Change to Third Party Certification
•
Through over 19 years of shared effort, EPA and partners have built something of real value –
the
ENERGY STAR brand•
Maintaining the value of this brand requires ensuring products labeled with the ENERGY STAR deliver on their promise to the consumer
•
Recent developments: Increased scrutiny of voluntary programs–
Inspector General Reports at EPA and DOE–
Government Accountability Office ENERGY STAR Investigation

Enhanced Qualification and Verification
•
Third Party Certification of ENERGY STAR products effective January 1, 2011
•
Before a product can be labeled with the ENERGY STAR, performance must be certified by an EPA-recognized third-
party based on testing in an EPA-recognized lab•
ENERGY STAR manufacturers must participate in verification testing programs run by the Certification Bodies (CBs).
•
EPA offering technical assistance to CBs to ensure a smooth transition for certifying products
•
As hoped, market response in terms of labs and certifiers stepping up to provide the necessary services has been tremendous.
