2. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can DOE certification and CEC certification be done simultaneously?
A: Yes. Through an optimised test plan, we share test data and carry out both certification processes in parallel.
Q: If a product is sold only in California, is DOE certification still required?
A: Yes. DOE is a federal mandatory requirement. Products must meet DOE requirements before they can be sold in any U.S. state.
Q: How long is U.S. energy efficiency certification valid?
A: DOE and CEC certifications remain valid as long as there is no product design change or regulatory update. When such changes occur, re‑certification is required.
Q: What are the consequences of failing energy efficiency certification?
A: Products cannot be sold in the affected markets. Products already sold may be required to be removed from the market and face fines or other penalties.
