Japan, Vietnam Cooperate in Energy Savings

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality (STAMEQ) and the Bureau of Accreditation (BOA) under the Ministry of Science and Technology signed an agreement to launch a project strengthening the system and operation of standard and conformity on energy saving and standardising energy labels in Vietnam in Hanoi.

 

The three-year project, expected to be launched this year, aims to support and enhance operational capability of the STAMEQ testing laboratories in testing energy saving for air conditioners and refrigerators.

 

In the framework of the project, Japan will transfer technology and advanced expertise for Vietnam in a bid to support the implementation of the National Target Programme on Energy Savings.
