On October 9, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) officially published the "Final Rule of Federal Register" and determined the effective and compliance dates. This rule establishes and amends the certification requirements, labeling requirements, and enforcement provisions for certain types of consumer and commercial and industrial equipment.
Important Update 1: DOE's Latest Certification Rules - Effective and Compliance Dates Confirmed
Important Update 2: EPS, BCS, and GSLs Certification Report Update
Important Update 3: DOE Certification Report Template Update
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is working to finalize the certification templates to provide the certification bodies with adequate time to prepare the compliance date of the energy conservation standards in this final rule. For certification reports submitted after the effective date of this final rule but before the compliance date, manufacturers elect to submit certification reports according to the requirements of this final rule (i.e., early compliance is permitted). The DOE CCMS GSLs report template will be followed up by Beko technical experts, and once it is released, manufacturers will be notified as soon as possible.

Certification Management System (CCMS):
The Certification Management System (CCMS) is administered by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Appliance Standards Program.MS is the online interface through which manufacturers of covered products and commercial equipment must electronically submit their compliance certification information to DOE. The public certification database houses only the records for current basic models submitted within the last year. While manufacturers may submit new information daily, the certification database will be updated approximately every two weeks to time for DOE to actively review all submissions.
DOE CCMS Annual Certification Report Rules:
The US Department of Energy (DOE) regularly issues an annual certification report submission notice for the DOE certified CCMS system. According to 1 CFR 429.12(d) of the US Federal Law, the DOE CCMS requires that certified products must undergo annual certification report submissions
The DOE CCMS annual certification report date is based on a one-year period from the date of customer submission.
