(3) Alternate Test Procedure 

Daikin shall be required to test the 

basic models of Altherma products that 

are explicitly listed above according to: 

a. Full Load Performance and 

Efficiency—The Daikin Altherma shall 

be tested and rated according to 

European Standard EN 14511, ‘‘Air 

conditioners, liquid chilling packages 

and heat pumps with electrically driven 

compressors for space heating and 

cooling,’’ except that the test operating 

and test condition tolerances in Tables 

7, 13 and 15 of the DOE test procedure 

in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, 

Appendix M shall apply. Daikin shall 

rate the Altherma full load heating and 

cooling performance (not including the 

DHW contribution) using coefficient of 

performance (COP) and energy 

efficiency ratio (EER). 

b. The European Standard EN 14511 

applies only to testing for COP and EER 

and does not supersede any DOE 

requirements in 10 CFR 430.24. 

(4) Representations. Daikin may make 

representations about the energy use of 

its Altherma heat pump products for 

compliance, marketing, or other 

purposes only to the extent that such 

products have been tested in accordance 

with the provisions outlined above, and 

such representations fairly disclose the 

results of such testing. Daikin may not 

make representations of annual 

operating cost, or any parameters other 

than COP and EER for the Altherma’s 

space heating and space cooling 

functions, respectively. 

(5) This waiver shall remain in effect 

from the date this Decision and Order is 

issued, consistent with the provisions of 

10 CFR 430.27(m). 

(6) This waiver is issued on the 

condition that the statements, 

representations, and documentary 

materials provided by the petitioner are 

valid. DOE may revoke or modify the 

waiver at any time if it determines that 

the factual basis underlying the petition 

for waiver is incorrect, or the results 

from the alternate test procedure are 

unrepresentative of the basic models’ 

true energy consumption characteristics.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR 430.27(l)), 

DOE gives notice of the issuance of its 

decision and order as set forth below. 

The decision and order grants 

Electrolux a waiver from the applicable 

clothes washer test procedure in 10 CFR 

part 430, subpart B, appendix J1 for 

certain basic models of clothes washers 

with capacities greater than 3.8 cubic 

feet, provided that Electrolux tests and 

rates such products using the alternate 

test procedure described in this notice. 

Today’s decision prohibits Electrolux 

from making representations concerning 

the energy efficiency of these products 

unless the product has been tested 

consistent with the provisions and 

restrictions in the alternate test 

procedure set forth in the decision and 

order below, and the representations 

fairly disclose the test results. 

Distributors, retailers, and private 

labelers are held to the same standard 

when making representations regarding 

the energy efficiency of these products.

Decision and Order 

In the Matter of: Electrolux Home 

Products (Case No. CW–017). 

I. Background and Authority 

Title III, Part B of the Energy Policy 

and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), 

Public Law 94–163 (42 U.S.C. 6291–

1For editorial reasons, upon codification in the 

U.S. Code, Part B was re-designated Part A. 

6309, as codified) established the 

Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products Other Than 

Automobiles, a program covering most 

major household appliances, which 

includes the residential clothes washers 

that are the focus of this notice.1 Part B 

includes definitions, test procedures, 

labeling provisions, energy conservation 

standards, and the authority to require 

information and reports from 

manufacturers. Further, Part B 

authorizes the Secretary of Energy to 

prescribe test procedures that are 

reasonably designed to produce results 

which measure energy efficiency, 

energy use, or estimated operating costs, 

and that are not unduly burdensome to 

conduct. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(3)) The test 

procedure for automatic and semiautomatic clothes washers is contained 

in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix 

J1. 

DOE’s regulations for covered 

products contain provisions allowing a 

person to seek a waiver for a particular 

basic model from the test procedure 

requirements for covered consumer 

products when (1) The petitioner’s basic 

model for which the petition for waiver 

was submitted contains one or more 

design characteristics that prevent 

testing according to the prescribed test 

procedure, or (2) when prescribed test 

procedures may evaluate the basic 

model in a manner so unrepresentative 

of its true energy consumption 

characteristics as to provide materially 

inaccurate comparative data. 10 CFR 

430.27(a)(1). Petitioners must include in 

their petition any alternate test 

procedures known to the petitioner to 

evaluate the basic model in a manner 

representative of its energy 

consumption characteristics. 10 CFR 

430.27(b)(1)(iii). 

The Assistant Secretary for Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy (the 

Assistant Secretary) may grant a waiver 

subject to conditions, including 

adherence to alternate test procedures. 

10 CFR 430.27(l). Waivers remain in 

effect pursuant to the provisions of 10 

CFR 430.27(m). 

Any interested person who has 

submitted a petition for waiver may also 

file an application for interim waiver of 

the applicable test procedure 

requirements. 10 CFR 430.27(a)(2). The 

Assistant Secretary will grant an interim 

waiver request if it is determined that 

the applicant will experience economic 

hardship if the interim waiver is denied, 

if it appears likely that the petition for 

waiver will be granted, and/or the 

Assistant Secretary determines that it 

would be desirable for public policy 

reasons to grant immediate relief 

pending a determination on the petition 

for waiver. 10 CFR 430.27(g). 

