Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Residential Clothes Washers

In this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to revise its test procedure for residential clothes washers established under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). DOE proposes to incorporate provisions of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard 62301, "Household electrical appliances--Measurement of standby power" (Second Edition). DOE also proposes to update the provisions for measuring active mode energy and water consumption.
