Cooking Products Rulemaking

The Department held an informal public meeting on April 27, 2006, to discuss

and receive comments on issues to be addressed in the Framework Document

for establishing energy conservation standards for residential electric and gas

ranges and ovens and microwave ovens, dishwashers, dehumidifiers, and

commercial clothes washers. The Department is also initiating the data

collection. Written comments on these subjects are encouraged and should be

received by May 11, 2006.

For information related to the April 27, 2006, meeting, visit the Home

Appliances Public Meeting webpage.

The U.S. Department of Energy published a Final Rule for Electric Cooking

Products on September 8, 1998, to address the energy conservation standards

for electric cooking products (including microwave products) and substitute the

term "cooking products" for the current obsolete term "kitchen ranges and

ovens". This rule became effective on October 8, 1998.

The Department also amended its test procedures for Kitchen Ranges,

Cooktops, Ovens, and Microwave Ovens which was published on October 3,

1997.