On December 23, 2010, DOE issued 

enforcement guidance on the 

application of recently granted waivers 

for large-capacity clothes washers and 

announced steps to improve the waiver 

process and refrain from certain 

enforcement actions. This guidance can 

be found on DOE’s Web site at http:// 

www.gc.energy.gov/1661.htm. 

II. Electrolux’s Petition for Waiver: 

Assertions and Determinations 

On December 8, 2010, Electrolux filed 

a petition for waiver and application for 

interim waiver from the test procedure 

applicable to automatic and semiautomatic clothes washers set forth in 

10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix J1. 

In particular, Electrolux requested a 

waiver to test its residential clothes 

washers with basket volumes greater 

than 3.8 cubic feet on the basis of the 

test procedures contained in 10 CFR 

part 430, Subpart B, Appendix J1, with 

a revised Table 5.1 which extends the 

range of container volumes beyond 3.8 

cubic feet. Electrolux’s petition and 

DOE’s grant of interim waiver were 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 27, 2010. 75 FR 81258. DOE 

received no comments on the Electrolux 

petition. 

Electrolux’s petition seeks a waiver 

from the DOE test procedure because 

the mass of the test load used in the 

procedure, which is based on the basket 

volume of the test unit, is currently not 

defined for basket sizes greater than 3.8 

cubic feet. Electrolux manufactures 

basic models with capacities greater 

than 3.8 cubic feet, and it is for these 

basic models that Electrolux seeks a 

waiver from DOE’s test procedure. In 

addition, if the current maximum test 

load mass is used to test these products, 

the tested energy use would be less than 

the actual energy usage, and could 

evaluate the basic model in a manner so 

unrepresentative of its true energy 

consumption characteristics as to 

provide materially inaccurate 

comparative data. 

Table 5.1 of Appendix J1 defines the 

test load sizes used in the test procedure 

as linear functions of the basket volume. 

Electrolux has submitted a revised table 

to extend the maximum basket volume 

from 3.8 cubic feet to 6.0 cubic feet, a 

table similar to one developed by the 

Association of Home Appliance 

Manufacturers (AHAM), and provided 

to DOE in comments on a recently 

published DOE residential clothes 

washer test procedure Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR). 75 FR 

57556 (September 21, 2010). When this 

rulemaking is complete, any amended 

test procedure will supersede the test 

procedure described in this waiver. 

AHAM provided calculations to 

extrapolate Table 5.1 of the DOE test 

procedure to larger container volumes. 

DOE believes that this is a reasonable 

procedure because the DOE test 

procedure defines test load sizes as 

linear functions of the basket volume. 

AHAM’s extrapolation was performed 

on the load weight in pounds, and 

AHAM appears to have used the 

conversion formula of 1⁄2.2 (or 

0.45454545) to convert pounds to 

kilograms. In applications for interim 

waiver and petitions for waiver, LG and 

Samsung submitted tables similar to the 

table proposed by AHAM, rounding the 

results in kilograms to two decimal 

places, but with a more accurate 

conversion factor of 0.45359237. 

However, Samsung and LG’s table does 

contain small rounding errors which 

were corrected in the table proposed by 

DOE in the recently published clothes 

washer test procedure NOPR. Electrolux 

now requests that DOE approve its use 

of a table identical to Table 5.1 

proposed in DOE’s NOPR. Id. 

As DOE has stated in the past, it is in 

the public interest to have similar 

products tested and rated for energy 

consumption on a comparable basis. 

Previously, DOE granted a test 

procedure waiver to Whirlpool for three 

of Whirlpool’s clothes washer models 

with container capacities greater than 

3.8 cubic feet. 75 FR 69653 (November 

15, 2010). This notice contained an 

alternate test procedure, which 

extended the linear relationship 

between maximum test load size and 

clothes washer container volume in 

Table 5.1 to include a maximum test 

load size of 15.4 pounds (lbs) for clothes 

washer container volumes of 3.8 to 3.9 

cubic feet. On December 10, 2010, DOE 

granted a similar waiver to General 

Electric Company (GE), which used the 

same alternate test procedure. 75 FR 

76968. DOE has also granted interim 

waivers to Samsung and to LG for 

similar products. 75 FR 57937 

(September 23, 2010); 75 FR 71680 

(November 24, 2010). All decisions and 

orders for this type of product use the 

Table 5.1 values presented in DOE’s 

NOPR. 

III. Consultations With Other Agencies 

DOE consulted with the Federal Trade 

Commission (FTC) staff concerning the 

Electrolux petition for waiver. The FTC 

staff did not have any objections to 

granting a waiver to Electrolux.
