    Gree publicly reports AUX air conditioners for false energy-efficiency labels; AUX receives maximum fine

    In June 2019, Gree Electric publicly reported under its real name that eight AUX air-conditioner models failed to meet national standards on energy-efficiency ratio, cooling capacity, etc., triggering a public battle between the two air-conditioning giants. After investigation by the Ningbo Market Supervision Administration, AUX model KFR-35GW/ZC+2 was labeled Grade 2 energy efficiency with an energy-efficiency ratio of 3.59, but measured only Grade 3 with a ratio of 3.21, constituting false labeling of energy-efficiency information. Impact and handling: in April 2020 it was ordered to rectify and fined RMB 100,000 at the maximum; AUX compensated consumers RMB 1,000 per unit for about 4,000 units in the problematic batch. The incident was mentioned again by media when it sought a Hong Kong IPO in 2025. Status: administrative penalty. Entity involved: 奥克斯熨斗.
