DOE Energy Efficiency Certification

The US Federal Regulations (10 CFR430) specify that all external power supplies entering the US market must meet the low energy efficiency level of Level IV and be clearly labeled 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 second document is the first certification report of the product, which must be sent by mail to the US Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Energy)。

The document preparation needs to be filled out in accordance with the format published by DOE, and the certificate report can be submitted by a third-party unit on behalf of the manufacturer/brand. The information reported on the document should cover the product class, manufacturer/brand name, performance (%), no-load power consumption (W), and rated output power (W) of each individual model.
