Introduction to American DOE Certification (Power)
The US Federal Regulations (10 CFR 430) stipulate that all external power supplies entering the US market must meet the minimum 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 first is the Compliance Statement of the product meeting the energy efficiency requirements of federal regulations, and the second is the First Certification Report of the product, both of which must be sent by mail to the Department of Energy (DOE) in the United States. 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.
DOE Certification Criteria
The US Federal Regulations (10 CFR 429 and 10 CFR 430) stipulate that samples must be selected and reported according to certain norms, and that testing methods and compliance declaration norms must be followed.
