Energy Star

This is the certification that most people are familiar with. When shopping for appliances and electronics, consumers often see a blue sticker signifying Energy Star approval. This sticker demonstrates that the product has been verified to save more energy than traditional models.

Energy Star products are independently certified to save energy without sacrificing features or functionality. Consumers look for the blue Energy Star label to save money on their energy bills and to help protect the environment.

Certification Eligibility Requirements

Products can earn the Energy Star label by meeting the energy efficiency requirements set form in Energy Star product specifications. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires all Energy Star products to be third-party certified. Products are tested in an EPA-recognized laboratory and reviewed by an EPA-recognized certification body before they can carry the label.
