Subsidy Standards and Related Requirements

Subsidy standard: Individual consumers who purchase products in the above categories will receive a subsidy of 15% of the final transaction price after deducting discounts from merchants at all stages. Each consumer may receive a subsidy for only one item per category, with a maximum subsidy of 1,500 yuan per item.

Product access requirements: Subsidized products must have a unified 13-digit national standard product code, must be Grade 1 in China's energy efficiency or water efficiency labeling, and must already be filed on the energy efficiency or water efficiency labeling website. Subsidized products must be assigned a unique serial number (SN code) for traceability control to prevent products from being resold or subsidies from being claimed repeatedly.

Application process: The subsidy application method and process shall follow Zhejiang Province's home appliance trade-in policy. Consumers can obtain smart home subsidy qualification through mini-programs such as "Zheli Huanxin" on platforms including UnionPay QuickPass.

Time limits: The product transaction invoice corresponding to the subsidy must be issued before December 31, 2026. Product logistics delivery, installation services, and submission of the complete set of verification materials must be completed before January 31, 2027.

Fund Allocation Rules

This smart home purchase subsidy fund shall be implemented under the principles of total special fund control and monthly coordinated arrangement. The subsidy quota for the current month follows a "first come, first served, until fully claimed" mechanism. Consumers who do not secure the current month's subsidy may continue to apply in subsequent months during the policy's duration, except when the total special fund is exhausted.

Other Matters

Market entities participating in the activity shall strictly comply with policy provisions, truthfully collect and report information related to subsidized products, strictly implement price filing management requirements, carry out the "one person, one category, one item" control requirement, and actively cooperate with regulatory authorities in verification. Relevant departments will establish a coordinated supervision mechanism, use big data technology to strengthen oversight of subsidy fund use and market business practices, severely crack down on illegal and non-compliant acts such as false declarations and fraudulent subsidy claims, and maintain a fair and orderly market environment. Platform enterprises and business entities are encouraged to simultaneously carry out supporting discount and benefit activities, stacking policy benefits to enhance consumers' sense of gain.
