The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (December 6) removed a refrigerating appliance from the record of listed models under the Energy Efficiency (Labelling of Products) Ordinance as it failed to reach the energy efficiency and performance characteristics submitted to the EMSD. Supply of the refrigerating appliance concerned is no longer allowed in Hong Kong with immediate effect. Details of the refrigerating appliance are as follows:
 
Brand: Panasonic
Model: SCR-S66(EX)-BF
Reference number: U1-R170041
 
     The EMSD administers the Mandatory Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme in accordance with the Ordinance and selects samples of listed models regularly for conducting compliance monitoring tests to check whether they conform with the energy efficiency and performance characteristics submitted to the EMSD. As the test result of the refrigerating appliance concerned showed that the storage temperature of the freezer compartment did not reach the performance characteristics submitted, the EMSD has decided to remove the refrigerating appliance from the record of listed models.
 
     The EMSD has served a notice under the Ordinance to the importer concerned (Shun Hing Technology Co Ltd). The importer has published a newspaper notice today announcing the termination of supply of the refrigerating appliance concerned.
 
     Members of the public can contact the importer at 2313 0666 or email shtec@panasonic.oa.hk for enquiries.
