SEAD-funded APEC-CAST Project Proposal Solicitation Update 39 th Meeting of the APEC Expert Group on Energy Efficiency & Conservation 28 February 2012 Anna Lising Senior Associate Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP)

APEC-CAST Primary objectives: Promote harmonized test procedures Support development of aligned energy efficiency standards and labels (S&L) in APEC economies Fund one or more projects each year over a 5 year period.

Review of Proposal Solicitation Objective: Identify projects that can be launched in early 2012 and will advance S&L development in APEC economies. Collaboration between EGEE&C and SEAD: SEAD-funded APEC-CAST initiative Leverage technical expertise provided through the SEAD international technical collaborations Administrator: The Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP), as the SEAD Operating Agent.

Review of Proposal Solicitation Projects may include: Assessments of existing global standards, labels, and test methods; Assessments of global harmonization potential; Laboratory assessments via round robin testing; or Other activities as needed to best support S&L activities for APEC priority products.
