The current Act is operating the efficiency management machinery, equipment, or materials system, average energy efficiency system, and high-efficiency energy machinery, equipment, and materials system, and other systems to increase the rational and efficient use of energy.
However, since the level of sanctions on the failures in fulfilling various obligations of each system is low and there is no post-management regulation for the products in circulation whose certification of high-efficiency energy machinery, equipment, and materials is canceled, it is pointed out that the effectiveness of the systems is not secured.
Therefore, this amendment aims to strengthen or newly insert penalties and administrative fines for efficiency management machinery, equipment, or materials and to provide post-management regulations with respect to canceling the certification of high-efficiency energy machinery, equipment, and materials.

Details

A. Manufacturers or importers who receive the certification of high-efficiency energy machinery, equipment, and materials shall remove the certification mark of products that are displayed, stored or transported for sale if the authorization is canceled or suspended, and any person who violates this shall be punished a fine not exceeding 5 million won (Article 23 (3) and Article 76, subparagraph 9 newly inserted).
B. Raise the statutory punishment for any person who fails to report the measurement results of the quantity of energy consumed by efficiency management machinery, equipment, or materials from the current fine not exceeding 5 million won to the new fine not exceeding 10 million won (Article 75, subparagraph 1 and Article 76, subparagraph 2)
C. Raise the sanction for any person who fails to indicate the energy efficiency rating or energy efficiency in the relevant efficiency management machinery, equipment, or materials, or gives a false indication from the current administrative fine not exceeding 20 million won to the new fine not exceeding 5 million won (Article 76, subparagraph 1-2 and Article 78 (1) 1)
D. Any person who fails to comply with an order for correction without justifiable cause shall be subject to a fine not exceeding 5 million won (Article 76, subparagraph 3-2 newly inserted).
E. Raise the administrative fine for any person who fails to submit data concerning sales, which are recognized to be necessary for computing energy efficiency, and data concerning the measurement of efficiency, or with false cause from not exceeding 3 million won to not exceeding 20 million won (Article 78 (1) 1-2 and (4) 7)
