In April 14th, 2010, EPA and The Department of Energy (DOE) jointly announced the adjustment of certification process for “ENERGY STAR” products, to ensure that only the product conformed to requirements could obtain the label of “ENERGY STAR”. During the process of adjustment, the terms taken effect immediately is as following: Manufactures are required to render complete test report and evaluation report, and the product of which should be approved by EPA, provided that manufactures want to obtain the label of “ENERGY STAR”. The product would not be able to obtain the certification mark of “ENERGY STAR” before approval by EPA.
