US Energy Star Certification Energy Star Covers Most Of The Electronic Products Used In Daily Life

Certification introduction:

Energy Star is an energy efficiency project jointly launched by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, which has made its own contribution to saving energy and protecting the environment. Energy Star covers most electronic products in daily life, such as household appliances, traditional fluorescent lighting, new LED/SSL solid-state lighting, building energy conservation, office equipment, cooling/heating products, commercial food processing equipment, LED all-in-one light bulbs, SSL solid-state lighting fixtures, connectable smart lighting products, integrated fluorescent CFLs, electronic ballasts, tungsten lamps, external power adapters, air conditioners, TVs, set-top boxes, etc. We can also perform long-term life based on IESNA LM-80-08, IESNA LM-80-15, IESNA LM-80-2020 and IESNA TM-21-11 standards, your LED light source product is expected to last 6000 hours or more during the LED period Lumen maintenance testing ensures your product can quickly and smoothly obtain the U.S. Energy Star certification.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) launched the new Energy Star third-party certification process (Third-Party Certification) on January 1, 2011. If a manufacturer wants his product to be marked with the ENERGY STAR mark, it must be tested by an EPA-accredited testing laboratory and a test report must be issued and submitted to an EPA-accredited third-party certification body (CB) for review before it can be included in the ENERGY STAR certification.

The full name of FCC is Federal Communications Commission, and Chinese is the Federal Communications Commission of the United States. Established in 1934 by COMMUNICATIONACT, it is an independent agency of the U.S. government and reports directly to Congress. The FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio, television, telecommunications, satellite, and cable television. Involving more than 50 states in the United States, Colombia and the United States. In order to ensure the safety of radio and wired communication products related to life and property, the FCC Engineering and Technology Department is responsible for the technical support of the committee and is responsible for equipment approval. Many radio application products, communication products and digital products require FCC approval to enter the US market.

Basic information on FCC certification:

• Is it mandatory: Yes

• Controlled products: 9K-3000GHz electrical and electronic products

• Factory inspection: None

• Certificate validity period: None

• Local testing: currently partially required

• Local Agent: FCC Part 68 required, others not required

Certification type:

On November 2, 2017, the FCC merged DoC and Verification into SDoC (Supplier Declaration of Conformity). SDoC certification will replace the FCC Verification and DoC certification procedures. All equipment that is applicable to the FCC Verification and DoC certification procedures can adopt the SDoC certification procedure.

The FCC divides the types of electronic products into two different certification methods: FCC SDoC and FCC ID (Certification). The former is suitable for ordinary products without wireless functions, and the latter is suitable for products with wireless functions.

FCC Common Standards:

Among them, FCC PART 15 and PART 18 are the most widely used. The scope of application of FCC standards:

• FCC PART15 C/E/F Anticipated Radiation Equipment Testing

• FCC Part 18 Industrial, Scientific and Medical Devices

• FCC Part 22 Public Mobile Communications Services

• FCC Part 24 Personal Communications Services

• FCC PART 25 Satellite Communications Services

• FCC PART 27 Other FCC Wireless Communications Services

• FCC Part 68 Telecommunications Terminal Equipment

• FCC Part 15 regulates transmission devices that are intentional, unintentional, or transient and do not require a personal use license. It includes technical specifications, regulatory requirements and other market access conditions. Products are mainly divided into four categories: unintentional emission equipment, intentional emission equipment, license-exempt personal communication equipment, and license-exempt national basic information equipment.

• FCC Part 18 regulates emissions of electromagnetic energy from industrial, scientific and medical equipment (ISM) operating in certain frequency spectrum to avoid harmful interference to authorized wireless communications services.

NRTL refers to Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory, which is the abbreviation of Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory in English. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires products used in the workplace to be tested and certified by a nationally recognized laboratory. Ensure the personal safety of users. In North America, manufacturers must conduct strict testing in accordance with national standards when legally selling products for civilian or industrial use on the market. Products can only be legally sold on the market if they pass relevant testing by a Nationally Recognized Laboratory (NRTL).

Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) are third-party organizations that certify products for the North American market. NRTL is recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under 29 CFR1910.7 to provide safety testing and certification services for products used in U.S. workplaces. In Canada, only certification bodies accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) can carry out such services.
