The primary objectives of ESIS are the following:
- provide up-to-date information about appliance and equipment energy standards and regulations;
- provide links to experts and information related to standards and regulations being used by APEC and other economies;
- provide a regular newsletter with news updates and a listing of new and proposed standards in the region (APEC Standards Notification Procedure);
- provide a user-friendly way for Key Contacts in APEC economies to review the listing of standards for their economies so that they can be updated systematically, and on a regular basis;
- provide "Communities of Practice" for experts and officials to discuss efforts to harmonise and rationalise the testing, labeling, and minimum energy standards for specific appliances and equipment.
The APEC ESIS Project Team
The APEC ESIS project is chaired by New Zealand and is managed by a Steering Committee made up of contributing economies and organizations. The team includes energy experts and officials from Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Thailand, and the United States. The APEC ESIS project team reports to the APEC Expert Group on Energy Efficiency & Conservation (EGEE&C).

Sood Ratanadilok Na Phuket (1973 -2002),
The APEC-ESIS web site project was originally initiated by Sood R. Na Phuket in late 2001, under contract to the APEC Secretariat. In January 2002, Sood died unexpectedly and tragically at the age of 29 in New Zealand. Sood was an energetic and extroverted individual who excelled at work while still maintaining friendships and trying to get the most out of his personal life. After getting bachelor and masters degrees in engineering from universities in the U.S., Sood worked as a project manager on energy standards and labeling for the International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC) in Bangkok. Sood left IIEC in late 2000 to pursue a Masters in Business Administration in Bangkok. Having just completed his MBA, he was pursuing contracts in energy consulting and had just initiated the APEC-ESIS web site when he passed away in January 2001. The APEC-ESIS Project Team has dedicated the web site to Sood's memory. You can visit Sood's memorial web site at http://www.siamweb.org/~sood/.
