Specification of CEC Certification

The California Energy Commission (CEC) enforces mandatory energy efficiency standards for appliances and electronics sold in California. Unlike a formal 'certification', CEC compliance requires manufacturers to:

Test products to CEC-approved methods
Meet stricter-than-federal efficiency standards
Register products in CEC's MAEDbS database
Properly label products (where required)
