| Description |
The Barrier Removal to the Cost-Effective Development and Implementation of Energy Efficiency Standards and Labeling (BRESL) project is an international co-operation project, which is sponsored by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
The BRESL project is aimed at rapidly accelerating the adoption and implementation of energy standards and labels (ES&L) program in Asia, The project also facilitates harmonization of test procedures, standards and labels among developing countries in Asia, when appropriate. BRESL will facilitate the transformation of the manufacture and sale of energy-efficient appliances and equipment through: - A regional initiative in Asia. The project will focus on regional ES&L program cooperation and harmonization with provision for general information, tools and training to all interested developing countries in the region.
- National technical assistance to 6 developing countries in Asia. The project will focus on capacity building and assisting government, manufacturer, distributor, retailor, consumer and relevant stakeholders throughout the Asian region to implement the most cost-effective ES&L program. In each participating country, priority activities will be carried out to help foster each country's preferred process for developing or expanding its ES&L program.² Participating Countries: Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand & Vietnam.
- Target Products: Refrigerators, Room air conditioners, Electric motors, Ballasts for FTLs, Electric fans, Compact fluorescent lamps and Rice cookers.
- Implementation: China is the Host Country. China National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is the Executing Agency and China Standard Certification Center (CSC) is the Designated Implementing Agency.
- Duration: BRESL is a 5 years project with GEF US$7.8M funding.
The BRESL project consists of two levels activities: (i) enhancing the regional cooperation/ multi-recognize and sharing the best practices of energy efficiency standard and labeling (EESL), and (ii) developing and implementing country-specific strategies and activities for energy efficiency standard and labeling (EESL) to overcome the barriers of reducing the energy consumption within each national context. | Duties and Responsibilities | Tasks and Responsibilities: - Provide technical and administrative support in the implementation of all project activities
