US energy labeling rules require manufacturers of certain appliances to disclose the product's annual energy cost or efficiency information on the Energy Guide label in accordance with the Department of Energy's (DOE) testing program and to report their findings to the FTC. These bright yellow EnergyGuide labels show consumers how much energy it might take to run a piece of equipment each year, depending on how much energy it uses, and they make it easier for shoppers to compare energy usage between similar models. Today, let’s take a look at what Amazon’s US lighting (Lighting Facts) labels must comply with DOE (US Department of Energy) testing and certification requirements and FTC (US Federal Trade Commission) requirements.

Which products must bear the EnergyGuide label?

The rule requires Energy Guide labels to be placed on washing machines, refrigerators, freezers, televisions, water heaters, dishwashers, room air conditioners, central air conditioners, furnaces, boilers, heat pumps and pool heaters .

What information do websites and catalogs selling EnergyGuide labeled products need to include?

Any manufacturer, distributor, retailer or private labeler advertising an EnergyGuide labeled product on a website or in a print catalog must clearly and conspicuously disclose all information on the product's EnergyGuide label on the page where the product is listed , or display an image of the EnergyGuide label itself. However, this requirement applies only to websites and print catalogs that include terms of sale, retail prices, and consumer ordering instructions. Effective January 15, 2014, these websites and directories must display the EnergyGuide label. The label must be legible and closely match the price of the product on each page that contains a detailed description of the product.

The following are energy efficiency label templates for common products:

Products that meet the energy efficiency guidelines established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can also apply for the Energy Star certification label. Consumers mainly use this label to purchase energy-saving products, and at the same time, according to the federal decree, they can also obtain priority purchases.
