Understanding the New Energy Efficiency Standard
The revised industry energy efficiency certification takes effect. Here are the key changes and what they mean for manufacturers.
The revised industry energy efficiency certification took effect this quarter, changing rating tiers, test methods and labelling requirements.
Key Changes
Ratings expand from three tiers to five, standby power and part-load conditions are added to the test suite, and certificate validity shortens from five years to three.
What It Means
Models already on sale must be re-tested and relabelled within the transition window; newly filed models fall under the new standard immediately.
Our Position
Our full product range completed pre-certification testing last quarter, with flagship models reaching Tier 2 or above. Complete certification documents and technical support are available to customers.
