DOE Announces Tougher Enforcement of Appliance Standards Reporting Requirements

refrigerator


The Department of Energy announced this week that manufacturers of certain residential products have a 30 day window ending January 8, 2010 to submit accurate certification reports and compliance statements as part of enhanced enforcement of DOE’s energy efficiency appliance standards program.  Under federal law, manufacturers of some products covered by DOE appliance standards are required to certify with the Department that their models meet the energy conservation standards. This 30 day period will help DOE ensure compliance with its regulations, sanction those who fail to comply, and treat all those subject to the requirements fairly and equally.

Following this 30 day window, DOE will begin aggressively enforcing these reporting requirements, including seeking civil penalties or fines.  This 30 day period does not apply to violations of the actual energy conservation standards.  DOE will continue to take action against any manufacturer whose products do not meet the federal efficiency standards.

Both manufacturers and companies that trademark or label products are subject to the reporting requirements.  These requirements include a certification report for each basic appliance model covered by the energy standards, along with a signed compliance statement.

Some of the Residential products included are:

Battery Chargers & External Power Supplies
Ceiling Fans & Ceiling Fan Light Kits
