    The FTC has announced today proposed changes to its Energy Labeling Rule to conform its television testing and reporting requirements to a new Department of Energy test procedure published in October.

    Under the Energy Labeling Rule, manufacturers must attach yellow EnergyGuide labels which state an annual operating cost and energy consumption rating, and a range for comparing the highest and lowest energy consumption for all similar models. EnergyGuide labels appear on televisions, clothes washers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, water heaters, room air conditioners, central air conditioners, furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, and pool heaters.

    The FTC proposes to replace the Rule’s reference to the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR test with the DOE test that was announced in October.

    More information on EnergyGuide labels can be found at Shopping for Home Appliances? Use the EnergyGuide Label.
