WTO.美国通报节能计划：家用制冷产品的试验程序

编号：G/TBT/N/USA/1559
美国能源部（DOE）提议修订消费冰箱、冰箱冷冻柜和冷冻柜以及其他制冷产品（统称为“消费制冷产品”）的测试程序。拟议的试验程序修正案将界定“隔间”一词，并修订将自动制冰机的能源使用和某些其他能源使用功能包括在内的方法。能源部还提议调整这些产品的标准，以确保试验方法的变化保证制造商提高合格产品的能效，或允许以前不合格的产品达到当前的节能标准。能源部宣布召开一次公开会议和征求意见期，以收集对其提案的意见和数据，以及在确保测试程序在平均使用周期或使用期内的能源使用代表性的同时减少监管负担。
英文原文：
Notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comment - The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") proposes to amend the test procedures for consumer refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers, and miscellaneous refrigeration products (collectively "consumer refrigeration products"). The proposed test procedure amendments would, among other things, define the term "compartment", and revise the method for including the energy use of automatic icemakers and certain other energy-using functions. DOE is also proposing to adjust the standards for these products to ensure that this change in test methodology does not require manufacturers to increase the efficiency of already compliant products or allow previously non-compliant products to meet the current energy conservation standard. DOE is announcing a public meeting and comment period to collect comments and data on its proposal, and methods to reduce regulatory burden while ensuring the test procedures' representativeness of energy use during an average use cycle or period of use.（技术服务中心）
