CECIntroduction to energy efficiency testing
CECCalifornia Energy Commission(California Energy Commis-sion's)abbreviation,Its responsibility is to make the energy market develop in the direction of healthy competition.。The organization starts from1976California electrical appliance energy efficiency regulations implemented in(Appliance Efficiency Regul-ation),is the only country in the United States that can influence non-governmental consumption Mandatory energy saving regulations on consumption behavior,Played an important role in reducing energy consumption。
This regulation stipulates,Electrical products must first meet equipment energy efficiency regulations when sold in California, USA,This regulation is58Electrical products stipulate energy efficiency index requirements、Measurement methods and phased implementation plan。According to the requirements of this regulation,Electrical products must be tested by qualified laboratories in accordance with corresponding U.S. regulations or standards.,Only after proving compliance with the requirements can it be sold in California, USA.。
CECTest scope and method
Sold in California, USA58products need to beCECProduct energy efficiency certification,Mainly for home appliances,power supply,lamps(Ballast or energy-saving lamp)。58All sales of electronic and electrical products in California, USA, requireCECEnergy efficiency certification,The regulations are specifically divided into energy efficiency index requirements、Measurement methods and phased implementation plan。
