Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Test Procedure for Microwave Ovens

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to amend its test procedures for microwave ovens under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to provide for the measurement of standby mode and off mode power use by microwave ovens. The proposed amendments would incorporate into the DOE test procedure provisions from the International Electrotechnical Commission's Standard 62301, Household electrical appliances[m dash]Measurement of standby power, First Edition 2005-06, as well as language to clarify application of these provisions for measuring standby mode and off mode power in microwave ovens. The proposed amendments would also correct a technical error in the calculation of microwave test cooking energy output. DOE will hold a public meeting to discuss and receive comments on the issues presented in this notice.
