Brief introduction of DOE certification (power supply) in USA

The U.S. Code of federal regulations (10 CFR 430) has specified that all external power suppliers entering the U.S. market shall reach the minimum energy efficiency level IV and be clearly marked on the product. In addition, manufacturers and brands are also required to submit two important statement documents to doe. The first is the declaration of compliance that the product meets the energy efficiency requirements of federal regulations. The second is the first certificate report of the product. Both documents must be sent to the DOE (Department of energy) by mail.

The document preparation shall be completed in the form published by DOE, and the certificate report can be submitted by the third party on behalf of the manufacturer / brand manufacturer. The information provided in the document shall cover the product class, manufacturer / brand name, performance (%), power consumption (W) and rated output power (W) of each single model.
