Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 594/2013

US : Energy Labeling Rule Amended

The United States Federal Trade Commission published in the Federal Register (FR) of 23 July 2013 a final rule amending the Energy Labeling Rule by updating comparability ranges and unit energy costs for many EnergyGuide labels. Minor label changes were made to simplify and improve the disclosures. It also issued a conditional exemption and rule amendments to labeling requirements for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers, and clothes washers to address changes to the Department of Energy test procedures. The amendments will become effective on 15 November 2013. The relevant FR notice is available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-07-23/pdf/2013-17553.pdf.
