About the Changes to the ENERGY STAR® Program  

EPA and DOE have announced enhancement of product qualification and verification to the ENERGY STAR^® Program (Source: energystar.gov). Since January 2011, prior to ENERGY STAR^® labeling, all ENERGY STAR^® Partners are required to have third-party ENERGY STAR^® certification of product performance. Partners also have to submit products to the respective products' EPA Recognized Certification Body for on-going verification testing in order to ensure the labeled products' continuity in meeting ENERGY STAR^® requirements. 

 

24-hour Certification  

Intertek will provide 24-hour certification for the new ENERGY STAR^® third-party certification requirements. After meeting the required testing parameters, manufacturers can catch time-to-market demands for seeking ENERGY STAR^® approvals.

 

Global Network of Energy Efficiency Testing Labs  

Intertek deployed 18 global Energy Efficiency Testing Laboratories, throughout North America, Asia and Europe, for manufacturers' testing requirements.  

Intertek Hong Kong can provide immediate testing capacity for qualification and verification testing for Appliances, Office Equipment, Home Electronics and Lighting.
