Barriers Removal to the cost-effective development of
energy Efficiency Standards and Labeling
BRESL Indonesia
Approach
Results
Over the past decade, Asia has had an average growth rate in
energy use of 3.7%, more than twice the global average of
1.6%. With the rapid economic growth in many countries in
the region, the demand for major appliances and equipment
is expected to keep increasing. Energy Efficiency Standards
and Labeling (ES&L) programmes and policies are an
effective way of improving energy efficiency and to reduce
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. ES&L programmes are also
among the most cost-effective types of policies to mitigate
global climate change.
Legal and regulatory framework
Since 2009, UNDP has worked in partnership with the
Directorate General for Electricity and Energy Utilization
(DGEEU) at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources
(MEMR) to create and implement a relevant policy framework
based on proven regional experiences to accelerate the
adoption of energy standards and labels. On a regional level,
six participating countries - Bangladesh, China (host
country), Indonesian, Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam -will
work together to reduce GHG
emission by an estimated 23.4
million metric tons (MMT) per year
by the end of the project in 2013.
The Global Environment Facility
has provided UNDP with US $
1,170,000 to which the Government
of Indonesia added US $ 2,909,900
to carry out the BRESL project.
Energy efficiency label
The project facilitates the harmonization of test procedures,
standards and labels among above-mentioned countries. To
achieve the removal of barriers to ES&L, the project is
comprised of five components, aiming to strengthen policy
making, provide capacity building and manufacturer
support, as well as enhance regional cooperation and assist
in the design of individual pilot projects. Seven home
appliances are targeted - air conditioners, ballasts, electric
fans, electric motors, refrigerators, compact fluorescent
lamps (CFL) and rice cookers.
UNDP promotes the establishment of a legal and regulatory
basis for removing from the market technologies that are less
energy efficient and produce more emissions, and the
adoption of high-efficiency technologies in the following
ways:
•
Regulation No.6/2011 on CFLs, which was issued by
MEMR and followed by a Technical Guideline which has
been signed and released by the Directorate General of
New Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation
(DGNREEC);
•
Two drafts of ministry regulation on refrigerator and air
conditioner labels were submitted to the DGNREEC and
will be the basis for creation of technical guidelines for
labels;
•
Drafts of energy performance tests on rice cookers and
electric fans were finalized and submitted to the DGNREEC,
to be enacted as the Indonesian Standard for Energy
Performance;
•
Testing protocol of electronic ballast was submitted to
DGNREEC to be evaluated and included as Technical
Guideline under ministerial regulation; and
•
Regional feasibility study on CFL conducted based on
Australian practices and updated for standard
harmonization of CFL energy performance.
Implementation of regulatory framework
UNDP has been working towards increasing the capacity of
institutions and individuals to secure on-the-ground
implementation of the regulatory framework:
•
Eight government officials participated in a study visit to
the Australian Ministry of Climate Change and Energy
Efficiency in Canberra to gain insight from successful
implementation of ES&L strategy;
•
BRESL Indonesia website provide a reliable source of
information related to ES&L programmes;
•
Seven government officials, two laborator y
practitioners and representatives from Electronics
Industry Association participated in a study visit to
Malaysia’s Utility Firm (TNB), EE regulators (Energy
commission, SEDA, KeTTHA), and Sirim Laboratory to gain
insight from successful implementation of rebate & feed-intariff, and to initiate Mutual Recognition Arrangement
report; and
•
19 representatives from home appliance and lighting
manufacturers have been trained on the quality norm
ISO 17025 to facilitate laboratory accreditation, in
partnership with the National Standardization Agency
(BSN).
preparation for ISO 9001 certification, aiming to identify
the barrier of the implementation of ES&L programme and
provide support to address the issues; and
•
The project and LIPI’s expert assisted one manufacture
testing laboratory on the implementation of norm ISO
17025. Accreditation is expected by the end of 2012.
Regional harmonization initiative
Harmonization and maximum impact can be achieved only if
ES&L measures are shared and agreed upon regionally:
The Regional Project Steering Committee (RPSC) is mandated
to strategize project activities. It convened for the last and
fourth time in March 2012 in Phuket, Thailand and developed
the BRESL 2012 working plan.
The Japan – UNDP Partnership Fund jointly developed an
integrated capacity assessment with BRESL. This joint effort
resulted in:
•
Conception of a training programme for laboratory
accreditation, agreed through a focus group discussion of
25 representatives from ES&L testing laboratories and
certification bodies. The programme covered six
appliances, and updated the knowledge of practitioners in
18 laboratories;
•
Training of four trainers from private manufacturers, state
companies and government laboratories conducted in
Atsugi, Japan – for energy efficiency testing of air
conditioners. As a result, Indonesian technicians are now
capable of conducting specialized benchmarks in their
respective laboratories at a lower cost; and
•
34 representatives from local manufacturers, testing
laboratories and certification bodies have been trained
in coordination with the Indonesian Institute of Sciences
(LIPI) and Electronics Industry Association (GABEL). The
expected result is to build capacity and to build a
common understanding in interpreting testing standards
and procedures.
Technical assistance to manufacturers and
retailers
Working at the national level, the project created and
conducted trainings on energy testing procedures for
refrigerators, rice cookers, electric fans and electronic ballast.
•
•
More than 50 local manufacturers and importers
participated in a series of workshops conducted by the
project. The expected result is to provide information and
to accelerate the implementation of the ES&L programme;
The project conducted plant visits to local ballast
manufacturers, which was followed up by facilitation of

We would like to recognize the many partners
who have contributed to the project outlined in
this publication, and thank the Global
Environment Facility (www.thegef.org) and the
Japan-UNDP Partnership Fund for their financial
contribution.
