3. Project RequirementsThe declared green factory project should have been completed and put into operation, and have good energy-saving, water-saving, and comprehensive resource utilization effects. The energy efficiency level of key industry enterprises should reach the energy efficiency level released by relevant national departments, while other industry enterprises should reach the corresponding national energy consumption limit standard value or level 1.

4. management system：

• Enterprises should meet the requirements of GB/T 19001 Quality Management System, GB/T 28001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, GB/T 24001 Environmental Management System, and GB/T 23331 Energy Management System, and obtain third-party certification.

• Enterprises should establish a green factory management organization responsible for the system construction, implementation, assessment, and reward of green manufacturing, and establish a target responsibility system.

5. Planning and ImplementationEnterprises should have long-term plans and quantified annual goals and implementation plans for green factory construction, and regularly conduct education and training related to green factories.

6. Energy and resource investment：

• Enterprises should optimize their energy consumption structure, reduce energy input, use low-carbon and clean new energy while ensuring safety and quality, and replace other energy sources with renewable energy as much as possible.

• Enterprises should reduce the use of raw materials, especially harmful substances, evaluate and replace harmful substances and chemicals, and develop and implement green procurement policies to ensure that suppliers provide materials that meet environmental requirements.

7. product：

• Enterprises should introduce the concept of ecological design in product design, and the products produced should meet the requirements of relevant energy efficiency standards or reach the energy efficiency level of the top 20% in the industry.

• Enterprises should conduct carbon footprint inventory or verification of their products, and use the results to improve and disclose the carbon footprint of their products.

• The products produced by enterprises should reduce the use of harmful substances and meet the national requirements for restricting the use of harmful substances in products.

8. Environmental emissions：

• Enterprises should invest in appropriate pollutant treatment equipment to ensure that pollutant emissions meet relevant laws, regulations, and standards.

• The emissions of air pollutants, water pollutants, solid waste, and noise from enterprises should comply with relevant national and local standards.

2、 Application materials

1. Application FormIt should be stamped with the company seal and clearly state the reasons, goals, and measures for applying for a green factory.

2. Enterprise qualification documentsIncluding copies of the business license, organization code certificate (if applicable), and production license (if applicable) of the enterprise.

3. Documents related to project constructionCopy of factory construction approval documents, copy of "three simultaneities" acceptance documents, etc.

4. Quality and Safety Certification DocumentsCopy of CCC product certification certificate (if applicable), relevant management system certification certificate, etc.

5. Technical DocumentationIncluding factory floor plan and spatial layout, factory floor plan, metering equipment list, energy consuming equipment list, pollutant treatment equipment list, raw material list, etc.

6. Supply Chain Management DocumentsList of qualified suppliers and their evaluation forms, procurement approval documents, procedural documents, bidding documents, etc.

7. Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Documents：

• Environmental management system and its implementation, including operation records of environmental protection facilities, pollutant emission monitoring reports, etc.

• Energy efficiency test report, proving that the enterprise's energy efficiency level meets relevant standards.

• Energy efficiency comparative analysis report, showcasing the comparison between enterprises and energy efficiency.

8. Social Responsibility and Performance Indicators：

• Report on the fulfillment of social responsibility, including employee welfare, safety production, community service, and other aspects.

• Stakeholder commitments and evidence, such as suppliers, customers, etc. 'environmental commitments to the company.

• Calculation and explanation of performance indicators such as energy consumption and resource consumption, demonstrating the resource utilization efficiency of the enterprise.

• Explanation of energy-saving and environmental protection technologies that have been adopted.

3、 Declaration process

1. Policy understandingEnterprises first need to understand the national and local policies, standards, and application requirements for green factories.

2. self-assessmentCompared with the evaluation index system of green factories, enterprises should conduct a comprehensive evaluation of their infrastructure, management system, energy and resource investment, products, environmental emissions, and other aspects. This step usually takes 1-2 months to ensure that the enterprise can accurately identify its strengths and weaknesses.

3. data organizationAccording to the self-assessment results, the company needs to prepare relevant proof materials.

4. Submit an applicationSubmit the organized application materials to the local industry and information technology department or relevant acceptance agency. Before submission, enterprises should ensure the authenticity and completeness of the application materials to avoid affecting the application progress due to material issues.

5. preliminary reviewThe accepting institution conducts a preliminary review of the application materials to confirm whether they meet the basic requirements. Enterprises that pass the initial review will proceed to the next stage of evaluation.

6. On site evaluationQualified third-party evaluation agencies conduct on-site evaluations of enterprises. The evaluation content includes document review, on-site verification, and interview communication.

• document reviewVerify the management system documents, energy consumption data, environmental protection measures, etc. provided by the enterprise.

• on-site verificationConduct on-site inspections of the factory's production process, equipment, environmental protection facilities, resource utilization, etc.

• Interview and communicationConduct interviews with enterprise managers and employees to understand the actual situation of green factory construction.

7. Rating and ReportingThird party evaluation agencies score based on the evaluation index system and generate evaluation reports.

8. expert reviewIndustry experts review third-party evaluation reports and provide feedback. During the evaluation process, the focus will be on the green development level, technological innovation capability, and management system construction of the enterprise.

9. Result AnnouncementThe list of green factories that have passed the review will be publicly displayed on the websites of relevant departments and subject to social supervision. The public notice period is generally 7 working days. Enterprises that have no objections to the public announcement will be confirmed as green factories.

10. awardingEnterprises that pass the evaluation will be awarded the title of "Green Factory" and receive a certificate.

4、 Subsequent management

1. continuous improvementAfter obtaining the green factory certification, the enterprise should continue to promote green development, continuously improve and enhance the level of green manufacturing. Regularly conduct self-assessment on the creation of green factories and take timely measures to rectify existing problems.

2. dynamic managementGreen factories are required to regularly submit operational reports, undergo spot checks and reviews, and ensure continuous compliance with green factory standards.

In summary, applying for a green factory requires companies to meet a series of strict conditions, prepare sufficient application materials, and follow standardized procedures for application. By obtaining the green factory certification, enterprises can not only enhance their brand image and market competitiveness, but also make positive contributions to environmental protection and sustainable development.
