Arnold
Alderman is Invited by EPA to be a Working Member of Test Procedure
Harmonization Project
June 10, 2007 - Los
Angeles - The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has invited
Arnold Alderman, President of Anagenesis, Inc., to serve as a key US
participant on the Test Procedure Harmonization project under the
Buildings and Appliances Task Force (BATF) of the Asia-Pacific
Partnership (APP) on Clean Development and Climate. The APP has been
established as a voluntary, non-legally binding framework for
international cooperation between the US, Australia, Japan, India,
Korea, and China.
The Test Procedure Harmonization project
has been identified as an important iniative under the APP BATF because
all participating countries have test procedures, efficiency standards,
and labeling (mandatory and/or voluntary) schemes for a wide variety of
products. In the majority of cases, however, these test procedures
and associated performance levels are different in each region,
resulting in a worldwide patchwork of performance requirements and
criteria with which manufacturers must comply in any given market.
Mr. Alderman pointed out, "This effort is very important and
addresses the entreaty for standards harmonization included in the
efficiency position letter from the Power Sources Manufacturers
Association (PSMA) that I helped draft in 2005. I am very pleased to
have this opportunity to assist with this very important
work.
The Steering Committee for the Buildings
and Appliances Task Force has identified four (4) priority product areas
which include: lighting, HVAC/refrigeration, electronics, and
motors. For each of these product areas, a core Work Group is
being established with 2 or 3 important stakeholders from each
participating country of the APP. Mr. Alderman will be a member of the
Electronics Work Group.
