美国颁布商用洗衣机节能标准-G/TBT/N/USA/896/Add.1号通报

   2014年12月22日，美国能源部能源效率和可再生能源办公室发布G/TBT/N/USA/896/Add.1号通报，颁布商用洗衣机节能标准。自1975年美国能源政策和保护法案(EPCA)颁布以来，各种消费产品及某些商业、工业设备，包括商用洗衣机（CCWs）在节能标准上也作了相关修订,EPCA也要求任何新的或修订的节能标准必须以取得能效上的最大改进作为设计目标，从而达到技术上可行，经济上合理，并节约大量能源。美国能源部（DOE）准备采用的这项CCWS节能标准将更加严格，能达到EPCA的上述目标。
       该标准规则生效时间为2015年2月13日，必须符合CCWS确定的修订标准时间为2018年1月1日。

TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Clothes Washers

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy

ACTION: Final rule

SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including commercial clothes washers (CCWs) . EPCA also requires that any new or amended energy conservation standard must be designed to achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. In this final rule, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is adopting more stringent energy conservation standards for CCWs because DOE has determined that the amended energy conservation standards for CCWs would result in significant conservation of energy, and are technologically feasible and economically justified.

DATES: The effective date of this rule is 13 February 2015. Compliance with the amended standards established for CCWs in this final rule is required on 1 January 2018.
