Supporting Services from Hong Kong
Productivity Council
As a major industry supporting organization,
HKPC has been active in the deployment of innovation, technology and best practices to support the community in the area of :
• Advanced manufacturing
• Information technology
• Environmental protection
• Business operation
Environmental Innovation
• On environmental protection, our missions focus on supporting the business and manufacturing sectors to achieve :
– Progression to low carbon economy
– Reduction of environmental pollution to meet regulatory requirements
– Effective utilization of resources and energy
– Compliance with emerging environmental requirements in international business and trade
– Development of environmental industry through environmental product innovation
Innovation and Technology
Development Strategies
1) Working closely with Government Departments such as
EPD, ITC and the industry to identify the needs
2) Early involvement of potential technology / business partners and potential users whenever possible
3) The technology should be able to be productized and pilot system be field tested and performance be verified
4) Mature technologies will be transferred to private sector under licensing agreement
Progression to Low
Carbon Economy
Low Carbon Technology
LED Office Lighting Box reduces 30-40% energy consumption then the traditional flourescent tube lighting
Development of an Idle-stop System to reduce motor vehicle emission
Development of an Electric Minibus for green transportation

Functions of New EMC Chamber
The new EMC Chamber is targeted to be completed in early 2011, and a) will be capable of serving as a new testing site for the following purposes:
• Radiated Emission - Measurements of radio disturbance field strength for frequency range from 1GHz to 18GHz (current chamber limited at 1GHz); and
• Radiated RF field immunity testing for frequency range from
80MHz to at least 6GHz (current chamber limited at 1GHz); b) can perform tests as according to the latest international requirements (e.g., EN55022, EN 61000-4-3, CISPR 25, ISO
11452-2, ETSI standards)
