Het eerste gedeelte van deze brochure bevat de Technische Voorschriften inzake Binneninstallaties (ook private installaties genoemd), die op het openbaar waterleidingnet aangesloten zijn. Ze volgen de principes van de norm NBN EN 1717 “Bescherming tegen verontreiniging van drinkwater in waterinstallaties en algemene eisen voor inrichtingen ter voorkoming van verontreiniging door terugstroming” en van de daarin opgesomde productnormen (1). Vanaf begin 2004 werden deze Technische Voorschriften volledig opgenomen in het reglementair kader van toepassing in het Vlaamse Gewest (www.aqua"anders.be). Systematische controles van de nieuwe installaties werden ingevoerd zodat enkel de goedgekeurde installaties aan het net gekoppeld mogen worden. Gelijkaardige maatregelen zijn ook, volgens speci!eke modaliteiten, van toepassing in de andere Gewesten. Het Reglement (blz. 18) als dusdanig wordt voorafgegaan door een rijkelijk geïllustreerde educatieve voordracht over de Technische Voorschriften. Deze vervangt geenzins het reglementaire gedeelte. De afgevaardigden van de waterleidingbedrijven en de experten van Belgaqua zijn steeds beschikbaar om de essentiële regels toe te lichten. De werkbladen voor installaties en toestellen voor niet-huishoudelijk gebruik (Deel III) zijn reeds voor een groot deel herwerkt volgens de principes van de NBN EN 1717.

Fisher & Paykel Appliances Holdings Limited
FISHER & PAYKEL APPLIANCES HOLDINGS LIMITED TARGET COMPANY STATEMENT — IN RELATION TO A TAKEOVER OFFER BY HAIER NEW ZEALAND INVESTMENT HOLDING COMPANY LIMITED — 4 OCTOBER 2012 For personal use only For personal use only COVER: PHASE 7 DISHDRAWER TM DISHWASHER FISHER & PAYKEL APPLIANCES HOLDINGS LIMITED TARGET COMPANY STATEMENT CHAIRMAN’S LETTER 03 TARGET COMPANY STATEMENT (TAKEOVERS CODE DISCLOSURES) 07 SCHEDULE 1 — 4 25 For personal use only APPENDIX: INDEPENDENT ADVISER’S REPORT 37 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER For personal use only CHAIRMAN’S LETTER P3 Dear Shareholder Haier New Zealand Investment Holding Company Limited (“Haier”) has offered $1.20 per share to buy your shares in Fisher & Paykel Appliances Holdings Limited (“FPA”) by means of a formal takeover offer (the Offer“ ”). •• INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS RECOMMEND DO NOT ACCEPT HAIER’S OFFER •• The independent directors of FPA (Dr Keith Turner, Mr Philip Lough, Ms Lynley Marshall and Mr Bill Roest) (the “Independent Directors”) unanimously recommend that shareholders do not accept the Offer from Haier. In making their recommendation, the Independent Directors have carefully considered a full range of expert advice available to them. Therefore you should take no action. The principal reasons for recommending that shareholders do not accept are: _ Having regard to a full range of expert advice now available to the Independent Directors (including the Independent Adviser’s valuation range of $1.28 to $1.57 per FPA Share), the Independent Directors consider that the Offer of $1.20 per FPA Share does not adequately reflect their view of the value of FPA based on their confidence in the strategic direction of the Company; and _ FPA is in a strong financial position and, as the Independent Adviser notes, FPA is at a “relatively early stage of implementation of the company’s comprehensive rebuilding strategy”. -

CECED Comments on ACER FG on Electricity Balancing
25 June 2012 CECED input to the Consultation on ACER’S Framework Guidelines on Electricity Balancing Smart Grids are considered one of the key investment areas for a sustainable future: they are a tool for optimising energy production and usage by exploiting flexibility in the supply and demand of electricity. On the demand side, household appliances count for about 30% of energy consumption in residential premises, therefore they are one of the best candidates to become “smart”, i.e. built to interact with Smart Grids. CECED1 represents the household appliance industry, a relevant partner in the development of Smart Grids in Europe. We believe that as more and more appliances become smart, a significant curtailment of consumption will be possible upon request at collective or individual level. It implies a contribution to grid balancing through implementation of Demand-Response programs. In short, if well managed, smart appliances can allow the consumer to play a significant role in controlling the demand side with minimum impact on his/her needs and habits in a properly designed smart grid. CECED is convinced that demand-side resources will play a major role in the stability and performance of future European energy networks if relevant decisions are taken with respect to system requirements. Such decisions will have significant implications, at political, technical, and economic levels for consumers and the development of demand side resources’ market in Europe. The rules for trading the provision of system balancing services, including power reserve rules, should allow for demand side response, while ensuring effective competition and benefit for customers. -

