Compliance Counts: A Practitioner’s Guidebook on Best Practice Monitoring, Verification, and Enforcement for Appliance Standards & Labeling
CLASP is pleased to announce the publication of Compliance Counts: A Practitioner’s Guidebook on Best Practice Monitoring, Verification, and Enforcement for Appliance Standards & Labeling. This Guidebook provides practical information on compliance frameworks based on the experiences of existing S&L programmes. It complements CLASP’s previous major publication A Standards & Labeling Guidebook for Appliances, Equipment and Lighting, and is designed as a manual for policy makers, programme administrators, and others involved in the design and implementation of S&L programmes worldwide.
Additionally, the Guidebook discusses the various approaches for maintaining compliance and describes the data, facilities, and institutional and human resources needed to support MV&E activities. It provides guidance on the issues to consider in the design and implementation of effective compliance regimes, and directs the reader to references and other relevant resources.
Finally, the guidebook demonstrates the importance of effective compliance regimes in safeguarding current and future energy and greenhouse gas emissions savings from S&L programmes. Government activity to improve compliance regimes ensures a level playing field for industry and to encourage greater levels of investment and innovation in energy efficient products.
