US Energy Star CertificationEnergy Star Energy conservation programs for consumer electronics

Certification introduction

Energy Star is an energy conservation program led by the U.S. government that mainly targets consumer electronics. The Energy Star program was launched in 1992 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The plan was later adopted by Australia, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand and the European Union. The program is voluntary, and Energy Star standards are typically 20-30% more energy efficient than U.S. federal standards. The first products to cooperate with this plan were mainly computers and other information appliances, and later gradually extended to motors, office equipment, lighting, home appliances, etc. It later expanded to buildings. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has actively promoted the Energy Star Building Program since 1996. The Environmental Protection Agency assists voluntary participants in assessing the energy usage of their buildings (including lighting, air conditioning, office equipment, etc.) and planning the building. Energy efficiency improvement action plan and follow-up follow-up work, so the Energy Star logo can also be found in some homes or industrial and commercial buildings that introduce new environmental protection concepts.

A total of seven countries and regions around the world participate in the Energy Star program promoted by the US Environmental Protection Agency, namely the United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union. The International Energy Star Program Conference has been held annually since 2001. There are now more than 30 categories of products included in the scope of this certification, such as household appliances, heating/cooling equipment, electronic products, lighting products, etc. Currently, the most popular products in the Chinese market are lighting products, including energy-saving lamps (CFL) , luminaires (RLF), traffic lights and exit lights.

Energy Star tests include:

Safety, EMI, surge, noise (non-Energy Star energy efficiency test items) Light performance and energy efficiency test items:

1. Light efficiency and luminous flux

2. Color temperature, color deviation, color rendering index

3. Light intensity distribution and regional luminous flux distribution

4. Chromaticity space non-uniformity

5. Switching cycle

6. Luminous maintenance rate

7. Color maintenance rate

8. Size

9. Electrical parameters

About Us

Shenzhen LCS Compliance Testing Laboratory Ltd., abbr. for LCS, was founded in 2004 in Shenzhen, LCS is now growing into an independent comprehensive third-party institution which focuses on test & certification. Profound technical background and diligent working attitude decided LCS with an outstanding high starting point from the outset，pioneering spirit and consciousness of keeping pace with the times which predestined the thoroughly tempered course of LCS.
