On November 18, the “Heater Industry Overseas Expansion and Product Export Compliance Seminar,” jointly organized by the Shunde Gas Appliance Chamber of Commerce and CSA Group, was successfully held at Shunde Huaguiyuan. The event attracted over 70 representatives from heater manufacturing enterprises, international certification bodies, and industry experts. Focusing on technical regulations and certification requirements in key markets such as North America, Europe, and Australia, the seminar facilitated in-depth discussions on core issues related to product compliance enhancement and international market expansion. This provided professional support to help Chinese heater manufacturers strengthen their global competitiveness.

Focusing on New Market Access Regulations and Discussing Compliant DevelopmentAmid evolving global trade environments and updating technical standards, major markets such as Europe, North America, and Australia have continuously revised certification and regulatory requirements for water heaters. Notably, the U.S. Department of Energy’s new energy efficiency regulations for gas water heaters came into effect in March this year, while amendments to Canada’s Energy Efficiency Regulations will be officially implemented in October 2025. These regulatory adjustments impose higher demands on domestic water heater exporters. Timely understanding and adapting to target market access rules have become a core prerequisite for companies expanding overseas.
