CEC certification is by the United States California Energy Commission (California Energy Commission)) on December 30, 2005 the legal implementation of the appliance energy efficiency regulations (Appliance Efficiency Regulation). The purpose of the regulation is to improve the efficiency of electrical products, conserve energy, and reduce gas emissions and the greenhouse effect.

With more and more electronic products appearing in daily life, "saving energy" will become an urgent issue that everyone must face in the 21st century. The U.S. California Energy Commission is about to implement a new mandatory standard for the energy efficiency of AC-DC and AC-AC external power supplies on July 1, 2006, when almost all electronic products will be affected.

The standard will cover all the use of external power supply (such as chargers and adapters) products, including cell phones, home wireless phones, portable music players, handheld game consoles, toys, etc., and require these products in standby and use the state of a more efficient way to use energy.

CEC certified standards:

In addition to energy savings, CEC's new code will also have a significant impact on the environment. According to the company, if all external power supplies in California were to comply with the new standard, California would be able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 360,000 tons per year, which is equivalent to the annual emissions of 60,000 cars.

The regulation requires electrical products sold in California to first meet the Equipment Efficiency Regulation, which establishes energy efficiency requirements, measurement methods and a phased-in program for 58 categories of electrical products. In accordance with the requirements of the regulations, electrical products must be qualified by the appropriate U.S. regulations or standards for testing, proof of compliance with the requirements before sales in California.

CEC certification of 58 types of products can be summarized as follows

Charger category: such as Bluetooth headset, Bluetooth stereo, smart bracelet, laptop, cell phone, tablet and other products with small capacity battery;

Power supply category: external power supplies, power adapters;

Consumer audio and video devices: such as set-top boxes, monitors, DVD players and other products;

Television

Lamps and lanterns: bulb lamps, tubes, etc;

Home appliances: refrigerators, air conditioners and other products;
