AbstractThe current Appliance Efficiency Regulations (California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Sections 1601through 1608), dated May 2013, contain amendments that were incorporated due to changes in federallaw and replaces all previous versions. The official version of these regulations is published by theOffice of Administrative Law.The Appliance Efficiency Regulations include standards for both federally regulated appliances andnonfederally-regulated appliances. Twenty-three categories of appliances are included in the scope ofthese regulations. The standards within these regulations apply to appliances that are sold or offered forsale in California, except those sold wholesale in California for final retail sale outside the state andthose designed and sold exclusively for use in recreational vehicles or other mobile equipment.Keywords: Appliance Efficiency Regulations, appliance standards, refrigerators, air conditioners, spaceheaters, water heaters, pool heaters, pool pumps, electric spas, pool pump motors, plumbing fittings,plumbing fixtures, showerheads, spray valves, faucets, tub spout diverters, water closets, urinals, ceilingfans, ceiling fan light kits, dehumidifiers, fluorescent lamp ballasts, lamps, general purpose lighting,emergency lighting, exit signs, traffic signal modules, traffic signal lamps, luminaires, torchieres,portable lighting fixtures, metal halide luminaires, high intensity discharge fixtures, HID fixtures,undercabinet luminaires, dishwashers, clothes washers, clothes dryers, cooking products, food serviceequipment, electric motors, low voltage dry-type distribution transformers, external AC to DC and ACto AC power supplies, consumer electronics, consumer audio and video equipment, televisions, compactaudio products, digital versatile disc players, digital versatile disc recorders, battery chargerSingh, Harinder, Ken Rider, Betty Chrisman, and Jared Babula. 2014. 2014 Appliance EfficiencyRegulations.
