1. What is DOE energy efficiency
The United States Federal Regulations (10 CFR 430) have clearly stipulated that all external power supplies entering the US market should reach the minimum energy efficiency level: level IV and clearly marked on the product. Not only that, but it is also mandatory for manufacturers and brand owners to submit two important declaration documents to DOE. The first is the Compliance Statement that the product meets the energy efficiency requirements of federal regulations, and the second is the First Certification Report of the product. Both documents must be sent to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) by mail. , Department of Energy).
The document preparation should be completed in accordance with the format published by the DOE. The certificate report can be submitted by a third-party unit on behalf of the manufacturer/brand. The information reported in the document should cover the product class, manufacturer/brand name, performance (%), power consumption (W) and rated output power (W) of each single model.
2. DOE standard basis:
US Code of Federal Regulations: 10CFR429 and 10CFR430.
10CFR429 stipulates the sample selection specification and report specification;
10CFR430 specifies the test method and compliance declaration specification
DOE is a requirement of the U.S. Department of Energy. There is no certification mark, but it must meet the minimum requirements of the Department of Energy when sold to the U.S. Therefore, it is necessary to apply for a DOE.
U.S. DOE Energy Efficiency
3. What information does the U.S. DOE need to prepare:
1. 2-3 samples
2. Product technical documents
3. Product nameplate
4. Certification application form
Fourth, the U.S. DOE cycle:
There is no problem with the test product, if the registration is approved, it will be about 2-3 weeks, special circumstances will be dealt with
Energy efficiency CEC registration
5. Do you need to register for DOE energy efficiency, what are the requirements and cycle?
Answer: Registration is required, and at the same time, the customer needs to provide an American importer and authorize our company to submit data. The cycle is 3-4 weeks (calculated from the submission of data, excluding the time spent on testing and authorization).
6. What is the difference between DOE energy efficiency and CEC energy efficiency?
Answer: Different regions have different criteria for determining the results. California CEC must meet the energy requirements for charging energy (CEC-400-2017-002: (W)), while the United States DOE requires the unit energy consumption of the product (EERE-2008-BT-STD-0005-0256), but because The test method is the same, and the test data can be shared.