Joint Industry Letter on Ecodesign
Brussels, Monday, October 24, 2016 Dear President, Dear Vice-Presidents, Dear Commissioners, We understand that you will discuss in the coming weeks the future of the Ecodesign Framework. Our industry organisations, representing the heating, cooling, refrigeration, ventilation, household appliance and ICT & consumer electronics sectors, strongly support Ecodesign and Energy Labelling which, for several product groups, have proven very successful and contributed to the EU’s energy and climate goals by pushing and pulling the market towards more energy efficient products. However, to ensure that this success story continues, we would like to emphasize some key points which, in our view, require urgent attention: First, we urge you to publish without delay already voted Ecodesign measures, such as Lot 21 and omnibus Regulation on tolerances, at the very latest with the Winter Package. Indeed, the delay in publication in the Official Journal of already voted Ecodesign measures creates an unmanageable situation for industry, including SMEs, which invests considerable resources to improve the energy efficiency of products and needs legal certainty to re-design them and comply with the new requirements. Second, complement the current Ecodesign and Energy Labelling policies with measures to support the market uptake of efficient products. For example, raise consumer awareness about the benefits of energy efficiency and help them make investments; in the EPBD revision, promote inspections of installed appliances which can lead to planned replacements. Finally, Ecodesign measures have been effective because they have regulated measurable, verifiable parameters of the whole system, such as the energy consumption in use on the basis of a clear and transparent methodology. -
Download the 2013 Top 100 Report
COVER STORY | BY ALI ACKERMAN & ALARICE PADILLA Consumer confidence was a bit manic in 2012, hitting a five-year high in November and then dropping again in December as consumers doubted an end to the fiscal cliff, according toThe University of Mich- igan Consumer Sentiment Index. This uncertainty plays out in the results of CGT’s annual list of the top- performing public consumer goods companies. The vertical lists across 10 categories show a mixture of bright and dark spots — proving that some companies did a great job of capturing the consumer when and TOP where they could while others missed opportunities. Here is a breakdown of the rules and guidelines that we use to determine the players in each category: Company Rank: 2012 annual revenue or the equivalent is used to determine each company’s placement on the Top 100 list and on each vertical list. All financial information was sourced from annual reports and press releases. Revenue for each company is reported in millions of U.S. dollars ($M). If a company reported revenue in a currency other than U.S. dollars, and did not provide the U.S. dollar equivalent in its annual report, then the figure was subject to live exchange rates at press time (between November 8-14, 2013). Year-over-year gains and losses are reported based on information from the aforementioned sources. The company with the greatest sales gains per category is identified as the “Growth Leader”. Company Inclusion: Because revenue for most private companies is not readily available, the lists only in- clude publicly traded companies. -
Consultation
CONSULTATION Date: 26/10/2017 One-month consultation on two new CECED draft Code of Conducts on marking of appliances for end-of-life treatment Brussels, October 26th, 2017 CECED, representing the home appliance industry in Europe, launches today a one-month consultation on its new draft Code of Conducts on marking appliances for end-of-life. These Codes of Conduct are launched in the context of the circular economy, regular bilateral discussions between producers and recyclers over the last years, and producers’ obligations under the WEEE Directive Article 15 to provide treatment facilities with information necessary to ensure sound treatment of WEEE. With this voluntary action, CECED members are committed to show the home appliance industry’s proactivity on end-of-life and resource efficiency. CECED members have been working on developing two code of conducts to ease the identification at end-of-life of certain types of appliances to support treatment facilities and recyclers in sorting appliances for sound collection and treatment at the end-of-life. This will facilitate safer and environmentally sound treatment of these types of appliances. With this initiative, CECED members aspire to contribute to improving WEEE treatment by encouraging the ongoing productive dialogue with recyclers, providing them with useful information and indications on the future needs of recycling technologies, while sending a positive signal to the market. What is the scope of each draft Code of Conduct? Household refrigerating appliances containing vacuum insulation panels & heat pump tumble dryers, washer dryers, washing machines and dishwashers containing F-Gases. What is the content of the two draft Code of Conducts? The draft code of conducts will provide a set of guidelines on a common marking for each type of appliances under the scope of the Codes. -
