result, rounded down to eliminate decimals, of the standard energy consumption rate calculated using the formula for each category listed in Table 1 multiplied by 100118. 2For television receivers that employ liquid crystal panel referred to as liquid crystal television hereinafter, and that employ plasma display panel referred to as plasma television hereinafter, energy consumption rate does not exceed the result, rounded down to eliminate decimals, of the standard energy consumption rate calculated using the formula for each category listed in Table 2 multiplied by 100128. 3Content information of specific chemical substances lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium VI compound, PBB, PBDE can be easily obtained on websites and labels. Factors for Consideration 1Design consideration takes into account product life, efficient use of material, reuse of parts, or recycling of raw material, in compliance with evaluation criteria for Standards for the Promotion of Efficient Use of M aterial. 2The item uses as large amount of recycled plastic as possible if plastic components are used. 3Packaging and stowage is to be as simple as possible and take into account ease of recycling and reduced environmental impact upon disposal. 4A system for collection and reuserecycling of packaging, etc. is considered. Note: 1. Those products that satisfy one of the below criteria is not included in Television receivers under consideration: 1 Those manufactured for use by the industry. 2 Cathode-ray tube style that can respond to multi-scanning, whose horizontal frequency exceeds 33.8 kilo hertz. 3 Those manufactured for use by tourists from abroad. 4 Rear projection style products. 5 The size of the receiver is 10V or less. 6 Wireless products. 7 Display for electronic calculators that are capable of receiving television. 2. Labeling of content information for specific chemicals is to comply to method outlined in JIS C 0950:2008 method for labeling content information of specific chemicals in 95 electric and electronic machinery.
