5. Procedure to remove product model names from the Web site (1) 1. Listing of the target models ECCJ makes a list of models that have been on the Web site for more than four years and presents it to the industry associations and non-member registered companies. 2. Distribution of the list The industry associations distribute the list to the respective member companies. 3. Selection of specific models to be removed Each registered company checks the list and selects the specific models to be removed, and reports to the industry associations. ＥＣＣＪ　

6. Procedure to remove product model names from the Web site (2) 4. Submission of the model names to be removed The industry associations collect the lists from respective member companies and submit them to ECCJ. (Non-member companies submit them directly to ECCJ.) 5. Removal of models from the Web site ECCJ removes the models from the Web site, not from its original database, in accordance with the submitted list. 6. Recounting of the official number of registered models The official number of the models that ECCJ announces to the public is the number of the models listed on the Web site. The removed models from the Web site are no longer counted. ＥＣＣＪ

12. Overview of Energy-saving Labeling Program • Under the current “Energy Efficiency Law” in Japan, manufacturers are obligated to display the information of a product, such as product name, model name, energy efficiency rate, and power consumption for the designated products. • The objective is to help consumers readily compare and choose energy efficient products when purchasing. “Energy-saving Labeling Program,” which has been implemented since August in 2000, serves as a complement to the obligation under the Law. • It is introduced as a tool for consumers to actually make a relative comparison of the energy efficiency of the products. • This program has covered only home electronic appliances. • Electric appliances for business use are not covered, because, in most companies, a purchasing administration department whose staffs have expertise in energy efficiency is assigned to choose and purchase energy efficient products. • Currently, “Energy–saving Labeling Program” is promoted as a voluntary program based on JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards). • Japanese government will consider expanding Top Runner program in accordance with additional product items.
