EPA has updated relevant ENERGY STAR electronics product specifications to reflect that the Single- and Multiple-voltage EPSs shall meet the Level V or higher performance requirements under the International Efficiency Marking Protocol. This update does not affect currently certified products but rather allows products with a level VI EPS to be certified as ENERGY STAR.
The Draft Version 6.1 Computer specification and associated documents are posted below. Stakeholders are encouraged to review these documents and provide written feedback via email to computers@energystar.gov by April 9, 2014.
EPA wishes to engage stakeholders on the expansion of the specification to include slate/tablet computing products.
