Article Source:Kinri Energy | Author:Kinri Energy | Issuing Time:2024.04.29
The Department of Energy, abbreviated as DOE, has issued DOE certification in accordance with US energy efficiency regulations, which is the source of DOE certification; CEC is the English abbreviation for the California Energy Commission in the United States. On December 30, 2005, CEC issued energy efficiency certification, also known as CEC certification, in accordance with California's electronic and electrical regulations.

Certification purpose
The main purpose of issuing DOE certification is to save energy and reduce emissions, help users save electricity, and thus reduce energy consumption demand and greenhouse effect. The latest DOE regulations require all products within the scope of DOE certification to meet the requirements; The main purpose of CEC certification is to improve the efficiency of electronic and electrical products, save energy, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. CEC certification involves 58 categories of products, and products within the scope of CEC certification must meet the requirements of CEC certification, otherwise they cannot be sold.
The benefits of certification are as follows
DOE: For customers, purchasing products with DOE certification means that the power consumption of the product will be lower than that of products without DOE certification, which can save expenses; For sales areas, DOE certification can help them save energy, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and reduce greenhouse effects, thereby contributing to environmental protection; For manufacturers, it can make their products more competitive.
CEC: For customers, if the product undergoes CEC certification, the power consumption of the product will naturally decrease, which can save expenses; For the California region, CEC certification can save energy, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and reduce greenhouse effects for the entire California region; For manufacturers, it can ensure the smooth entry of products into the California market and improve the competitiveness of their own products.
These two certifications are actually the difference between the United States (DOE) and California (CEC), but usually the two certifications are done together because when products are sold to the United States, they will definitely be sold in the California region as well.
