Under the premise of ensuring data security, on the basis of practice, we will promote the establishment of a unified product carbon footprint identification certification system to form a typical experience with outstanding benefits and replicable promotion. In order to actively promote the QIQIANGFOODS chain of quality certification, help achieve carbon neutralization and promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development to provide good practices.

II. Pilot objects and conditions

(I) pilot objects

give priority to the urgent market demand, severe pressure on foreign trade, outstanding contribution to emission reduction, complete data collection, and obvious drive of industrial chain supply chain lithium battery photovoltaic products, steel, textiles, electronic appliances, tires, cement, electrolytic aluminum, urea, ammonium phosphate, wood products and other products.

(Ii) pilot conditions

1. The industrial scale or sales volume of the pilot products in the region is in the leading position in the domestic industry. The industrial chain is complete. The region or province can cover more than 85% of the whole industrial chain. Raw materials, transportation, production and processing, the total number of supporting enterprises such as distribution, recycling and disposal is more than 70, forming the domestic leading industrial chain advantage, having a good data base of product carbon footprint, and being able to provide relatively complete, accurate, reliable background data of product carbon footprint covering the whole industry chain.

2. The region where the pilot products are located has a good quality certification Foundation and carbon reduction potential, attaches great importance to the pilot work of product carbon footprint identification certification, has strong innovation motivation, and can promote the establishment of an overall and coordinated pilot work management mechanism, have strong policy support and financial fund guarantee.

III. Pilot tasks

the declaration and implementation of the pilot project shall be organized and carried out by the provincial market supervision departments together with the ecological environment, development and reform, industry and informatization departments at the same level. The pilot period shall be 3 years. The main tasks include:

(1) establish a working system. Establish and improve the pilot work mechanism of product carbon footprint identification certification, clarify the work objectives, main tasks, work measures, responsible units, schedule and other contents, and ensure that the pilot work is carried out in an orderly manner.

(2) improve data quality. According to the actual situation, reasonably determine the data collection methods and quality control measures, strengthen the application of carbon metering in the quantification of carbon footprint of products, improve the reliability and timeliness of data, guide enterprises to improve the measurement, monitoring and accounting capabilities of product carbon footprint data.

(3) ensure data security. Implement data security laws and regulations, improve the safety level of carbon footprint data of products, strengthen the external circulation management of carbon footprint data of products in key foreign trade industries, and ensure a sound and reliable data exchange environment.

(Iv) improve the management level. Improve the carbon footprint management ability of pilot enterprises, promote enterprises to mark the international and domestic advanced level, find weak links in production and circulation, strengthen energy conservation and carbon reduction management, drive upstream and downstream enterprises to strengthen carbon footprint management, promote the overall green and low-carbon transformation of the supply chain.

(5) strengthen quality control. Strengthen the tracking and guidance of certification activities and certified enterprises, ensure the effectiveness and credibility of certification, severely crack down on the behavior of carbon footprint identification of virtual standard products, information about administrative punishment shall be incorporated into the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System for publicity.

(7) sound effect evaluation. Based on the pilot situation of product carbon footprint identification certification, this paper explores scientific implementation effectiveness evaluation methods, and carries out comprehensive evaluation of pilot implementation effect in multiple dimensions around quality benefits, economic benefits, social benefits, ecological benefits, etc, refine and summarize the experience and practices in the pilot work to provide useful reference and reference for the follow-up work.

(8) enrich application scenarios. Plus-sized government procurement of products with low carbon footprint, orderly promote the promotion and application of carbon footprint logo in the field of consumer goods, and widely use various media to strengthen the publicity of carbon footprint logo of products, guide enterprises to actively display carbon labels of products and encourage consumers to purchase and use products with lower carbon footprints.

IV. Work arrangement

(1) pilot declaration. The willing provincial market supervision department shall, in conjunction with relevant departments, determine the pilot products according to the pilot conditions, and organize to fill in the "Application Form for the pilot certification of carbon footprint identification of products" and the pilot work plan (see attachment), submit the paper stamped application materials to the General Administration of market supervision (No. 9, Madian East Road, Haidian district, Beijing) before September 30, 2024, and send the scanned copy to the email address gyprzc@samr.gov.cn.
