The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the new qualification requirements for Energy Star as followings,
a. Products (including product packaging, product literature, Web sites, etc.) may no longer be labeled by manufacturers until qualifying product information, including a lab report, is submitted to and approved by EPA. This policy, which has been in place for certain product categories, such as residential light fixtures and CFLs, is now extended to other product categories. While no labels need be removed from products or product literature, for any product manufactured on or after March 30, 2010, lab reports with other qualification information must be submitted to EPA for qualification approval.
b. New ENERGY STAR partners will no longer be granted access to the ENERGY STAR mark upon joining the program. Going forward, the ENERGY STAR mark will be made available to partners only after a qualifying product is submitted and approved.
