Do you know the energy efficiency standards in California and the United States? Today, let's take a look at the differences between CEC and DOE, and see what contributions they have made in terms of energy conservation.
CEC is an abbreviation for the California Energy Commission, which establishes energy efficiency standards applicable to electrical appliances sold or offered for sale in California, with the aim of promoting the use of energy-saving and water-saving equipment.
After the standard is approved, CEC will notify stakeholders and manufacturers of the final electrical efficiency testing requirements, certification instructions, and procedures to comply with the standard.
To sell or offer for sale in California, electrical manufacturers who sell their products are responsible for testing them in CEC approved laboratories and obtaining third-party certification. After obtaining the certification, the manufacturer must submit its documents and data to CEC, which will be transmitted to the organization's online modern household appliance efficiency database system (MAEDBS). Unrecognized regulated electrical appliances cannot be legally sold or offered for sale in California.
DOE is the abbreviation of the United States Department of Energy, which has mandated a series of energy-saving standards for consumer goods, commercial and industrial equipment to ensure the efficient use of electrical equipment. Not only that, DOE has also issued corresponding implementation regulations that require products to comply with regulations in order to enter the US market.
Energy conservation can not only reduce the energy expenditure of households and businesses, but also reduce the impact of energy consumption on the environment, which is an issue that everyone should pay attention to.
